“…The areas with the most potential for improvement in this study area were “feedback and communication about error” and “frequency of event reporting” with an average positive response rate of 27% and 29.6%, respectively. These results were supported by studies done in Jimma, 24 Amhara, 25 Tunisia, 21 Oman, 16 and Sri Lanka 15 but received a higher rating in Iran. 18…”

The study aimed to assess the level of patient safety culture and associated factors among health-care providers at the University of Gondar comprehensive specialized hospital, Northwest Ethiopia, 2020. Methods A cross-sectional study design supported by the qualitative approach was conducted from March 15 to May 15/2020. A stratified simple sampling technique was used to select 575 study participants. The standardized tool, which measures 12 safety culture dimensions, was used for data collection. Bivariate and multivariable linear regression analyses performed using SPSS version 23. The significance level was obtained at 95% CI and p-value <0.05. For the qualitative part, a semi-structured interview guide with probing was used. Data were analyzed thematically using open code software version 4.02. Results The overall level of positive patient safety culture was 45.3% (95% CI: 44.7, 45.9) with a response rate of 92.2%. Factor analysis indicated that female, masters, participation in patient safety program, adverse event report, hospital management encourage reporting event and resource were positively associated with the patient safety culture. Whereas divorced/widowed, midwives, anesthetist, medicine, pediatrics, emergency, outpatient, pharmacy, direct contact with patients, and hospital management blame when medical errors happened were negatively associated. The in-depth interview revealed that teamwork, health-care professionals’ attitude toward patient safety and patient involvement as important factors that influence patient safety culture. Conclusions and Recommendations The overall level of positive patient safety culture was low.

“…Magnitude of patient safety culture in this study was 44%, which is less than average and is slightly low when compared to the other two studies conducted in Ethiopia in which both found 46.7% and 47 % for Amhara regional hospitals and Jimma zonal hospitals respectively. (Wami et al, 2016), (Mekonnen et al, 2017) It is also lower than study findings of other African countries as well who scored at least the average like Tunisia (50%) (Cheikh et al, 2016), and Mozambique (57%) (R & Cl, 2016). Our finding is much higher than the findings in Egypt (26.13%)(Mahmoud Mahran, 2016).…”

Background: Improving patient safety highly depends on achieving a culture that supports health workers to report their errors without the fear of punishment. Despite policy emphasis on patient safety in Ethiopia only little studies examine the perception of health workers on patient safety. Objective: The main objective of this study was to assess the magnitude of patient safety culture and associated factors among health workers in Addis Ababa regional hospitals. Methods: Facility based cross sectional study was conducted to assess the magnitude of patient safety culture and associated factors. Results: Magnitude of patient safety culture among health workers in Addis Ababa regional hospitals was 44% CI [42.75,45.36]. Among the 12 dimensions of patient safety " Team work with in Units " (74.78%) was the highest. The least score was for the dimension of " Nonpunitive Response to Errors " (28.70). Five of the 12 dimensions scored above 50%. Only 35 % of respondents gave very good and excellent grades and only 44% of respondents reported at least one event in the past 12 months. Conclusion: Magnitude of patient safety culture for regional hospitals in Addis Ababa was 44 % which is below the acceptable average value (50%), which requires responsible parties' attention.

“…O estudo realizado por Cheikh et al (2016) com a utilização do instrumento HSOPSC à coleta de dados evidencia resultados semelhantes ao presente estudo: apoio e ajuda entre funcionários como comportamentos intra-setores, embora com percentuais menores quando os construtos são avaliados entre equipes de diferentes setores. Os autores citam estudos com resultados semelhantes realizados nos Estados Unidos (80% para o trabalho intra-setores e 58% para o trabalho em equipe entre os setores) e na Arábia Saudita com uma diferença significativamente grande de 57% entre o trabalho em equipe no serviço e entre os serviços.…”

O propósito do artigo é apresentar os resultados de pesquisa sobre segurança do paciente a partir das percepções dos funcionários de uma instituição hospitalar de alta complexidade, localizada na região sul do Brasil. Trata-se de pesquisa aplicada, transversal, exploratória e descritiva, com design survey e abordagem quantitativa. À coleta de dados foi utilizado o Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture (HSOPSC), desenvolvido pela Agency for Healthcare Research And Quality e validado no Brasil por Reis (2013). Participaram da pesquisa 646 (67%) entre os 960 funcionários do hospital. Como principais resultados do estudo foram identificadas como dimensões fortes para a segurança dos pacientes 'aprendizado organizacional', 'apoio da gestão hospitalar para segurança do paciente', 'frequência de eventos relatados' e 'expectativas sobre o seu supervisor/chefe' e 'ações promotoras de segurança do paciente. De outro modo, as dimensões ‘passagem de plantão/turno’ e ‘respostas não punitivas aos erros’ caracterizaram-se como frágeis para a cultura de segurança no hospital. Portanto, reforçar os aspectos promotores e intervir nos aspectos fragilizantes representam ações urgentes e necessárias a serem adotadas no hospital em tela, assim como em todo o sistema hospitalar.
