AB  - The Teamwork and Safety Climate Survey (TSCS) is one of the questionnaires used 
      to measure patient safety. The questionnaire includes two scales: teamwork 
      climate and safety climate. The objective of the study is the linguistic and 
      cultural adaptation of the TSCS to Polish conditions and checking the reliability 
      and usability of the tool in long-term care facilities. Firstly, the TSCS was 
      translated into Polish. Then, a cross-sectional survey was conducted among the 
      medical and auxiliary personnel of long-term care facilities all over Poland. The 
      psychometric properties of the questionnaire were analysed (including Cronbach's 
      alpha coefficient). Correlations between the areas of the questionnaire and 
      individual variables relating to facility parameters were also calculated. 
      Respondents (n = 558) working in 26 different long-term care facilities 
      participated in the study. The analysis has provided four scales instead of two 
      of the original version of the questionnaire (teamwork climate, safety climate, 
      ability to speak up and following the rules, work organisation). Correlation 
      analysis revealed a number of significant correlations between the scales and 
      individual variables corresponding to the parameters of long-term care facilities 
      and respondents themselves. In conclusion, the Polish version of the TSCS may be 
      a useful tool to measure aspects related to patient safety culture in long-term 
      care facilities.
