“…A study of 111 staff, including junior residents, senior residents, surgeons, nurses, scrub technologists, and anesthetists in an operating theater found that the surgeons' perceptions of patient safety culture were more positive than that of the residents. That study also found the perceptions of the senior residents (3–5 years of postgraduate training) were more positive than those of the new residents (1–2 years), which might have been related to differences in professional experience 27. The new residents might have a more negative perception of patient safety culture because they had a greater possibility of making errors.…”

BackgroundThe first step towards establishing and improving patient safety culture in hospitals is measuring patient safety culture perceptions of staff. Few studies have examined the perception of patient safety culture in general surgery departments.ObjectivesThe objective of this study was to evaluate patient safety culture and patient safety grade in general surgery departments and to examine the relation between the patient safety culture and the patient safety grade.MethodsThis study examined patient safety culture and patient safety grades of 124 staff in seven surgery departments of a hospital in Turkey. The staff completed the hospital survey on patient safety culture and answered questions about their professional characteristics. One-way ANOVA, Independent-samples t test, corrected chi-square test, multiple correspondence analysis and Eta co-efficient were used in statistical analyses.ResultsThe patient safety dimension of “teamwork within units” had the highest mean and percentage of positive responses. The “frequency of events reported” and “non-punitive response to errors” had the lowest means and percentages of positive responses. Participants with resident or nurse positions, < age 31 years, with < 6 years of professional experience, and 60 or more work hours/week, had significantly more negative perceptions of patient safety culture than other participants. Patient safety grades and the dimensions of “management support for patient safety” and “overall perceptions of patient safety” had significantly high Eta coefficients.ConclusionFrequency of events reported and non-punitive responses to errors should be improved, and participants' characteristics should be considered at improvement efforts in general surgery departments. The dimesions with low means suggest opportunities for improvement.

“…A systematic review of recent patient safety studies reported that educational interventions are introduced on too-small a scale to be sustainable or benefit patient care 40. In the USA, research has shown that undergraduate patient safety education is not yet established,14 and surgical resident perception of perioperative safety remains suboptimal 41. One study suggested that adequate patient safety education could equip qualifying healthcare professionals with the same safety skillset as their seniors 42.…”

“…It is expected from residents to pay particular attention to patient safety. In facts, residents' perceptions of perioperative safety were defined as suboptimal in different scientific papers [120,134,135]. Establishing a culture of safety in ophthalmology and training young doctors in this field is important in order to improve patient care standards.…”

Modern ophthalmic surgery has reached very high safety standards. Yet, given the large number of ophthalmic procedures, medical errors are common in eye care. This chapter presents general safety issues in ophthalmic surgery and focuses on the most common procedures: cataract surgery and intravitreal injection therapy. The literature on the translation of safety strategies to ophthalmology is summarized alongside with guidance elaborated by professional and regulatory bodies that are of greatest importance in eye care. The perspective adopted in this chapter is largely that of ophthalmology trainees, who are asked to guide the progression of ophthalmology toward safer care.
