“…In the present study, “Organizational learning” dimension, the scores of emergency nurses working at the public hospital were significantly higher than those employed at the private hospital. The findings of this research were in line with the studies carried out by Karimi, Yaghoubi, Rahi, and Bahadori () in Isfahan and Tapan, Gayef, and Kaptanoğlu () in Turkey, and in contrast to Arrieta, Suárez, and Hakim () in Peru. An earlier Iranian study indicated that the organizational learning capacity of public hospitals was higher than private and social security hospitals (Farzianpour, Irani, & Foroushani, ), while, in other Iranian studies (Abbasi, Eydi, & Matin, ; Aghdasi & Befruei, ), the level of organizational learning capability in private hospitals was more in comparison with governmental hospitals.…”

Aim To appraise patient safety culture in emergency departments of Iranian public and private hospitals. Design A comparative cross‐sectional survey design was used. Methods This cross‐sectional study was conducted from January–March 2019. For data collection, the Hospital Patient Safety Culture (HSOPSC) questionnaire was employed. The study sample comprised 256 participants. Independent t test and analysis of variance were performed to report the mean differences in total patient safety culture perception according to the participants' characteristics and according to hospital ownership. Results There was no significant difference in overall perceptions of patient safety culture in public and private sectors (2.94 vs. 2.84, p > .05). There are no solid areas regarding patient safety found neither in public nor in private sectors. Out of 12 dimensions of patient safety culture, different perceptions of nurses working in public and private hospitals belonged to “Organizational learning” (t = 2.13, p = .034) and “Handoffs and transitions” (t = 2.91, p = .004). Regarding the participants' characteristics, no significant difference was observed as to the perspectives of nurses on patient safety culture. However, there was a meaningful difference in the attitudes of nurses working in public hospitals according to their employment status (t = 2.07, p = .039).

“…WI could result in poor work performance, causing errors in different nursing fields (Logan, 2016). Arrieta, Suárez, and Hakim (2017) believe that patient safety is the deterrence of patient injuries while rendering care. Patient safety is the prevention of any harm, errors, and adverse effects to patients in healthcare settings (Mitchell, 2008).…”

Purpose This study assessed clinical nurses’ workplace incivility experiences and determined the effects of workplace incivility experiences on nurses’ patient safety competence. Design This quantitative study surveyed 261 clinical nurses in two acute healthcare facilities in Saudi Arabia from June to August 2019. Methods A self‐administered survey, including the Nurse Incivility Scale and the Health Professional Education in Patient Safety Survey, was employed to assess the variables workplace incivility and patient safety competence. The association between incivility and patient safety competence was analysed using multivariate multiple regression. Results The highest mean score was recorded for patient or visitor incivility, whereas the lowest score was recorded for supervisor incivility. Regarding patient safety competence, the dimension “communicating effectively” received the highest mean score, whereas “working in teams with other health professionals” was rated lowest. General and nurse incivilities had multivariate effects on the six dimensions of patient safety competence. Conclusions Nurses’ experiences of uncivil acts from nurses and from general incivility negatively impact nurses’ patient safety competence. Clinical Relevance This investigation could guide the establishment of policies centered on boosting the patient safety competence of nurses by addressing uncivil acts in healthcare settings.
