Impact of Patient Safety Culture on Job Satisfaction and Intention to Leave Among Healthcare Workers: Evidence from Middle East Context

Abstract

Background The association between patient safety culture and staff outcomes remains unclear to date. This study aimed to identify the relationship between patient safety culture/job satisfaction and intention to leave among healthcare workers. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted using an online survey. Multinomial logistic regression analysis was used to investigate the association between the safety culture dimensions and the outcomes in terms of job satisfaction and intention to leave. Results Majority were females (77.2%); age between (20–30) years were (66.1%). 1–5 years work experience was reported by (98.2%); nurses accounted for (75.7%). (62.1%) reported very good patient safety grade. (78.3%) of respondents had no intention to leave; (84.3%) reported they like their job, (70.5%) stated that working in this hospital is like being part of a large family. However, (38%) said the hospital is not a good place to work, and morale in their clinical area is low. The overall composite scores were highest for “teamwork within hospital units (81.4)”, and “organizational learning (79.4)”, while lowest for “communication openness (37)“,staffing (26.5)”, and “non-punitive response to error (22.1)”. Females were two times more likely to leave their jobs compared to males (AOR: 2.36, 95% CI: 1.24–3.46); intention to leave was 3.35 (95% CI = 2.19–5.09). As for job satisfaction, ages between 31–40 years tend to like their job two times more than other age groups (AOR: 1.90, 95% CI = 1.02–3.55). The safety culture domains “staffing” and “hospital management support for patient safety” were linked to a higher odds ratio for job satisfaction. Conclusion Aside from gender and age, the dimensions of safety culture, including staffing, hospital management support, hospital handover, and transition, may have a signification impact on job satisfaction and intention to leave among healthcare workers.

“…6,7 Several work-related factors are associated with the intention to leave, such as work duration, 8 work environment, 9 and current working hours, 10,11 as well as salary satisfaction and work pressure. 12,13 However, there is still a lack of research on the factors associated with the intention to leave among ICU healthcare professionals. Investigating factors influencing the intention to leave among ICU healthcare professionals can assist hospital managers in taking preventive measures to address potential issues that may lead to employee turnover.…”
