“…When it comes to supervision, most of the participants strongly agreed that their supervisors/ clinical leaders considered suggestions and quickly addressed the patient safety concerns for improving the patient safety, instead of adopting any shortcuts in the busy hours. Similar findings were observed in a study conducted in the TantaUniversity Hospitals, Egypt 8 . The study found that a non-punitive work environment is essential to facilitate patient safety culture change.…”

Introduction: Patient safety emphasizes reporting, analysis and prevention of medical errors that often lead to adverse health events.Aim: To observe the Patient Safety Culture among the Health-care Providers in a selected area of a tertiary care centre. Methodology:A cross-sectional study was conducted in a specific area of a tertiary care hospital from January 2020 to March 2020 to study the Patient Safety Culture among the Healthcare Providers. Data was collected by using a stratified random sampling method using a validated questionnaire. Written informed consent was taken from all the participants. Data wasanalyzedby using the Statistical Package of Social Sciences (SPSS), Version-22.Results: 102(50.5%) of the respondents belonged to the medical/surgical units, followed by 79(39.1%) other patient care units, 13(6.4%) from administration/management, rest belonged to miscellaneous groups/ support services. 146(72.35%) of the participants strongly agreed that they worked together as an effective team. 131(64.9%) participants strongly agreed that their supervisors/clinical leaders consider improving patient safety. 93(46%) participants responded that they were always informed about errors in their unit, and 94(46.5%) responded that when errors happened in their unit, they often discussed the ways to prevent them from happening again. As far as staff position in the hospital was concerned, the excellent rating was given by others (83.3%) followed by Medical staff (73.7%). The study revealed a statistically significant (p-value <0.05) relationship between the position/primary unit in the hospital with respect to patient safety. Conclusion-The study findings suggest that there is correlation between the position/primary unit in the hospital and perception about patient safety.

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of application of team strategies and tools to enhance performance and patient safety at primary healthcare units on patients' safety and outcomes. Team Strategies and Tools to Enhance Performance and Patient Safety (Team STEPPS) are specially intended to enhance patient safety through effective communication and teamwork skills. To examine, a quasi‐experimental (pre–posttest) design was utilized. Six primary healthcare centers in Egypt were selected. The subjects included composed of two groups: (1) All‐available healthcare providers (114) and (2) convenience sample of 108 clients. Four questionnaires were used, namely; the Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture (HSPSC), Perception of Teamwork Questionnaire, the Short Assessment of Patient Satisfaction Scale, and Patient's Adverse Events Questionnaire. Results showed that there was a highly significant decrease in the level of weakness and the need for potential improvement of all 11 domains of the HSPSC survey except the staffing domain (p < 0.001). The teamwork perceptions scores showed significant improvement post intervention (p < 0.001). In addition, a highly significant decrease in the frequency of patient‐reported adverse events compared to a significant increase in patient satisfaction level was proved (p < 0.001). It may, hence, be concluded that Team STEPPS implementation had improved patient safety culture among healthcare providers and significantly improved patient outcomes.

Background The existence of patient safety culture is crucial for healthcare providers’ retention, particularly for nurses. Patient safety culture is getting more attention from healthcare organizations worldwide, and Jordan is no exception. Nurses’ satisfaction and retention are paramount to providing safe, high-quality patient care. Purpose To investigate the relationship between patient safety culture and intent to leave among Jordanian nurses. Methods A descriptive cross-sectional design was used. A sample of 220 nurses was selected through convenience sampling from one governmental and one private hospital in Amman. The patient safety culture survey and anticipated turnover scale were used to collect data. Descriptive statistics and Pearson r correlation were used to answer the research questions. Results The findings showed that nurses had 49.2% positive scores for patient safety. Teamwork (65.3%) and handoff and exchange of information (62% each) had the highest scores, while staffing and workplace (38.1%) and response to error (26.6%) had the lowest. Moreover, nurses had strong intentions to leave their jobs (M = 3.98). A moderately significant but not highly negative relationship existed between patient safety culture and intent to leave (r = -0.32, p = 0.015). Conclusions There are opportunities to improve patient safety culture, satisfaction, and nurse retention in Jordanian hospitals by implementing several recommendations, such as ensuring better staffing patterns and increasing staff motivation by utilizing various available methods.
