Abstract
ABSTRACT Objective: to verify the evidence of psychometric validity of the nursing professionals’ belief assessment instrument in the patient safety training process in a hospital institution. Method: a quantitative study with a methodological design carried out in a teaching hospital in the Brazilian Midwest, from March to June 2018, with the participation of 369 nursing professionals. The instrument used was adapted from the scale already validated Beliefs in the Training System for health professionals. In this study, the adapted instrument was subjected to verification of psychometric properties through assessment of internal consistency and confirmatory factor analysis. Results: the scale’s adapted version was composed of 30 items distributed in three factors: 1 - Beliefs about the contribution of training to individuals and organization; 2 - Beliefs about the training needs assessment process; 3 - Beliefs about results and the training process. The scale showed a satisfactory psychometric index with good adjustment indexes (CFI=0.92 and RMSEA=0.05 and SRMR=0.07), Cronbach’s and Mc Donald’s alpha above 0.86 and significant factor loads of 0.62 to 0.80. Conclusion: the instrument presented adequate psychometric properties in the studied group, which can be reproduced in other institutions and contribute to diagnosis of the dimensions that influence the success of patient safety training, ensuring more assertive decision making to promote better quality results nursing care.

The health educational process presupposes the technical-scientific and ethical-political foundation of professional activities, considering individual and group learning needs.[1]Such needs are observed by gaps in care due to the insufficient performance of some competencies and, by the needs of users and family
The learning needs observed by gaps in nursing care, due to insufficient professional performance of some competencies, ratify educational actions, which aim at the ability to transform reality and mediate proposals in the health care model.[1]

Summary
The health educational process presupposes the technical-scientific and ethical-political foundation of professional activities, considering individual and group learning needs.[1] Such needs are observed by gaps in care due to the insufficient performance of some competencies and, by the needs of users and family. The learning needs observed by gaps in nursing care, due to insufficient professional performance of some competencies, ratify educational actions, which aim at the ability to transform reality and mediate proposals in the health care model.[1] Among these actions and due to the magnitude of patient safety incidents, there are increasing educational strategies for assistance improvement promotion, with emphasis on the role of nursing in preventing and reducing risks and harms in hospital services[2]. In this regard, having a well-developed team is a major factor for patient safety
