Abstract
Patient safety is a thoughtful global public health subject. In recent years, nations have increasingly documented the position of improving patient safety. Patient safety reporting systems are now a fundamental component of an organizational strategy to foster a culture of safety and are used to communicate safety concerns through mandatory and voluntary reporting. Creating an environment that encourages employees to identify and report errors, evaluate causes, and take appropriate actions to improve performance has become part of a comprehensive strategy to improve patient safety.
The goal of this work was to improve behavior, attitude and policies that support patient safety among health care personnel at Beni-Suef University Hospital. The objectives were; to determine the barriers for nurses’ reporting of medical errors, and to explore the impact of nurses engagement in a patient safety culture model interactive workshop on their knowledge, attitude and skills to safety event reporting. The marks of this study will help to provide a road map for enhancing nurses’ attitude, skills and knowledge of patient safety culture and safety event reporting at Beni-Suef University Hospital.
An interventional prospective study with an exploratory qualitative phase and a follow-up quantitative phase, conducted from March 2018 to September 2020 in the all departments and intensive care units (ICUs) in Beni-Suef University Hospital. Study included 12 nurses in its qualitative phase and 287 nurses in the interventional phase of the study.
The marks of this study presented that when barriers to error reporting were examined, the three areas identified from the data were: (The nurses’ perceptions of error, Fear and, Barriers related to the system). The Patient Safety attitude, skills and knowledge scale (PS-ASK) was used to measure nurses’ safety culture perceptions pre- and post-intervention. Mean total Knowledge score was significantly increased in the post-assessment as compared with the pre-assessment. The comparison of pre- and post-assessment scores of skills and its associated subcategories among studied nurses showed slight increase in all scores; however this increase was not statistically significant. Mean scores of attitude and its associated subcategories among studied nurses were significantly improved after implementation of the interactive patient safety culture workshop.
It was concluded from the analysis of the post-intervention data that introduction of the just culture model through staff engagement in an interactive workshop produced some significant changes in safety culture perceptions and that further research in this area is warranted. The thesis has also helped to indicate the need to augment the intervention to produce more positive results in all the dimensions studied.
