“…As other surveys from around the world also have revealed, the internal consistency of the teamwork perception rate is relatively low as opposed to the safety-climate rate [13][14][15][16].…”

“…The evaluation showed that while the teamwork factor received a positive rating, given that its overall score was >75%, the same did not occur for the safety-climate factor. Two other surveys carried out within Cypriot public hospitals, in one of which the participants were exclusively nurses working in an ICU, yielded a positive overall teamwork score; in contrast, the scores were quite low in another survey of obstetric staff [ 11 - 14 ]. Both the teamwork climate and job satisfaction were high in the ICU, possibly due to the way the department operates and to the possibly greater autonomy of the nursing staff.…”

Background Over time, the multidimensional nature of the safety culture in the healthcare field has led to great efforts to improve quality and create tools aiming at enhancing safety. In particular, emphasis has been placed on teamwork and the safety climate. There is a strong relationship between these two complex elements, which interact to improve the safety climate and reduce patient-safety issues. In this study, “teamwork” includes the perceptions of the health professionals collaborating within a health team to provide safe patient care, and “safety climate” refers to the professional commitment to patient safety. Objective This article assesses health professionals’ perceptions of both patient-safety issues and teamwork in their hospital work environment after the development and implementation of a comprehensive quality-assurance system. Methods This descriptive correlation study is based on anonymous and self-completed questionnaires obtained after the development and implementation of a comprehensive quality assurance system in the wards and departments of Nicosia General Hospital. The research sample consisted of the health professionals who participated in the working groups that implemented the quality assurance system. We used the questionnaire’s sociodemographic data and the Safety Attitudes Questionnaire (SAQ) developed in the Deepening our Understanding of Quality Improvement in Europe program, focusing on two factors: Teamwork and the safety climate. Results While teamwork received a positive score (>75%), the same did not occur for the safety climate (68.60%). Women typically rated the safety climate more positively than men, who mostly gave negative ratings (p = 0.005). There was a statistically significant difference (p = 0.011) in the scores between participants aged 24-44 and those aged 45-54, with the latter reporting higher teamwork scores. The participants’ educational levels also played important roles in their responses, with university graduates (BSc) providing more positive teamwork scores than those with a master’s degree (p = 0.018). Conclusions Our research revealed that the health professionals of Nicosia General Hospital perceived the teamwork climate as positive, in contrast to the safety climate. The results highlight the need not only to intervene in all the areas covered by the SAQ to improve the safety climate but also to keep encouraging teamwork to obtain better results.

Introducción: Los problemas relacionados con la seguridad del paciente en el contexto prehospitalario son poco explorados, pero esenciales, dada la vulnerabilidad a incidentes. Objetivo: analizar el clima de seguridad del paciente desde la perspectiva del equipo multidisciplinario que actúa en la Atención Prehospitalaria Móvil (APS). Materiales y Métodos: estudio transversal, realizado en una Atención Prehospitalaria Móvil. La recolección de datos se realizó a través de Seguridad actitudes Cuestionario (SAQ), con muestreo por conveniencia y tasa de participación del 94,3% de los profesionales elegibles. Para el análisis de los datos se utilizó estadística descriptiva y la prueba de Mann-Whitney. Resultados: Entre los 151 profesionales participantes, predominaron los del sexo masculino (54,6%), auxiliares y técnicos de enfermería (42,0%), con 10 o más años de actuación (61,0%), en la atención de adultos y pediátrica (93,4%). El SAQ Total tuvo una mediana de 70, indicando una percepción negativa de los participantes sobre la seguridad del paciente en la APH. Los dominios con percepción negativa fueron: Clima de Seguridad, Reconocimiento del Estrés, Percepción de la Gestión y Condiciones de Trabajo; mientras que los dominios Clima de Trabajo en Equipo y Satisfacción Laboral mostraron una percepción positiva. En el análisis comparativo entre profesionales, se observaron diferencias entre algunas categorías para los dominios de Satisfacción en el Trabajo, Reconocimiento del Estrés y Condiciones de Trabajo. Conclusiones: Este estudio presenta las peculiaridades de los servicios médicos de emergencia y la necesidad de sensibilizar a los profesionales y gestores sobre la seguridad del paciente, con el fin de comprender mejor el escenario actual y las posibilidades de reducción de eventos adversos para mejorar la atención ofrecida.

“…The safety culture can be defined as a set of group and individual values, attitudes and competences that determine a pattern of behavior and commitment to institutional safety. Thus, achieving a safety culture also involves the safety climate, which encompasses the professionals' perception of the environment and the relationships developed in the work process (8) . Although safety culture…”
