“…Some studies found the malpractice tendency score to be low [12,13,18] while other studies found malpractice tendencies to be high, which mostly resulted from drug and transfusion practices subscales [2,19]. This study found the pediatric nurses' mean PSCS score to be high, which was similar to the findings of other studies [20,21] (Table 2). This situation may result from the in-service training provided to the nurses regarding patient safety.…”

Patient safety and medical errors are among the most discussed topics in recent years. Identifying and reporting medical errors is one of the most significant steps toward the adoption of measures to increase patient safety. Pediatric nurses provide care to children, which is why they play an essential role in preventing medical errors and ensuring patient safety. This cross-sectional and descriptive study was conducted to determine the relationship between pediatrics nurse's malpractice tendencies and patient safety culture in Turkey. The study was conducted in the pediatric clinics of a university hospital and a public hospital in a metropolis in the northern region of Turkey. The study population included 142 nurses. A 'Nurse Information Form', a 'Patient Safety Culture Scale (PSCS)', and a 'Malpractice Tendency Scale in Nursing (MTSN)' were used to collect information. Data were analyzed by using SPSS 16 program, descriptive statistics, Independent Two-Sample t-test, one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), Tukey test, Tamhane test, Mann Whitney U, Kruskal Wallis test and Pearson correlation tests. Nurses who had a master's degree, made a medical error, and observed medical errors made by another colleague had a higher mean MTSN score (p<0.05). Nurses aged 46 and older, with a master's degree, that worked in the pediatric unit as a manager had a higher total mean PSCS score (p<0.05). A positive and significant relationship was found between total mean PSCS and MTSN scores. This study found that pediatric nurses' level of malpractice tended to be low and their level of patient safety culture perceptions high, which is significant in terms of quality of patient care.

“…A study conducted in three hospitals in Turkey, which assessed the patient safety culture, observed that having the option to choose the professional unit is a factor that influences the patient safety culture. 28 In contrast, in this study, 76% of respondents stated that they had another employment relationship. The work overload may contribute negatively in the quality of care offered to the patient, favoring the occurrence of adverse events.…”

Objetivo: avaliar a segurança do paciente em Unidade de Terapia Intensiva Pediátrica. Método: estudo transversal realizado com 50 profissionais de uma equipe multiprofissional em uma Unidade de Terapia Intensiva Pediátrica em hospital público do interior da Bahia. Utilizou-se instrumento com variáveis sociodemográficas e profissionais e o questionário Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture (HSOPSC) adaptado para o Brasil. Realizou-se análise descritiva, classificando as dimensões em áreas de força ou críticas para a segurança do paciente. Resultados: dentre as dimensões de segurança do paciente analisadas nesse estudo, destacaram-se positivamente “Aprendizado organizacional” (60,0%) e “Trabalho em equipe no âmbito das unidades”. Conclusão: a identificação de potencialidades e fragilidades é importante ferramenta para o alcance de uma cultura de segurança positiva e desenvolvimento de ações seguras em saúde.

“…However, in a previous study in an Egyptian ICU, the results within the area/unit comparison revealed that no statistically significant difference exists between the paediatric and adult ICUs for all average scores, except for the nonpunitive response to error (Salem et al, 2019). In comparison with other hospital setting units in a previous study, the PSC score in this study was average in the operating room, whereas the score was at the medium level in the ICU (Rizalar & Topcu, 2017).…”

Aim and Objective This study aimed to examine the association between workload and patient safety culture (PSC) among intensive care unit (ICU) nurses. Background ICU nurses play a vital role in promoting patient safety and are essential indicators in any healthcare system including ICUs. Research studies focusing on the relationship between nursing workload and PSC among ICU nurses are limited. Design Descriptive correlational design. Methods The study participants involved 380 ICU nurses at two hospitals in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Data were collected between February 2019–April 2019 and were analysed using SPSS v.22 statistical software. This study was guided by the STROBE checklist. Results The results showed that ICU nurses have high positive perceptions in the following PSC subscales: teamwork within units, organisational learning–continuous improvement, frequency of events reported, feedback and communication about error, management support for patient safety, teamwork across units, supervisor/manager expectations and actions promoting patient safety, handoffs and transitions, nonpunitive response to errors, staffing and overall perceptions of patient safety. However, the participants collectively considered the overall grade on patient safety as poor. The participants had high mean scores in physical demand, effort, mental demand and overall workload. A statistically significant variability existed in the mean scores of the PSC subscales and workload of ICU nurses. The overall workload was significantly and negatively associated with the PSC perceptions of ICU nurses. Conclusion The ICU nurses experienced high overall workload, physical demand, effort and mental demand which influenced the poor grade of their overall perceived PSC. Relevance to Clinical Practice Identifying differences and associations with the perceptions of ICU nurses regarding workload and PSC is important because such perceptions may affect their delivery of nursing care. Hospital and nursing administrators must use the study results to find strategies that address workload issues and enhance patient safety.
