Background: In the healthcare sector, a comprehensive safety culture includes both patient care-related and occupational aspects. In recent years, healthcare studies have demonstrated diverse relationships between aspects of psychosocial working conditions, occupational, and patient safety culture. The aim of this study was to consider and test relevant predictors for staff’s perceptions of occupational and patient safety cultures in hospitals and whether there are shared predictors. From two German university hospitals, 381 physicians and 567 nurses completed a questionnaire on psychosocial working conditions, occupational, and patient safety culture. Two regression models with predictors for occupational and patient safety culture were conceptually developed and empirically tested. In the Occupational Safety Culture model, job satisfaction (β = 0.26, p ≤ 0.001), work‒privacy conflict (β = −0.19, p ≤ 0.001), and patient-related burnout (β = −0.20, p ≤ 0.001) were identified as central predictors. Important predictors in the Patient Safety Culture model were management support for patient safety (β = 0.24, p ≤ 0.001), supervisor support for patient safety (β = 0.18, p ≤ 0.001), and staffing (β = 0.21, p ≤ 0.001). The two models mainly resulted in different predictors. However, job satisfaction and leadership seem to play an important role in both models and can be used in the development of a comprehensive management of occupational and patient safety culture.

Promoting patient safety culture (PSC) is a critical issue for healthcare providers. Quality control circles program (QCCP) can be used as an effective tool to foster long-lasting improvements on the quality of medical institution. The effect of QCCP on PSC is still unknown. This was a retrospective study conducted with matching data. A safety attitudes questionnaire (SAQ) was used for the evaluation of PSC. The association between all scores of six subscales of SAQ and the participation QCCP were analyzed with both the Mann–Whitney and Kruskal–Wallis tests. A total of 2718 valid questionnaires were collected. Most participants of QCCP were females (78.9%), nurses (52.6%), non-supervisors (92.2%), aged <40 years old (64.8%), degree of specialist or university graduates (78%), and with work experience of <10 years (61.6%). Of all participants, the highest scores were in the dimension of safety climate (74.11 ± 17.91) and the lowest scores in the dimension of working conditions (68.90 ± 18.84). The participation of QCCP was associated with higher scores in four dimensions, namely: teamwork climate (p = 0.006), safety climate (p = 0.037), perception of management (p = 0.009), and working conditions (p = 0.015). The participation or not of QCCP had similar results in the dimension of job satisfaction and stress recognition. QCCP was associated with SAQ in subjects with the following characteristics: female, nurse, non-supervisor, aged >50 years old, higher education degrees and with longer working experiences in the hospital. In this first study on the association between each dimension of SAQ and the implementation of QCCP, we found that QCCP interventions were associated with better PSC. QCCP had no benefits in the dimensions of job satisfaction and stress recognition.

Relationship Analysis

This study uses the decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory method to identify critical dimensions of the safety attitudes questionnaire in Taiwan in order to improve the patient safety culture from experts’ viewpoints. Teamwork climate, stress recognition, and perceptions of management are three causal dimensions, while safety climate, job satisfaction, and working conditions are receiving dimensions. In practice, improvements on effect-based dimensions might receive little effects when a great amount of efforts have been invested. In contrast, improving a causal dimension not only improves itself but also results in better performance of other dimension(s) directly affected by this particular dimension. Teamwork climate and perceptions of management are found to be the most critical dimensions because they are both causal dimensions and have significant influences on four dimensions apiece. It is worth to note that job satisfaction is the only dimension affected by the other dimensions. In order to effectively enhance the patient safety culture for healthcare organizations, teamwork climate, and perceptions of management should be closely monitored.

Abstract Introduction Patient safety, such as inpatient falls, is a global problem, accounting for increasing compensation costs from our healthcare facilities. The aim of this study was to evaluate the patient safety culture among healthcare providers. Method An online survey was developed within the hospital staff portal at the University of Malaya Medical Centre, with a dialogue box appearing on the launching of the portal website inviting the members of staff to participate in the survey. The survey contained a safety assessment questionnaire (SAQ) which measures the patient safety culture. The SAQ consists of 36 items measuring the six domains: teamwork climate, job satisfaction, safety climate, stress recognition, working conditions, and perception of management. Each domain is assigned a percentage score, and comparisons of scores according to healthcare disciplines were then made. Results 5275 (80%) responded to the online SAQ which was sent out to all 6562 healthcare professionals employed, by the hospital. The teamwork and safety climate was poor among supporting staff, with scores of 56.7 and 59.8 respectively. Job satisfaction (62.9), perception of ward management (56.8), and hospital management (53.2), and working conditions (44.7) were less among the clinicians. Stress recognition (36.5) was in alarmingly low among the nurses. Conclusion A comprehensive unit-based safety programme will be conducted in response to the SAQ findings, and should incorporate objective falls the outcome in order to convince the hospital hierarchy of the need for urgent solutions to lower the rates of inpatient falls.

Background: Patient safety represents a global issue which leads to potentially avoidable morbidity and mortality. This study aimed to determine the inter-professional differences in patient safety culture in a tertiary university hospital. Method: A cross-sectional study using the Safety Attitude Questionnaire (SAQ) self-administered electronically in the English and Malay languages to evaluate safety culture domains. A positive percentage agreement score of 60% was considered satisfactory. Comparisons were made between clinicians, nurses, allied health professionals, ward attendants and support staff. Results: Of 6562 potential respondents, 5724 (80.4%) completed the questionnaire; 3930 (74.5%) women, 2263 (42.9%) nurses, and 1812 (34.2%) had 6-10 years of working experience. The mean overall positive percentage agreement scores were 66.2 (range=31.1 to 84.7%), with job satisfaction (72.3±21.9%) and stress recognition (58.3±25.6%) representing the highest and lowest mean domain scores respectively. Discussion: Differences were observed between all five job categories. Linear regression analyses revealed that the other four job categories scored lower in teamwork, safety culture, job satisfaction, and working conditions compared to nurses. Conclusions: The overall mean SAQ score was above the satisfactory level, with unsatisfactory percentage agreement scores in the stress recognition domain. Interventions to improve patient safety culture should be developed, focusing on stress management.

ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate nursing professionals’ perception on safety climate, to check if this perception differs between categories and if there is correlation between the Safety Attitude Questionaire (SAQ) domains and personal and professional variables. Method: Quantitative and transversal study held in a teaching hospital in the countryside of São Paulo, in Brazil. Data collection occurred in the period from April to July 2014, with the application of the SAQ. Results: 259 professionals participated in the study. The domain job satisfaction obtained scores above 75 for both categories. The perception of safety climate differed between the categories for most areas, except for the recognition of stress, and there is correlation between five SAQ domains and the variables time of experience and intention to leave the profession. Conclusion: Knowing the professionals’ perception on safety climate will contribute to a secure assistance.
