Objective: to assess the correlations between the patient safety culture, the missed Nursing care, and the reasons for the omission in the obstetric area. Method: a cross-sectional study, conducted in 2019, with 62 Nursing professionals working in the obstetric area of a teaching hospital in southern Brazil. The MISSCARE-Brasil and Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture instruments were used. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, means comparison test and Spearman correlation. Results: the overall mean of positive answers for the safety culture was 34.9 (± 17.4). The care of assessing the vital signs and monitoring capillary blood glucose were the most prioritized, with airway aspiration and oral hygiene being the most overlooked. The main reasons for the omissions refer to labor resources and to inadequate staffing. A significant and inversely proportional correlation was found between the patient safety culture and overlooked nursing care (r=-0.393). Conclusion: the safety culture of the obstetric area was assessed as fragile by the Nursing professionals. The more the safety culture is strengthened and the greater investment in labor and human resources, the less care is overlooked.

Background: Patient safety has been a concern over the past two decades. The value of nurses and their work environment in relation to patient safety has been acknowledged by studies and international organizations. This study aimed to examine the relationship between patient safety practices and the nursing work environment. Methods: In total, 570 registered nurses were invited from the inpatient units in public and private hospitals. Perceived patient safety was evaluated using the Overall Perceptions of Patient Safety subscale from the Hospital Survey of Patient Safety Culture (HSPSC). The nursing work environment was assessed using the Practice Environment Scale of the Nursing Work Index (PES-NWI). Findings: Of the 350 of 570 (64.6%) nurses surveyed, 35.2% (125) reported positive levels of perceived patient safety. Staffing and resource adequacy, professional communication style, and nurses’ participation in hospital quality improvement activities were associated with higher levels of perceived patient safety. Conclusion/Application to Practice: This study provided empirical results about perceived patient safety culture in relation to nursing work environment. It is paramount to focus on specific dimensions of the nursing work environment, such as staffing and resource adequacy, nurses’ participation and advancement, and communication style to improve the quality of care provided to patients. Hospitals are considered one of the most hazardous places compared with industries. Policy makers would help reduce injuries, save resources, and build a culture of safety when taking into consideration the importance of the nursing work environment in relation to patient safety.

Many changes have been made in the healthcare practice environment. Understanding of quality practice environment in hemodialysis units has certain implications for maximizing outcomes for clients, nurses, and systems. Developing quality practice environments takes time and commitment to promote and support patients’ safety. Hence improving safety patient culture is vital in dialysis units because it requires for reducing risks for harm, errors of patients and delivering high quality of patients care. The Study aimed to determine the perception of nursing staff’ toward quality practice environment and patients’ safety at Hemodialysis units. Methodology, data collection was utilized a descriptive correlational design for this study, all nursing staff amounted to (n= 90) They are classified into: all head nurses n = 7,, and all nurses who have either diploma (n = 40) or baccalaureate degree (n = 43) who are affiliated to all hemodialysis units (n =7) at Ministry of Health ,Egypt. A package composed of two instruments was used, namely: Environment Scale-Nursing Work Index (PES-NWI) and Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture (HSPSC). Results, the major findings indicated that there is a positive correlation significant among practice work environment and patient safety culture except for staffing and resource adequacy in all hemodialysis units of Ministry of Health Hospitals. Also, results point out that the organizational structure of the Ministry of Health Hospitals is characterized by unhealthy environment and unsafe climate that force the nursing staff to have low perception toward most of quality practice environment and patient safety culture factors. The study recommended that initiating a blame-free reporting system to prevent re-occurrence of problems and actions to eliminate them from the workplace by detecting, evaluating, preventing and treating safety work environment

Predictive Design

A study was conducted to explore whether fatigue, workload, burnout and the work environment can predict the perceptions of patient safety among critical care nurses in Oman. A cross-sectional predictive design was used. A sample of 270 critical care nurses from the two main hospitals in the country's capital participated, with a response rate of 90%. The negative correlation between fatigue and patient safety culture (r= -0.240) indicates that fatigue has a detrimental effect on nurses' perceptions of safety. There was also a significant relationship between work environment, emotional exhaustion, depersonalisation, personal accomplishment and organisational patient safety culture. Regression analysis showed that fatigue, work environment, emotional exhaustion, depersonalisation and personal accomplishment were predictors for overall patient safety among critical care nurses (R2=0.322, F=6.117, P<0.0001). Working to correct these predictors and identifying other factors that affect the patient safety culture are important for improving and upgrading the patient safety culture in Omani hospitals.
