Patient safety means a condition in which a patient does not suffer any unnecessary actual harm, nor is exposed to any potential harm related to healthcare. The World Health Organization’s recognition of patient safety, as one of the most important factors in determining high quality healthcare, initiated the systematic introduction of changes in the approach to this issue, both globally and on the level of individual healthcare service providers. In order to enhance the quality and ensure the safety of healthcare services provided, national, European Union, and worldwide institutions focus on the introduction of a so-called patient safety culture. The creation of this safety culture would not be possible without the establishment of its legal framework. The purpose of this article is to shed light on the legislative achievements of the European Union within patient safety, taking into consideration acts that summarize the level of implementation of individual recommendations. This study can be useful both for those who focus their scientific interests on the subject of patient safety and those who need concise information on the legislative measures of the Community in this respect, as well as for medical personnel who want to become acquainted with this issue without reading comprehensive legal acts.

Abstract Background Assessments of the culture surrounding patient safety can inform healthcare settings on how their structures and processes impact patient outcomes. This study investigated patient safety culture in Primary Health Care Centres in Kuwait, and benchmarked the findings against regional and international results. This study also examined the association between predictors and outcomes of patient safety culture in these settings. Methods This cross-sectional quantitative study used the Medical Office Survey on Patient Safety Culture. The study was targeted at staff of all the Primary Health Care Centres in Kuwait with at least one year of experience. Data were analysed using SPSS 23 at a significance level of ≤ .05. Univariate (means, standard deviations, frequencies, percentages) and bivariate (chi-squared tests, student t-tests, ANOVA F-tests, Kruskal–Wallis tests, Spearman’s correlation) analyses provided an overview of participant socio-demographics and the association between patient safety culture composites and outcomes. We undertook a multivariate regression analysis to predict the determinants of patient safety culture. Results were benchmarked against similar local (Kuwait, 2014), regional (Yemen, 2015) and international (US, 2018) studies. Results The responses of 6602 employees from 94 centres were included in the study, with an overall response rate of 78.7%. The survey revealed Teamwork (87.8% positive ratings) and Organisational Learning (78.8%) as perceived areas of strength. Communication about Error (57.7%), Overall Perceptions of Patient Safety and Quality (57.4%), Communication Openness (54.4%), Owner/Managing Partner/Leadership Support for Patient Safety (53.8%) and Work Pressure and Pace (28.4%) were identified as areas requiring improvement. Benchmarking analysis revealed that Kuwait centres are performing at benchmark levels or better on four and six composites when compared to international and regional findings, respectively. Regression modelling highlighted significant predictions regarding patient safety outcomes and composites. Conclusions This is the first major study addressing the culture of patient safety in public Primary Health Care Centres regionally. Improving patient safety culture is critical for these centres to improve the quality and safety of the healthcare services they provide. The findings of this study can guide country-level strategies to develop the systems that govern patient safety practices.

Abstract Background Primary healthcare centers provide the first contact for patients and it goes without saying that quality and patient safety in these facilities are vital goals and challenges. In fact, it has been identified that a significant proportion of safety incidents caught in hospitals had originated in the earlier levels of care, and some studies have found that errors in primary care can result in severe consequences. Hence why, a developed Patient Safety Culture is a component key to improve patient safety and healthcare quality in these settings. Thus, this study aimed to assess patient safety culture in Tunisian primary healthcare centers and to explore its associated factors. Methods It is a cross-sectional descriptive multicenter study, conducted from January to April 2016 in all the 30 primary healthcare settings of the Tunisian center, partners of the Faculty of Medicine of Sousse. The measurement instrument used was the validated French version of the Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture Questionnaire. The data analysis was conducted using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS 20.0) and Epi info 6.04d for windows. Results A total of 214 professionals participated in the study, corresponding to a response rate of 85%. The “Teamwork within units” dimension had the highest score (71.5%). The lowest scores were for the dimensions related to “Frequency of events reported” and the “Non-punitive response to errors” (31.4% and 35.4% respectively). Additionally, the “Frequency of reported events” dimension was significantly higher among professionals involved in risk management committees (p = 0.01). Conclusions This study demonstrates that the level of patient safety culture needs to be improved in primary healthcare centers in Tunisia. Strategies to nurture patient safety culture should focus upon building leadership capacity that supports open communication, blame-free environment, teamwork and continuous organizational learning. Key messages Patient safety culture in primary healthcare settings is not as strong to ensure the provision of safe care. A well-designed patient safety initiatives, with organizational policies, must be integrated in order to enhance patient safety and quality of care.

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.
