The factor of resident safety culture in nursing homes in Indonesia

Abstract

Purpose Older adults living in nursing homes may become vulnerable because of errors or incidents; it is necessary to create a positive safety culture to minimise such occurrences. However, safety culture is still a prevailing issue in Indonesian nursing homes. This study aims to examine factors related to resident safety culture in nursing homes located in Indonesia. Design/methodology/approach This study used a cross-sectional research design and involved 13 nursing homes in East Java province, Indonesia. Multistage cluster samplings were used to determine the respondents of this study. The respondents included 219 employees: managers, health care, supportive and administrative staff. The Indonesian version of the Safety Attitudes Questionnaire was used to measure safety culture. Findings Most of the respondents (68.5%) had a positive perspective on the nursing home’s safety culture. Staffs who had worked for six to ten years in the nursing home were 17.07 times more likely to have positive perspective on safety culture with a p-value of 0.0002. Respondents who gave direct care also had a positive perception of safety culture with a p-value of 0.008. Research limitations/implications Broader insight into safety culture needs to be provided to all staff in the nursing home. Safety topics should be included in the orientation session for new staff. Originality/value The staff’s work experience and direct care have a significant connection to safety culture.

Efforts to Improve the Safety Culture of the Elderly in Nursing Homes: A Qualitative Study

“…Efforts to improve service quality and improve safety culture are not only within the scope of hospitals and companies but safety culture is also very important in the scope of nursing homes. 15 Patient safety standards must be implemented in hospitals and other healthcare facilities including nursing homes, there are patient safety standards consisting of seven standards, one of which is educating staff about patient safety through healthcare facilities having an education, training, and orientation process for each position includes a clear link between the position and patient safety and organizes continuous education and training to improve and maintain staff competence and support an interdisciplinary approach in patient care. 14 After education and training and a long time in the orphanage, workers will then have Work experience.…”

“…13 Healthcare facilities can improve the implementation of patient or elderly safety standards, reduce risks and improve patient safety by providing adequate human resources, facilities, and infrastructure, increasing staff participation in service quality improvement programs, increasing staff training, communicating with patients and families, as well as overcoming challenges and obstacles. 15 The need to implement a patient safety culture in healthcare facilities is one step toward patient or elderly safety. Eight steps to develop a patient safety culture are 1) set a focus on patient safety, patient safety must be a strategic priority for health care facilities; 2) Thinking simply and taking steps to improve services, providing safe health services for patients may require rather complex steps, but breaking down this complexity will provide more tangible improvements; 3) Encouraging an open reporting system, all staff must create a culture that encourages reporting, recording actions that harm patients is as important as recording actions that save patients.…”

Upaya Peningkatan Hasil Belajar Siswa Pada Materi Waktu dan Durasi Dengan Menggunakan Media Papan Waktu

“…Penelitian tentang upaya peningkatan hasil belajar siswa pada materi waktu dan durasi dengan menggunakan media papan waktu merupakan sebuah inisiatif yang relevan dalam konteks pendidikan modern. Dalam teori pembelajaran, penggunaan media pembelajaran seperti papan waktu dapat membantu siswa memvisualisasikan konsep abstrak tentang waktu dan durasi secara lebih konkret (Indarwati, et al, 2023). Menurut teori konstruktivis, pembelajaran yang melibatkan penggunaan media visual dapat memfasilitasi konstruksi pengetahuan oleh siswa, karena mereka dapat melihat dan merasakan konsep yang dipelajari secara langsung (Adisusilo, 2018).…”

Influence of Safety Climate on Safety Performance in Gas Stations in Indonesia

“…Ningrum et al [46] and Juliawati et al [47] conducted a validity test for the Bahasa Indonesia version of SAQ, and both concluded that it had good internal consistency, validity, and reliability. Furthermore, an investigation by Indarwati et al [48], which also used SAQ, attenuates that the staff's work experience had a significant effect on safety climate, i.e., the longer the experience, the higher the safety perceptions were on the workers. Wibowo et al [14] also argued on this issue that less-experienced workers have higher demand in management's commitment and intervention, while experienced workers tend to accept the condition as they were accustomed to.…”
