Background and Purpose: Teamwork is an essential component of hospital nursing quality and safety. The purpose of this study is to test the validity and reliability of the Brief TeamSTEPPS Teamwork Perception Questionnaire (Brief T-TPQ). Methods: The 20-item questionnaire was completed electronically by a sample (N = 456) of hospital bedside nurses and tested for reliability and validity. Results: The survey demonstrated internal consistency reliability of .83-.94 with a total survey reliability of .93. A hierarchical relationship three factor subscale structure was confirmed, explaining 64% of the variance and acceptable factor loadings. A secondary five-factor structure revealed statistically and conceptually coherent skills and behaviors sub-s ubscales. Discriminant validity was demonstrated with self-esteem and control over practice. Conclusions: The 20-item Brief T-TPQ is a valid and reliable survey to measure hierarchical teamwork relationships as well as teamwork skills and behaviors.
