“…We assessed patient feedback on safety using an Italian version of the PMOS-30 questionnaire. To date, the PMOS questionnaire has been validated in the Australian [ 24 ] and Persian settings [ 25 ]; this is the first time that the PMOS-30 questionnaire has been used in an Italian hospital setting.…”

“…Patients in the ISCED 0-2 group agreed more often than others with the eight items about safety (items 1, 2, 5, 6, 9, 17, 18, and 27). Conversely, they were less informed on three of the four items on "Staff Roles and Responsibilities" (items [23][24][25]. Furthermore, patients under 55 years of age had better knowledge about all four items on "Staff Roles and Responsibilities" (items [23][24][25][26].…”

Background: In our study, an Italian version of the PMOS-30 questionnaire was used to evaluate its feasibility and to improve health care quality in an Italian hospital. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with 435 inpatients at a hospital in the Campania Region of Southern Italy using the PMOS-30 questionnaire and two other questions to assess patient feedback about the overall perception of safety. Results: The item “I was always treated with dignity and respect” showed the greatest percentage of agreement (agree/strongly agree = 89.2%; mean = 4.24). The least agreement was associated with the four “Staff Roles and Responsibilities” items (agree/strongly agree ranged from 31.5 to 40.0%; weighted mean = 2.84). All other 25 items had over 55.0% agreement, with 19 items over 70%. Moreover, 94.5% of the patients considered the safety of the ward sufficient/good/very good, and 92.8% did not notice situations that could cause harm to patients. Conclusion: Patient perception of safety was found to be satisfactory. The results were presented to the hospital decision makers for suggesting appropriate interventions. Our experience showed that the use of the PMOS-30 questionnaire may improve safety and health care quality in hospital settings through patient feedback.

“…Sarvi et al translated PMOS into Persian and confirmed its psychometric properties. They introduced it as appropriate for Iranian population (20). To measure the instrument's internal consistency, we used Cronbach's alpha (α) coefficient and calculated the alpha value of 0.929, which indicates the good internal stability of this instrument.…”

“…However, some health researchers and experts believe that patients can also provide feedback on their care/ treatment safety and provide important information for managers' reflection, planning, and action to manage security in hospitals (18,19). Some researchers even argue that patients' perceptions of safety are more accurate than care providers (16,20). Awareness of patients' perceptions of safety in the hospital environment can lead to first, increase the commitment of senior managers and hospital management and thus increase the quality of care (21); and second, developing programs to involve the various groups of patient care providers in implementing the principles of patient safety protection and reducing errors and adverse events (22).…”

Perception of medical-surgical wards’ patients from safety culture: A cross-sectional and multicenter study

2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Background and aims: Identifying the strengths and weaknesses of safety culture in hospitals can be the basis for developing plans to improve the safety status of patients. This study aimed to determine the level of patient safety culture (PSC) from their view in medical-surgical wards of five teaching hospitals in Zanjan. Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed on 245 patients admitted to medical-surgical wards of five teaching hospitals in the Zanjan, Iran, from 2020-Agust-22 to 2020-November-21. Poisson time sampling method was used. Data collection was performed using a demographic information questionnaire and PSC scale. The data were analyzed using SPSS 18 and descriptive statistics, independent t test, and one-way analysis of variance. Results: The mean of total PSC was 3.63±0.60 out of 5. The highest mean of PSC was related to organizing and planning for care (3.87±0.71) and communication and teamwork (3.80±0.70). The lowest mean was related to information dissemination (3.31±0.60). Conclusion: Safety culture or, in other words, patients’ perception of the safety situation prevailing in studied wards and hospitals was moderate. Therefore, it needs to be upgraded and improved. Among the various dimensions of patient-perceived safety, the manner and extent of information sharing was worse. It is suggested that plans be made to direct actions to improve the patient’s safety culture in general and in the field of information dissemination in particular.

Objective: This study aimed to determine the association between adolescent socioeconomic status (father’s education and adolescent subjective socioeconomic status) and adult quality of life and the mediation roles of adult socioeconomic status, social capital and lifestyle (physical activity and exposure to smoke) among the “Tehran University of Medical Sciences Employees Cohort (TEC) Study” participants. Method: Data of 4455 participants were derived from the Tehran University of Medical Sciences Employees Cohort (TEC) Study. In this study, the World Health Organization quality of life-BREF, the World Bank’s Integrated and the International Physical Activity Questionnaire were used. Data were analyzed with structural equation modeling using SPSS Amos 24.0 program. Results: The mean age of the participants was 42.31 years (SD: 8.37) and most of the subjects were female (60.7%). Correlation analysis results revealed that, quality of life had a significant and positive association with adolescent subjective socioeconomic status ( r = 0.169, p < 0.01) and father’s education ( r = 0.091, p < 0.01). A mediation model testing the direct relationship between adolescent socioeconomic status and adult socioeconomic status and quality of life, showed a positive relationship between adolescent subjective socioeconomic status (β = 0.229, p < 0.001) and father’s education (β = 0.443, p < 0.001) with adult socioeconomic status. Adult socioeconomic status was positively related to quality of life (β = 0.205, p < 0.001). Adult socioeconomic status mediated the relationship between adolescent subjective socioeconomic status (β = 0.047, p < 0.01) and father’s education (β = 0.091, p < 0.01) with quality of life. While adult socioeconomic status fully mediated the relationship between the father’s education and quality of life, it partially mediated the adolescent subjective socioeconomic status-quality of life association. Other variables such as social capital and lifestyle did not have mediator role in a mediation model. Conclusion: This study provides the evidence for the role of adult socioeconomic status as a partial mediator between adolescent subjective socioeconomic status and quality of life. Therefore, there are several unknown mediators other than adult socioeconomic status that need to be explored in future studies.
