title: [Cross-cultural adaptation into Spanish of the Nursing Home Survey on Patient Safety Culture questionnaire].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  This article presents the first phase of a research project aimed at adapting a tool for assessing safety culture in nursing homes into Spanish.
  
  
  METHODS
  The Nursing Home on Patient Safety Culture of the Agency for Health Care Research and Quality was translated and culturally adapted. The International Quality of Life Assessment protocol was followed, which included, translation, conceptual equivalence evaluation, back-translation, content validity and a pilot study.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Three of the 42 items were modified with respect to the original version. The remaining modifications were introduced in the F Section, containing sociodemographic information and job related questions.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The adapted questionnaire will help to assess the level of safety of the resident culture among healthcare professionals in these centres, to identity areas for improvement, and to analyze how to evolve when organizational changes are introduced.
