Data were collected using a 54-item questionnaire that included 9 dimensions of quality, leadership, commitment and support, strategic quality planning, quality management, staff training, reward, use of data, staff involvement and benefits of accreditation. All statistical analysis was performed by SPSS-22 software using descriptive statistics.
