“…Work satisfaction and stress perception were the domains that had the best results and were considered positive (75 or more). Work satisfaction was positive in all the hospitals, which was also observed in other studies carried out in Brazil [15][16][17][18]. In international studies, although this domain does not always present the best performance, it has been observed that this domain is well evaluated, occupying at least one of the three best positions [10][11][12][13][14]24].…”

“…The critical performance of the working conditions domain, both in the hospitals and in the total sample, was similar to that found in other studies conducted in several different countries [10][11][12][13][14], where this domain had the worst or second worst performance in comparison to others. Studies conducted in Brazilian hospitals also found similar results [15][16][17][18].…”

“…Safety assessments have been conducted more frequently in recent years, which indicates that the attention of researchers and the health system itself have been drawn to the recognition of the safety climate in health services. Several applications are available, ranging from purely safety assessments [15,16,19] to safety assessments performed before and after interventions (implementation of work processes and/or assistance protocols) [27-29] as well as combining evaluations to correlate results [22,30,31]. The application possibilities are numerous, and the results are very important to verify the scope and efficacy of the implemented improvements.…”

Background To evaluate the safety climate in Brazilian public hospitals using the Safety Attitudes Questionnaire from the perspective of professionals working in Brazilian public hospitals. Methods An analytical cross-sectional study of the safety climate carried out in eleven public hospitals. The evaluation was performed using the Safety Attitudes Questionnaire in an electronic format. Sampling was stratified, and collection was by convenience. Results equal or greater than 75 were considered positive. Descriptive and inferential analyses were performed, and Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney non-parametric statistical tests were used. Results None of the eleven hospitals had a mean over 75. The domains that performed positively above 75 were work satisfaction at all hospitals and perception of stress in nine hospitals. The worst results were for working conditions and management perception, and none of the hospitals had a mean above 75 for these two parameters. Differences in the means of the domains of the questionnaire were found in all hospitals, except for the management perception domain. No professional category had a mean over 75 in all hospitals. Conclusions Because the safety climate in the eleven public hospitals has proven to be negative, actions are suggested to improve this performance since maintaining a safety culture is an important aspect of patient safety. Our research provides a baseline measurement of the safety attitude in the evaluated hospitals, making it possible to guide decision making to implement improvements of the quality of patient care and safety.

“…Observa-se pouca evidência científica na utilização deste instrumento específico SAQ/CC, por ser recente de 2018, por isso, foi realizado uma análise com outros cenários para avaliar a pontuação global utilizando o instrumento SAQ. Em um hospital geral de grande porte a pontuação global foi de 57% (Carvalho et al, 2019), saúde mental 69% (Oliveira et al, 2018), filantrópico 69% (Magalhães et al, 2019) e maternidade 74% (Santos et al, 2019). Como descrito, percebe-se que esses cenários também não apresentaram o valor considerado positivo de cultura de segurança.…”

Objective: to evaluate a safety culture in a university surgical center, checking if there is a difference in assessment between the support, nursing and medical teams. Methods: cross-sectional, descriptive, quantitative study, performed in the operating room of a university hospital, with health professionals between March and June 2019, using the Safety Attitudes Questionnaire/Operating Room as an instrument. Descriptive and inferential statistical analysis was performed. Results: the global score was 59.45%, the support team had three positive domains, perceived stress 78.88%, work condition 77.86% and safety climate 76.06%, followed the nursing team in the communication domain 75,11% and the medical team didn’t present any positive domain. The surgical center teams showed three significant differences between the safety culture domains. Conclusion: the results allowed to evaluate the safety culture of the university surgical center and the differences between the teams, contributing to the improvement of surgical assistance.

Introduction: In the health care environment, the quality and safety attributes are imperative for promoting safe care, which requires the strengthening of a safety culture. General objective: To evaluate the safety climate in the perspective of health professionals in the hospitalization and intensive care units, in a public hospital specialized in cardiology, located in the City of Rio de Janeiro. Method: This is a quantitative and exploratory-descriptive study that included 391 health professionals. Data were collected between April and June 2018, using the Safety Attitudes Questionnaire (SAQ) instrument, translated and validated for the Portuguese language/ Brazil. The findings were analyzed through descriptive and inferential statistics, with a significance level of 5%, and the reliability of the questionnaire by the Cronbach α value. Results: The instrument proved to be reliable, with a total α value of 0.92, ranging from 0.70 to 0.80 in the surveyed domains. As for the characterization of the individuals, the female gender (75%) and the professionals of the nursing team (53.88%) were prevalent. The average age corresponded to 40.89 years (sd=10.06), most (75.89%) worked in the adult specialty, with an average work time in the unity of 9.77 years (sd=6.98), and 64.09% maintained thestatutory bond. Regarding the SAQ safety climate, the overall average was 66.6 (sd=15); among the domains, "Work satisfaction" showed the highest score, average of 80.79 (sd=19.56), and the lowest scores were observed in the domains of "Work conditions", average of 61.19 (sd=27.69), "Perception of unit management", 60.02 (sd=27.62), and "Perception of hospital management", 52.54 (sd=22.29). In the comparison between the domains and the sociodemographic variables, there was a statistically significant difference with regard to professional category, gender, employment bond, unit of work and age. Conclusion: The findings highlighted that the safety climate culture has weaknesses, especially with respectto managerial issues and work conditions, but professionals are satisfied with work performed. It was possible to understand that the sociodemographic variables influenced the perception of the safety climate, especially those related to professional category, gender and employment bond. Moreover, it is believed that the understanding of the climate constitutes a driving element to help us implement improvement actions for safe care.
