'Speaking up' about patient safety concerns and unprofessional behaviour among residents: validation of two scales.

Martinez W, Etchegaray JM, Thomas EJ, et al. BMJ Qual Saf. 2015 Jul 21; [Epub ahead of print].

This study validated two new surveys for measuring aspects of safety culture that are associated with resident physicians' likelihood of speaking up about patient safety concerns and unprofessional behavior. Both scales performed well on psychometric testing. These surveys may fill current gaps in widely used assessment tools.
