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.

BACKGROUND: The prerequisite for promoting safety culture is to assess the existing safety culture level of institutes, because safety precautions without appropriate evaluation increase costs and unforeseen risks. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to systematically review the status of patient safety culture from the perspective of clinical personnel at Iranian hospitals through a meta-analysis of studies using the Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture (HSOPSC) questionnaire. METHODS: The present systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted in 2018. Data were gathered by searching Google Scholar, Scopus, PubMed, and Web of Science databases up to November 2018. Search keywords were “patient”, “safety”, “culture”, “healthcare”, “hospital”, “medical center”, “HSOPSC tool”, and “Iran”. The search protocol was limited to 10 years. To estimate the PSC score, computer software CMA:2 (Comprehensive Meta-Analysis) was used. The presence of heterogeneity across the studies was assessed with the I2 statistic. A forest plot was used to report the results. Publication bias was assessed through a funnel plot. RESULTS: The meta-analysis of studies showed that the PSC score based on the random effect model was 52.7% (95% CI: 50.2%–55.2%), (Q = 522.3, df = 54, P < 0.05, I2 = 89.6). A mean of 12 dimensions of HSOPSC showed that the “Teamwork within units” dimension had the highest PSC score (67.2%) and “Non-punitive response to error” had the lowest score (40.4%). CONCLUSIONS: Managers and policymakers should be directed towards non-punitive responses to errors and persuade staff to report errors and execute the approach to learn from mistakes. Also, a periodic government evaluation of the patient safety culture will help further its sustainable development.

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
