Objective: To create, administer, and psychometrically examine a survey to measure two new organizational culture factors - preoccupation with failure and adherence to shared baselines - in healthcare settings.

Method: Direct care providers (n = 4484) from a large healthcare system in the Southern United States completed a survey as part of their annual safety culture assessment.

Results: We provide evidence about the internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha ranged from .80 to .89) factor structure, concurrent validity (correlation with overall patient safety grade ranged from .60 to .67, p <.05), and discriminant validity (correlations less than .85 with safety and teamwork culture) of these two factors.

Conclusions: We established evidence for internal consistency and validity of two new factors that measure aspects of organizational culture - preoccupation with failure and adherence to shared baselines - that are distinct from safety culture and teamwork culture.

The bodybuilder presented the triad of symptoms - tachycardia, tachypnoea, profuse sweating - from 6 months before his death, and was hospitalised for multiple organ failure 4 months before his death. Medical staff attributed this serious episode to his consumption of 2,4-DNP.

ICD-11 adjustment disorder: Translation and validation of the Danish international adjustment disorder questionnaire among a working population of social educators.

Department of Occupational and Environmental Medicine, Odense University Hospital, Denmark; Department of Clinical Research, University of Southern Denmark, Denmark.

Article Synopsis
  • Adjustment disorder is a common diagnosis for work-related stress in Denmark, but its definition in ICD-10 is vague, causing issues in clinical practice and research.
  • The study translates the International Adjustment Disorder Questionnaire (IADQ) into Danish and tests its effectiveness with 609 social educators using confirmatory factor analysis.
  • Results indicate that a two-factor model (preoccupation vs. failure to adapt) fits well, but the close relationship between these factors suggests further research is needed on adjustment disorder in various work environments.
