Association between the Nursing Practice Environment and Safety Perception with Patient Safety Culture during COVID-19

Abstract

Aims: In this study, we aimed to identify the relationship between nursing practice environments (NPEs) and safety perceptions with patient safety culture (PSC) during COVID-19. Design: We conducted a quantitative, non-experimental, correlational, and cross-sectional study. We interviewed 211 nurses from Peru using two scales: PES–NWI and HSOPSC. We used the Shapiro–Wilk test and Spearman’s coefficient and estimated two regression models. Results: NPE was reported as favorable by 45.5% of the participants, and PSC was reported as neutral by 61.1%. Safety perception, the workplace, and NPE predict PSC. All NPE factors were correlated with PSC. However, safety perception, support of nurses subscale, the nurse manager’s ability, and leadership were predictors of PSC. Conclusion: To promote a safe work culture, health institutions should foster leadership that prioritizes safety, strengthens managers’ abilities, encourages interprofessional collaboration, and considers nurses’ feedback for constant improvement.

Validation of a Job Satisfaction Scale among Health Workers

“…(10,11,12) Despite being an essential pillar in the health system and recognizing their irreplaceable role, there remains a deficit of research dedicated to exploring job satisfaction in this group. (13,14) From an administrative management standpoint, it is imperative to identify areas of dissatisfaction, develop effective intervention strategies to enhance job satisfaction, and thereby optimize patient care quality and promote staff stability and retention within healthcare institutions. (15,16) The measurement of job satisfaction has evolved over the years with the development of various tools and scales.…”
