Abstract

ABSTRACT: Ensuring patient safety is an important home section that shows health care services in all health facilities. Nurses are the most important health professionals in establishing and maintaining patient safety in health care packages.
OBJECTIVE: This study was conducted with the aim of evaluating the patient safety culture evaluations and examination criteria of the staff working in university hospitals.
METHODS: This study was conducted with 420 cross-sectional images working in three university hospitals. The research data were collected using the Nurses' question formula to hide their introductory information and patient safety status, and the Patient Safety Culture Hospital Questionnaire. Genetic statistics, t-test, Mann Whitney U test, analysis of variance and Kruskall-Wallis test were used to evaluate the data.
RESULTS: In the study, the overall score of the Patient Safety Culture Hospital Questionnaire (PSCHQ) of the pictures was 43.3%. It was found that the sub-dimension of PSCHQ with the highest positive response percentage was “team work within the units (68.5%)”, and the sub-dimensions that were determined as tests and whose dimensions were required first were “staffing (26.9%)”, “hospital interventions and (28.3%)” and “error reporting rate (29.4%)” and “open breakdown of communication (37%)”. In the study, the difference between the women (46.56±22.64) and the configuration (35.71±26.73) “HSPSC-comprehensive perception of security” sub-dimension positive response percentage average was maintained as closed (p=0.027). The difference between the mean percentage of positive responses belonging to the "HSPSC-error reporting rate" sub-dimension of male administrators (45.24±45.55) and female administrators (28.23±39.92) was obtained as the extent of difference (p=0.037). According to the education level of the nurses, the sub-dimension of “HSPSC-report of errors” sub-dimension positive response percentages was found to be the difference between the groups (p=0.021).
CONCLUSION: These results show that in ensuring and maintaining patient safety, they should primarily take responsibility at the administrative level and create a permanent patient safety culture in the health care stages.
