“…However, our study did not confirm that place of origin and self-esteem were associated with appraisal of mistreatment. These results are partly in line with previous research that has highlighted the importance of interpersonal interactions among healthcare staff and patients herein, and various individual level risk factors among care providers, such as young age, observation of mistreatment during education, low self-esteem, and high stress levels [6,9,[15][16][17][18]. The significant inverse relationship between positive appraisal of mistreatment and age, is in line with previous studies that have pointed toward more patient-centeredness and better communication skills among older students [32][33][34].…”

A key component to reducing errors and thus ensuring patient safety is promoting good patient–provider communication and effective communication between healthcare professionals [ 3 , 4 ]. However, communication in obstetric care needs to be improved, and this need has been reflected in public debates about obstetric violence, and in the face of emergencies [ 5 ].…”

“…Patient safety is commonly defined as the absence of preventable adverse events (PAE) or incidents [ 4 ]. Patient safety incidents are PAEs that are a consequence of healthcare processes and healthcare interventions, rather than of the patients’ condition itself.…”
