“…Involvement and collaborative environments must be developed in the institutions, where health professionals can actively participate in decision‐making and promote teams co‐responsible for the actions of prevention and control of HAIs. Collaborative work and communication are essential to reduce adverse events such as HAIs, with managers playing fundamental roles in building and maintaining positive safety attitudes (Alanazi et al, 2022). In this sense, to ensure the effectiveness of prevention bundles, it is recommended that the elaboration of the protocol be guided by the sector's leaders, involving health professionals in its construction and implementation (Wasserman & Messina, 2018).…”

“…Particularly, nursing professionals face HAIs prevention and control in different organisational levels: in nursing care, in which professionals are the main agents of prevention of HAIs; in managerial actions, developing strategies for the prevention of HAI; and in care‐related infection control services, surveying epidemiological indicators, directing management actions and guiding the teams based on the data produced (Lamblet & Padoveze, 2018). In this sense, it is worth highlighting the management process and the characteristics needed as leadership, team motivation, interpersonal relationships, communication, management of financial and material resources, with positive security attitudes (Alanazi et al, 2022; Gould et al, 2016).…”

Aim: To understand the management actions for prevention and control of health care-associated infections (HAIs) performed by health professionals.Background: Prevention of nosocomial infections has evidence-based practice at its essence, but not all institutions are successful in implementing prevention methodology.Methods: Qualitative research with Grounded Theory methodological framework.The research was carried out in two southern Brazilian hospitals. Data collected were employed through open interviews with 21 health professionals and managers. This process occurred concurrently with the data analysis, through constant comparative analysis. Results:The understanding of the co-responsibility of managerial actions emerged as a central phenomenon of the theoretical model. Management actions for the prevention and control of HAIs are a collective phenomenon, in which co-responsibility sustains the effectiveness of the offered assistance. The behaviours of health teams in the face of structural and human weaknesses influence the construction of a supportive relationship in the effectiveness of patient safety actions. Conclusions:The sharing of responsibilities between professionals and the actions of prevention and control of HAIs arising from this conduct positively influence the promotion of safer and improved quality care.Implications for nursing management: Nursing managers should consider applying the tools to prevent and control HAIs and generate in-depth discussion to promote institution's cultural changes.

“…The appraisal was scored as "yes," "no," "unclear," and "not applicable," and was later converted to a percentage. For measuring the risk of bias, a score above 70 indicated low bias, a score of 50-69 indicated moderate bias, and a score < 49 indicated high bias [6]. A summary is presented in Table 2.…”

“…Such adverse events not only affect patients (primary victims) but also have been reported to have psychological and psychosomatic effects, such as distress, anxiety, anger, and emotional stress, on healthcare providers as secondary victims [5]. Positive patient safety culture can reduce the occurrence of adverse effects [6].…”

Background Patient safety culture, an important aspect in the field of patient safety, plays an important role in the promotion of healthcare quality. Improved patient safety culture decreases patient readmission rates, lengths of hospital stay, and patient safety issues. Patient safety culture includes a set of dimensions. This review focuses on the differing perceptions of these dimensions among healthcare providers in hospitals. Aims This study aimed to identify studies examining healthcare providers’ perceptions of patient safety culture in hospitals and to summarize the data from these studies. Method Electronic database searching was based on the research question. Two electronic databases were used: CINHAL and Scopus. The search was limited to the period 2005–2012, and studies examining healthcare providers’ perceptions of patient safety culture were identified. Key terms were used to search the articles that were selected on the basis of inclusion and exclusion criteria. Articles examining healthcare providers’ perceptions of patient safety culture in hospitals without comparison between nurses and other healthcare professionals were selected. Results Eight articles were reviewed. Several questionnaires were used to assess healthcare providers’ perceptions of patient safety culture in these articles. Our review indicated differences in healthcare providers’ perceptions. In two articles, participants reported a high positive response to teamwork. In addition, participants in the other two articles reported a high positive response to job satisfaction. Conclusion The results of the current review reveal healthcare providers’ perceptions of patient safety culture. The results highlight that careful recognition and committed work on various scales/dimensions of patient safety culture can improve healthcare quality and consequently decrease patient safety issues associated with nursing care. Our findings also encourage hospital management and decision-makers to focus on and establish improvements in areas that will positively affect the quality of healthcare.

“…Nurses with a positive attitude towards safety have less experience with adverse events. Therefore, nurses need to improve their attitude towards safety in order to promote a positive safety culture [ 18 ]. Along these lines, promoting a positive safety culture requires understanding HVNs’ attitudes towards patient safety, awareness, feelings, and behaviors related to risk managment.…”

Background In situations of home care, patients and their family members must address problems and emergencies themselves. For this reason, home-visiting nurses (HVNs) must practice risk management to ensure that patients can continue receiving care in the comfort of their homes. The purpose of this study was to examine HVNs’ attitudes toward risk management. Methods This study adopted a qualitative description approach. Semi-structured interviews were conducted to collect information on HVNs’ risk management behavior and their attitudes toward it. Participants comprised 11 HVNs working at home-visiting nursing agencies in a prefecture of Japan. Transcribed interviews were analyzed using content analysis. Results Nurses’ attitudes toward risk management comprised the following themes: (i) predicting and avoiding risks, (ii) ensuring medical safety in home settings, (iii) coping with incidents, and (iv) playing the role of administrators in medical safety, which was answered only by administrators. Conclusions When practicing risk management, home-visiting nurses should first assess the level of understanding of the patient and family, followed by developing safety measures tailored to their everyday needs. These results further suggest that administrators should take actions to foster a working environment conducive to risk management. These actions include coordinating duties to mitigate risk and improve the process of reporting risks. This study provides a baseline for future researchers to assist patients and families requiring medical care services of this nature.
