“…These variables significantly explained up to 41.9% of the variability in the degree of patient safety. Authors of national and international studies support our results (Kalánková et al, 2021;Kirwan et al, 2013;Sováriová Soósová et al, 2017). As negative predictors of the degree of patient safety they reported: the number of reported adverse events per year, the number of weekly hours worked, and longer work experience in the given department.…”

“…In contrast, the dimensions that were the worst rated were staffing, Openness of communication, handoffs and transitions, and nonpunitive response to errors. Staffing was the worst rated dimension in several studies (Gurková et al, 2020a;Kalánková et al, 2021;Sováriová Soósová et al, 2017), confirming that staffing is one of the biggest challenges for nurses in providing quality nursing care while ensuring patient safety. Gurková et al (2020a) state that the problem of understaffing in the sociocultural context brings more nursing assistants, which is only a temporary solution to the situation.…”

“…We confirmed negative statistical relationships between the number of hours worked and the following dimensions of the hospital's patient safety culture: organizational learning and continuous improvement, staffing and nonpunitive response to errors. In the study of Kalánková et al (2021), the number of hours worked (overtime) was listed among the significant predictors of the lower rated dimensions: organizational learning and continuous improvement, feedback, Openness in communication, and staffing. In our study, we also confirmed negative statistically significant relationships in terms of the number of reported adverse events over the last year and the dimensions of the hospital's patient safety culture: overall perception of patient safety; teamwork within units; openness in communication; and nonpunitive response to errors.…”

Introduction: Patient safety is one of the most serious and currently very relevant global health problems. In addition to indicators of quality of nursing care, it is important to consider safety culture as one of the factors in the effort to ensure patient safety. Aim: To assess nurses' perception of hospital patient safety culture. Methods: Empirical data was collected using the Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture (HSOPSC). The research sample consisted of 196 nurses working in six Slovak hospitals. The relationships between variables were tested by Spearman's rho. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to determine predictors of the degree of patient safety.Results: The highest number of positive responses was observed in the department's teamwork domain (63.1%), feedback and communication (61.2%), education and continuous improvement (55.3%). A significant negative predictor of the perception of patient safety was the higher number of adverse events reported in the last year (-0.226; 0.002), and the higher number of hours worked per week (-0.215; 0.002). Significant positive predictors of the degree of patient safety were the following hospital culture of patient safety dimensions: teamwork within units (0.165; 0.048), management support for patient safety (0.172; 0.045), and handoffs and transitions (0.172; 0.049). Conclusions: The level of patient safety culture underlines the quality and safety of care provided by health care providers. The Patient Safety Culture Assessment serves to identify areas for improvement, as well as to raise safety awareness among professionals. Our study can therefore be considered partial and can form a starting point for the further implementation of quantitative and qualitative research on a larger sample of respondents.

“…12 The results of the HSOPSC psychometric test in Slovakia show the validity and can be accepted as an instrument for testing patient safety in health services. 13 This study aimed to find the presentation of positive response results from various countries and analyze the average of those positive responses. The use of HSOPSC 12 dimension measurements is recommended for every researcher who wants to measure the positive aspects of implementing a patient safety culture by every healthcare worker (HCw) in the hospital.…”

According to the World health Organization (WHO) there are more than 134 million side effects that occur in process treatment of health care, because of the unsafe treatments , there are 2,6 million people dead. This study aims to analyse the patient safety culture of seven countries as well as Ethiopia, United States, Philippines, Indonesia, Ghana, Iran, and Republic of China. This study uses the literature study method. The researcher focuses on positive responses based on the results of HSOPSC of those countries. The result of study found that there were 37,74% of the lowest responses in Staffing dimension and the highest responses were around 75.95% in teamwork within unit. The conclusion of the study found that the patient safety culture were around 53,18% of all dimensions, the lowest dimension was in staffing management, non-punitive response to errors, and frequency of events reported.

Introduction: Patient safety culture is described as employees’ shared values, attitudes, and behaviours in a healthcare organization. Its main goal is to improve patient safety. Assessment of patient safety culture in the hospital environment is most often carried out using self-assessment tools. Although several of these tools have been developed, their comprehensive overview is lacking in literature. Aim: To provide an overview of instruments measuring patient safety culture in a hospital setting. Methods: The study has a character of a narrative literature review. The search was performed in the scientific databases Scopus, ProQuest, and PubMed in January 2021. The search produced a total of 1,767 studies and was limited to language (English). The search and the retrieval process reflected PRISMA’s recommendations. The content analysis method was used in the data synthesis. Results: We identified 24 tools for assessing the patient safety culture in a hospital setting, of which seven were developed for specific workplaces; others are considered general. Eighteen tools might be utilized by all healthcare professionals within the hospital setting and only three were designated explicitly for nurses. The most commonly used instruments were the Hospital Survey on Patient Culture and the Safety Attitudes Questionnaire. Conclusion: Assessing a patient safety culture is considered one of the strategies for improving patient safety while increasing care quality. An appropriate tool’s choice depends on the target population, the instrument’s validity and reliability, and other aspects. Awareness of the various assessment tools can help hospitals choose the one that best suits their circumstances.
