Patient safety is a fundamental concept in providing health services and it is critical that health care facilities consider it. Negligence in the application of patient safety will lead to patient safety incidents. The individual factors of medical staff have a significant influence on the implementation of patient safety. The attitude of medical staff can affect the culture of patient safety because being unprofessional will cause problems in providing quality care, encourage bad events and medical errors, and ultimately reduce patient satisfaction. Organizational support also has a role in the attitude and behavior of medical staff. There are already policies in the form of regulations from the Minister of Health, standard operating procedures, and training for medical staff. However, there are still many patient safety incidents that occurred. There is also medical staff who are not aware of the importance of reporting so that patient safety incidents are not recorded. The study was conducted in 12 Primary Health Care (PHC) in Kuningan Regency. The research method used is quantitative analysis with a cross-sectional design using a questionnaire. The research data was taken using proportional stratified random sampling to 200 medical staff in 12 PHC in Kuningan Regency. The questionnaire consists of 3 parts regarding professionalism, patient safety culture, and organizational support. The results showed that professionalism had a positive and significant impact on patient safety culture (p-value <0.001), and Organizational support is a quasi-moderating variable on the effect of professionalism on patient safety culture (p-value <0.001).

<p>Patient safety culture (PSC) has been considered less than its significance within high risk health care facilities so far. The aim of this study was to firstly compare PSC among psychiatric, general, and critical/intensive care systems then, focus on common weaknesses between Middle East countries. The study design was cross-sectional which was executed by using of a two stage sampling frame. Researchers had 298 questionnaire completed (RR=62%) among three groups comprising nurses, nurse’s aides, and laboratory personnel. The Farsi version of Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture (HSOPSC) questionnaire was employed in this study. Descriptive statistics, and One Way ANOVA were used aiming to analyze collected data by using of SPSS 20. The highest percent of composite mean scores in Specialized, Psychiatric, and Generals were 61.49%, 56.67%, and 55.69% respectively. Common weakest dimensions of PSC among the three groups of hospitals included: Non-punitive response to error (24.3%), Staffing (32.18%), and Communication openness (42.44%). There were no significant differences among means and variences of the three groups of hospitals. It can be concluded that health care systems may have no differences in PSC correspond to disparities in amount of risk and job pressure. An implication of this study is the possibility that PSC is mostly local, although some weaknesses between our study and Middle East seemed to be symmetrical.</p>

Patient safety is understood as reducing to the minimum acceptable risks of damage associated with health care. This depends on a safety culture formed from a qualified and safe service, involving all hospital professionals, and constant monitoring of the determining factors for quality health care. The general objective of the study was to evaluate the culture of patient safety in the hemodynamics sector in a private hospital in São Luís. This is a cross-sectional, descriptive, quantitative study conducted in the hemodynamic sector of the cardiology center of Hospital São Domingos, through the HSOPSC – Hospital Survey on Patiente Safety Culture questionnaire divided into 12 dimensions, the perception of each of them is described by the percentage of positive responses. Participants were 69 professionals, of which 47 (68%) were women, 16 (23%) were nurses, 30 (43%) worked in the hospital between 1 and 5 years, 33 (48%) with weekly workload between 20 and 39 hours. Regarding the dimensions evaluated the “Expectations on the supervisor/boss” (79%); “Organizational learning / continued improvement” (90%); “Teamwork within the unit” with (78%) and “hospital management support” (91%) considered strong. In addition, 52 (68%) participants reported not having submitted or completed any adverse event reports in the last 12 months. Therefore, the patient safety culture of the sector has potential for improvement in almost all dimensions evaluated.

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 OBJECTIVE To identify the perceptions of leaderships toward patient safety culture dimensions in the routine of hospitals with different administrative profiles: government, social and private organizations, and make correlations among participating institutions regarding dimensions of patient safety culture used. METHOD A quantitative cross-sectional study that used the Self Assessment Questionnaire 30 translated into Portuguese. The data were processed by analysis of variance (ANOVA) in addition to descriptive statistics, with statistical significance set at p-value ≤ 0.05. RESULTS According to the participants' perceptions, the significant dimensions of patient safety culture were 'patient safety climate' and 'organizational learning', with 81% explanatory power. Mean scores showed that among private organizations, higher values were attributed to statements; however, the correlation between dimensions was stronger among government hospitals. CONCLUSION Different hospital organizations present distinct values for each dimension of patient safety culture and their investigation enables professionals to identify which dimensions need to be introduced or improved to increase patient safety.

Abstract Healthcare workers have high rates of injuries and illnesses at the workplace, and both their absence from work due to illness (absenteeism) or working ill (presenteeism) can compromise patient safety and the quality of health care delivered. Following this premise, we wanted to determine whether presenteeism and absenteeism were associated with patient safety culture (PSC) and in what way. Our sample consisted of 595 Croatian healthcare workers (150 physicians and 445 nurses) who answered the short-form WHO Health and Work Performance Questionnaire and the Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture. The results have confirmed the association with both presenteeism and absenteeism in several PSC dimensions, but not as we expected based on the premise from which we started. Opposite to our expectations, lower job performance (as a measure of presenteeism) was associated with higher PSC instead of lower PSC. Absenteeism, in turn, was associated with lower PSC, just as we expected. These findings suggest that it is the PSC that shapes presenteeist and absenteeist behaviour and not the other way around. High PSC leads to presenteeism, and low PSC to absenteeism. We also believe that the presenteeism questionnaires should be adjusted to health care and better define what lower performance means both quantitatively and qualitatively in a hospital setting

A poor patient safety culture will have an impact on increasing the incident rate  or the risk of an incident. The patient safety culture is an important matter that needs to be considered by the hospital. The objectives of this research are finding out the relationship among nurse motivation, role of head nurse, and patient safety culture. This was a descriptive correlational study with cross sectional approach. The number of samples was 49 nurses. This study used chi-square  test. Data were gathered by means of questionnaires about nurse motivation, role of head nurse, and patient safety culture. Results of this research describe 25 respondents (51%) had good motivation, 27 respondents (55.1%) had good role of head nurse, and 26 respondents (66.7) had good patient safety culture. The results showed that there was a relationship between nurse motivation and patient safety culture whith p value of 0.003 (p value < α 0,05) and there was a relationship between role of head nurse and patient safety culture with p value of 0.003 (p value < α 0,05). There was a relationship between nurse motivation and patient safety culture and there was a relationship between role of head nurse and patient safety culture. Nurse’s motivation needs to be improved so that the quality of health workers is better and the efforts of the head nurse in carrying out his/her role in his/her unit need to be made more affective to optimize the patient safety culture.
