ObjectivesThis study aimed to investigate staff’s perceptions of patient safety culture (PSC) in two Danish hospitals before and after an in situ simulation intervention.DesignA repeated cross-sectional intervention study.SettingTwo Danish hospitals. Hospital 1 performs emergency functions, whereas hospital 2 performs elective functions.ParticipantsA total of 967 healthcare professionals were invited to participate in this study. 516 were employed in hospital 1 and 451 in hospital 2. Of these, 39 were trained as simulation instructors.InterventionA 4-day simulation instructor course was applied. Emphasis was put on team training, communication and leadership. After the course, instructors performed simulation in the hospital environment. No systematic simulation was performed prior to the intervention.Main outcome measuresThe Safety Attitude Questionnaire investigating PSC was applied prior to the intervention and again 4 and 8 weeks after intervention. The proportion of participants with a positive attitude and mean scale scores were measured as main outcomes.ResultsThe response rate varied from 63.6% to 72.0% across surveys and hospitals. Baseline scores were generally lower for hospital 1. The proportion of staff with positive attitudes in hospital 1 improved by ≥5% in five of six safety culture dimensions, whereas only two dimensions improved by ≥5% in hospital 2. The mean scale scores improved significantly in five of six safety culture dimensions in hospital 1, while only one dimension improved significantly in hospital 2.ConclusionsSafety attitude outcomes indicate an improvement in PSC from before to after the in situ simulation intervention period. However, it is possible that an effect is more profound in an acute care hospital versus an elective setting.

Abstract OBJECTIVE Verify perceptions of the health team about patient safety culture in home care in a large city in Brazilian Midwest region. METHOD A survey study involving Safety Attitudes Questionnaire and professional profile inventory. Results: From the 37 professionals, most were female (n = 32, 86.5%), lived with their spouse (n = 25, 67.6%), worked in a statutory work regime (n = 29; 78.4%) and have only one job (n = 23; 62.2%). A higher median score for job satisfaction (80.0) and a lower score for management perception (31.8) were found. There was a negative correlation between weekly workload and teamwork (p = 0.02). Safety climate was significantly higher among consolidated (Consolidação das Leis do Trabalho - CLT) professionals in the safety climate (p = 0.001) and overall (p = 0.005) domains. Physicians had a higher perception of the safety climate domain when compared to professionals in other categories (p = 0.005). Age was positively associated to the climate in the safety (p = 0.002), working conditions (p = 0.03) and overall (p = 0.04) domains. CONCLUSION Teamwork and job satisfaction were scored as positive and management actions were considered the main weakness of the safety culture.

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.
