The Veterinary Student Survey on Patient Safety Culture (VSSPSC): A Quantitative and Qualitative Exploration of American Veterinary Students' Perceptions of Patient Safety Culture.

Patient safety culture (PSC) is a multidimensional construct that reflects the way healthcare organizations promote safe patient care. Veterinary students are explicitly and implicitly indoctrinated into organizational cultures and will carry these attitudes and behaviors into their future work. In this study, we evaluated the psychometric properties of a PSC survey among veterinary students in the United States and investigated their attitudes toward PSC.
