| The aim of the study is to evaluate the speak-up behaviour of staff working in direct contact with patients (doctors, nursing staff, medical and technical staff) at the University Hospital Graz. The online survey was conducted between April and May 2026. The data was collected using the validated questionnaire "Speaking up about patient safety questionnaire (SUPS-Q)". Following the implementation of various measures and a speak-up campaign, a follow-up survey using the same questionnaire is to be conducted one year later – in 2027 – to assess the impact of the measures. | — |
