Relationships between safety culture measured by the SAQ-C and safety behaviors (positive = 1, negative = 0); comparing the odds ratio (and 95% confidence interval) between those with and without (reference group) positive attitudes to the teamwork climate, safety climate, job satisfaction, perception of management, and working conditions by generalized estimation equation models, adjusting for the clustering effects at hospital levels.
