Background. Falls are a serious public health problem, with an estimated 37.3 million falls a year requiring medical assistance. Improving hospital culture to address safety and falls prevention is a major organizational challenge that requires interdisciplinary teams and evidence-based education to change individual behaviors and improve outcomes. Methods. We collaborated with an interdisciplinary team of health practitioners at a critical access hospital to develop a health education program tailored to their internal assessment of falls and safety issues. The resulting program used the Five As behavior change model and evidence-based health education. Education session activities and posttests were used to measure participant outcomes, and the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture was distributed hospital-wide to measure patient safety culture pre- and postintervention. Results. Participants reported increased knowledge, attitudes, and motivations with attendance at education sessions. The AHRQ Hospital Survey showed positive improvements in 10 of the 11 composite categories, 4 of which were statistically significant. Conclusion. The use of the Five As, along with an interdisciplinary health education approach, can improve individual hospital employee falls prevention knowledge, attitudes, and motivations. That individual-level change can improve patient safety culture at the organizational level.

Current antimicrobial stewardship guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) suggest staff nurses play a key role in the stewardship process. The American Nurses Association (ANA) supports the CDC guideline and has charged nursing leaders with allotting organizational resources and aligning their workplace culture to support nurses' role. Despite national attention on nurses' involvement in antimicrobial stewardship, there is neither research describing practices used by nurses that impact antimicrobial stewardship processes; nor, is there understanding about how organizations' patient safety culture influences nurses' role in stewardship. Therefore, the purpose of this dissertation study is to determine pediatric and adult staff nurses' understanding of current practices that support antimicrobial stewardship, nurses' confidence to perform stewardship practices, and the influence of organizational patient safety culture on practices.

Penelitian ini bertujuan mengetahui faktor determinan yang berhubungan dengan terciptanya budaya keselamatan pasien di RS Pemerintah Kabupaten Kuningan. Teknik pengambilan sampel yang digunakan incidental sampling 88 orang perawat pelaksana. Rancangan penelitian menggunakan survey analitik dengan pendekatan cross sectional, uji hipotesis digunakan Chi Square dan regresi logistik ganda. Hasil penelitian menunjukan terdapat pengaruh yang signifikan antara persepsi terhadap manajemen (p 0.0005, odd rasio 21.3), dukungan tim kerja (p 0.0005, odd rasio 13.34), stress kerja (p 0.006, odd rasio 3.94), kepuasan kerja (nilai p 0. 002) dengan budaya keselamatan pasien. Tidak terdapat pengaruh yang signifikan kondisi kerja dengan budaya keselamatan pasien dengan nilai p 0.507. Berdasarkan analisis multuvariat diperoleh persepsi terhadap manajemen menjadi factor determinan dengan nilai p 0.000 < α 0.05. Simpulan; unsur pimpinan memiliki pengaruh yang signifikan dalam menciptakan budaya keselamatan pasien. Pimpinan memiliki kewenangan dalam menerapkan system yang berlaku dalam organisasi, oleh karena itu gaya kepemimpinan, teknik komunikasi serta kemampuan manajerial merupakan suatu hal yang sangat perlu diperhatikan dalam menciptakan atmosfer kerja yang kondusif sebagai upaya terciptanya budaya keselamatan pasien.

An effort to build safety culture is the first step in ensuring patient safety. There are some factors that contribute in the development of safety culture, namely, individual and organizational attitude, leadership, team work, communication, and work load. This study aimed to identify the determinant factors that are related to achievement of patient safety culture in a government-owned hospital in Kuningan Regency. Eighty eight samples of nurses were recruited using incidental sampling technique. The research design was using cross sectional study, the hypothesis testing were using Chi Square and multiple logistic regression. The results showed that there were significant influenced between perception towards management (p= 0.0005, odd rasio 21.3), team work support (p= 0.0005, odd rasio 13.34), work-related stress (p= 0.006, odd rasio 3.94), work satisfaction (p= 0. 002) with patient safety culture. There was not significant influenced between work condition and patient safety (p= 0.507). The multivariate analysis showed that perception towards management was the determinant factor for patient safety culture (p 0.000 < α 0.05). In conclusion, leaders have significant influence in creating patient safety culture. Leaders have authority to implement systems in the organization. Therefore, leadership style, communication technique, and managerial ability are important in order to create a conducive atmosphere for developing patient safety culture. As recommendation, transformational leadership is a model that is appropriate to be applied in order to increase patient safety culture, trainings of effective communication and inter-professional education model are also needed to increase the collaboration skills among health professionals.Keywords:Patient safety culture, work-related stress, work satisfaction.

O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a percepção de trabalhadores de enfermagem de um hospital de ensino acerca da cultura de segurança do paciente frente à gestão hospitalar. Trata-se de uma pesquisa quantitativa desenvolvida em um hospital de 900 leitos. A amostra foi composta por 301 profissionais de enfermagem. O instrumento de coleta foi o questionário da Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, intitulado Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture, traduzido para o Português e adaptado da versão original em inglês. A análise deu-se por meio de estatísticas descritivas e testes específicos. Os resultados referentes à dimensão “Apoio da gestão hospitalar para segurança do paciente” evidenciaram que 53,6% dos participantes discordavam que a administração propiciava um clima de trabalho favorável à segurança do paciente, 46% discordavam que a segurança do paciente fosse uma prioridade da administração e 58,3% concordavam que a administração apenas se interessava pela segurança após a ocorrência de eventos adversos. Tais resultados demonstram a necessidade de envolvimento maior da gestão hospitalar para com a segurança dos pacientes, favorecendo o amadurecimento da cultura de segurança. Ainda, a relação entre a enfermagem e a gestão hospitalar deve ser fortalecida, baseando-se em relações mais próximas e lineares. Conclui-se que não é apenas uma parte da organização que é responsável pela cultura de segurança, há, portanto, a necessidade de envolver a gestão e todos os trabalhadores na criação, implementação e fortalecimento dos sentimentos, valores, comportamentos, atitudes e ações que irão fomentar essa cultura. Palavras-chave: Administração hospitalar. Segurança do paciente. Enfermagem.

Abstract Background The present study aims to investigate the relationship between patient safety culture and the prevention of transmitting bloodborne pathogens among nurses at a general hospital. Methods The participants were 284 nurses working at a general hospital located in a city, and the data were collected between April 26 and May 15, 2019. Questionnaires on patient safety culture and the prevention of bloodborne pathogens were used, and SPSS version 22.0 was used for descriptive and hierarchical regression analysis. Results The results showed that the following factors affected the prevention of bloodborne pathogens: experience with needle stick and sharps injuries (β = − 0.94), teamwork (β = 0.41), knowledge and attitude toward patient safety (β = 0.34), leadership (β = 0.15), and priority of patient safety (β = 0.14). The model’s explanatory power was 53% (F = 32.26, p =< 0.001). Conclusions To increase the compliance of general hospital nurses with practices that promote the prevention of bloodborne pathogens, it is necessary to actively prevent needle sticks and sharps injuries. It is also necessary to prioritize patient safety and to develop and verify the effects of various programs that emphasize factors of patient safety culture, such as leadership, teamwork, knowledge, and attitude.
