Hospitals’ interest in promoting patient safety culture and resilience has steadily increased. The latest version (2014) of the Safety Attitude Questionnaire (SAQ) for assessing safety culture within health-care institutions was expanded from six to eight dimensions. This questionnaire has been used to collect responses from more than 110,000 health-care practitioners in Taiwan each year. However, the new SAQ dimensions are often misinterpreted, and some have claimed that hospitals or practitioners directly replace the “emotional exhaustion” dimension with a “resilience” dimension. However, most of these claims or applications are based on correlation analyses that cannot be implemented in practice. This paper dispels myths related to the dimensions of the new SAQ by clarifying the relationships among resilience, emotional exhaustion, safety climate, and resilience promotion based on theories and research findings. Additionally, this paper proposes utilizing the new SAQ to promote resilience, thereby enhancing the value of the instrument.
