Safety culture in the operating theatre is only systematically assessed with validated instruments in a few settings: the aim of the study is to adapt the Safety Attitudes Questionnaire OR Version (SAQ-OR) to the Italian context. The Italian-translated version was tested on 48 workers and a group of experts for face and content validity [Content Validity Index (I-CVI); Scale Validity Index (S-CVI)]; internal consistency was assessed with Cronbach's Alpha; stability test-retest was evaluated with Pearson's index. Fifty-six out of fifty-nine items were considered clear by at least 80% of the sample: unclear items were re-evaluated. Eight items had I-CVI less than the threshold of 0.8, and were reevaluated. S-CVI = 0.9; Cronbach's Alpha = 0.95; Pearson's index = 0.861. The linguistic-cultural adaptation into Italian of the SAQ-OR is a starting point for testing its construct validity.
