<bold>Aim.</bold> The purpose of the study was psychometric evaluation of the Polish version of the Questionnaire of Attitudes of Healthcare Workers towards Reporting of Clinical Adverse Events (P-RoCAES), based on an adaptation of the Reporting of Clinical Adverse Events Scale (RoCAES) by Wilson B., Bekker H.L., Fylan F.
<bold>Material and methods.</bold> A total of 101 participants took part in the study, 41.4% of whom were internal medicine nurses, the remaining percentage were nursing students.
