Tests of normality. Table produced by SPSS describing the tests of normality that were performed on all main variables: individual resilience (CDRS1 to CDRS10), mindfulness (MAAS1– MAAS5), organizational resilience (BRT1 to BRT13), and quality and safety (QS1 to QS8). This includes the Kolmogorov - Smirnov and Shapiro - Wilk tests. The significance value (Sig.) under 0.05 indicates that the variables individual resilience, organizational resilience and quality and safety are not normally distributed. This does not necessarily indicate a problem with the scale used, but rather reflects the underlying nature of the construct being measured. In the case of resilience previous studies have shown this to be low among radiological personnel, which can explain why this variable is somewhat skewed. Low organizational resilience can explain why this variable is skewed, and high quality and safety can explain why this variable is skewed even if there are no problems with the scales themselves. Further inspections of normality are shown in figures 2, 3, 4 and 5
