However, error in blood transfusion practice jeopardizing safe transfusion and may lead to severe and life-threatening consequences to the patients. Haemovigilance program over the year continue to report, human error is the greatest risks in safe blood transfusion. In Malaysia, reported transfusion reaction due to incorrect blood component transfusion was 0.73%, and the majority (80%) occur in the clinical ward. Nurses play a central role in ensuring safe blood transfusions, as more than half of the steps in blood transfusion are dependent on the nurse's awareness and skills. Sufficient knowledge among nurses were essential to ensure safe practice in patient care and improve patient safety. Besides professional knowledge, good attitudes and perception of health care worker can affect safe behaviours practice and quality of patient care.

The validation involved content validation, exploratory factor analysis for construct validity, internal consistency and test retest for reliability. Results: A total of 210 nurses were responded. The Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin measure of sampling adequacy (KMO) was 0.60 and Bartlett’s test of Sphericity was significant (P<.001). The exploratory analysis was used with the extraction method of the Principal Axis Factoring (PAF) and the varimax rotation. The factor analysis shows 15 factor with the 39 items which were associated with knowledge, attitude and perception of the nurses. The internal consistency for knowledge was 0.549, attitude was 0.713 and perception was 0.586. Conclusion: The questionnaire on nurse’ attitude was valid and reliable with good items that enables it used for accessing nurse’s attitude in blood transfusion patient management.
