Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore the relationship between organizational learning and patient safety culture in hospital pharmacy settings as determined by the learning organization survey short-form (LOS-27) and pharmacy survey on patient safety culture instruments, and to further explore how dimensions of organizational learning relate to dimensions of pharmacy patient safety culture. Design/methodology/approach This study is a cross-sectional study. Data were obtained from three public hospital pharmacies and three private hospital pharmacies in Kuwait. Partial least square structural equation modeling was used to analyze the data. Findings A total of 272 surveys (59.1 percent response rate) were completed and returned. The results indicated a significant positive relationship between organizational learning and patient safety culture in hospital pharmacy settings (path coefficient of 0.826, p-value <0.05 and R2 of 0.683). Several dimensions of the organizational learning showed significant links to the various dimensions of the pharmacy patient safety culture. Specifically, training (TRN), management that reinforces learning (MRL) and supportive learning environment (SLE) had the strongest effects on the pharmacy patient safety culture dimensions. Moreover, these effects indicated that MRL, SLE and TRN were associated with improvements in most dimensions of pharmacy patient safety culture. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first attempt to assess the relationship between organizational learning, patient safety culture and their dimensions in hospital pharmacy settings.

PurposeRisk identification plays a key role identifying patient safety risks. As previous research on risk identification practices, as applied to patient safety, and its association with safety culture is limited, the purpose of this paper is to evaluate current practice to address gaps and potential room for improvement.Design/methodology/approachThe authors carry out interview-based questionnaires in one UK hospital to investigate real-world risk identification practices with eight healthcare staff, including managers, nurses and a medical consultant. Considering various aspects from both risk identification and safety culture practices, the authors investigate how these two are interrelated.FindingsThe interview-based questionnaires were helpful for evaluating current risk identification practices. While gaining significant insights into risk identification practices, such as experiences using current tools and methods, mainly retrospective ones, results also explicitly showed its link with the safety culture and highlighted the limitation in measuring the relationship.Originality/valueThe interviews addressed valuable challenges affecting success in the risk identification process, including limitations in safety culture practice, training, balancing financial and safety concerns, and integrating risk information from different tools and methods.

Background: Fostering the understanding of the relationship between the prevalence of adverse events (AEP), the patient safety culture of healthcare professionals (PSC) and patient safety perception (PSP) could be an important step to operationalizing patient safety through an integration of different perspectives. Objective: To assess the relationship between AE Prevalence, Patient Safety Culture and Patient Safety Perception. Method: Cross-sectional, ex post facto comparative study on a single sample of patients. The prevalence and severity of adverse events were measured through a review of medical records (using the Modular Review Form (MRF2). Healthcare professional patient safety culture was determined using the Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture (HSOPSC) and patient perception of safety through the Hospital Care Safety Perceptions Questionnaire (HCSPQ). Correlation tests were used to compare the three dimensions. Population: 556 medical records and patients were studied for the prevalence and patient safety perception study, and 397 of the healthcare providers involved in the care of these patients were surveyed for the patient safety culture study, at 2 public and 2 private hospitals. Results: An inverse association was observed between AE prevalence and its severity and Patient Safety Culture Index (rho=-0.8) and Patient Safety Perception Index (rho=-0.6). No association was identified between Patient Safety Culture and Patient Safety Perception (rho=0.0001). No statistical differences were identified by hospital type. Conclusions: The joint analysis of AEP, PSC and PSP, in the same sample, offers an interesting and useful perspective on the associations between the variables studied; no correlation pattern was observed between the variables.

The quality of health services is the main focus in health service facilities, especially hospitals. A patient safety culture can improve quality and patient safety. Nurse clinical leadership was identified as one of the supporting factors for the successful application of a patient safety culture. This study aims to analyze the relationship between clinical leadership of nurses and the application of a patient safety culture at Nurul Hasanah Hospital. This type of research is descriptive correlational analytic with cross sectional approach.The population in this study were all nurses at Nurul Hasanah Hospital with a total sampling technique of 62 nurses. The results showed that most of the respondents with good clinical leadership (53.2%), most of the application of a good patient safety culture (66.1%) and there was a significant relationship between the clinical leadership of nurses and the application of a patient safety culture (p-value = 0.043). So it can be concluded that the application of a good patient safety culture can be realized by the optimal clinical leadership abilities of nurses. Therefore, the support of the hospital managerial is very important to support the clinical leadership competence of nurses in realizing the achievement of a patient safety culture through both formal and non-formal education.
