Purpose: This study aimed to examine the differences in scores of the Attitude to Patient Safety Questionnaire (APSQ) by medical students before and after the outbreak of COVID-19.Methods: In total, 97 and 118 medical students completed patient safety courses at Yonsei University Wonju College of Medicine in 2019 and 2020, respectively. In 2019, the course was conducted using traditional learning in the classroom, whereas, in 2020, most of the classes were conducted using non-face-to-face learning methods.Results: In 2019 and 2020, 49 and 53 students responded to the APSQ. Only one item “Patients are not really aware of how safe their care is” had a lower score in 2020 than in 2019.Conclusion: Although the total APSQ score did not differ between 2019 and 2020, the students in 2020 might have a poor understanding of the role of patients in medical errors.

ObjectivesTo introduce surgical safety checklists and time outs to future physicians through early incorporation of time outs in the first year gross anatomy course.SettingThe Wayne State University School of Medicine Anatomy Lab.ParticipantsApproximately 300 first year medical students per year participated in the intervention.InterventionsAn educational presentation on medical errors focusing on surgical errors was developed. Students in 2017–2018 viewed the presentation and completed two time outs, one with the first anatomy dissection and a second with the last dissection. Preintervention and postintervention surveys were completed and results compared. Students completed a second postintervention survey after the second time out. Students in 2018–2019 were asked to complete the time outs before every dissection. Time out procedure sheets were collected to determine completion rates. The intervention was further modified for academic year 2019–2020 and time out sheets were again collected.Outcome measuresFour domains of learning were surveyed: (1) major components and goals/limitations of universal protocol, (2) medical error lexicon, (3) components of a time out, and (4) confidence in completing time out checklists.ResultsPostintervention surveys demonstrated significant improvement in each domain. Students found time outs easy to complete and developed confidence in performing time outs. Following a successful pilot, time outs were incorporated into every dissection. Students continued to perform this procedure despite absence of adverse consequences for not doing so.ConclusionStudents found the time outs easy to complete and developed the confidence and ability to perform a surgical time out early in their medical education. The new skills, knowledge and attitudes that these medical students have developed will hopefully improve the care they provide to patients, thereby advancing the practice of quality improvement and patient safety in the clinical setting.

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.

Safety Attitude

In Indonesia, the incidence of medical error is quite high as evidenced by the existence of hospital incident reports, where in 2010 there were 75% of unexpected events and in 2011 as many as 60% of cases of surgical cases or patients with surgery. Medical error is one of the unwanted events, which occurred in various countries. Therefore it begins to develop a patient safety system. In order to carry out these functions, hospital should be able to carry out management based on customer oriented and patient safety by implementing a safety attitude culture. The purpose of this study was to determine the safety attitude culture evaluation of nurses in surgery rooms of PKU Muhammadiyah Gamping. This research was a research using a mixed methods research approach; namely a quantitative method with a descriptive approach and qualitative methods with a case study approach. The population in this study was nurses in surgery room with a total sampling technique of 20 people. The questionnaire in this study referred to the Surgery room Version of Safety Attitudes Questionnaire. Quantitative data analysis used descriptive analysis; while qualitative analysis was performed by data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions/verification. The results shows that overall evaluation of safety culture attitude of nurses in the surgery room summed up in the high category (75,0 %). Meanwhile based on the safety attitude culture component, namely safety climate is in the high category (85,0%), team working climate is in the high category (90,0%), stress recognition is in the high category (65,0%), management perceptions is in the moderate category ( 75,0%), working conditions is in the high category (60,0%), job satisfaction is in the high category (90,0%).
