Are Spanish primary care professionals aware of patient safety?

Abstract

This is the first national study to measure PSC in primary care in Spain. Results may reflect on-going efforts to build a strong PSC. Further research into its association with safety outcomes and patients' perceptions is required.

Systematic psychometric review of self‐reported instruments to assess patient safety culture in primary care

“…Characteristics of the included studies are presented in Table . Most studies (N = 8) originated from Western high‐income countries (Astier‐Pena et al., ; Bell, Reeves, Marsden, & Avery, ; Bodur & Filiz, ; de Wet, Johnson, Mash, McConnachie, & Bowie, ; Gehring et al., ; Hoffmann et al., ; Ornelas, Pais, & Sousa, ; Verbakel et al., ). Five studies (Al‐Khaldi, ; Ghobashi, El‐ragehy, Mosleh, & Al‐Doseri, ; Nabhan & Ahmed‐Tawfik, ; Tabrizchi & Sedaghat, ; Webair et al., ) assessed primary care patient safety culture in the Eastern Mediterranean Region (EMRO), of which four (Al‐Khaldi, ; Ghobashi et al., ; Nabhan & Ahmed‐Tawfik, ; Webair et al., ) in an Arabic population.…”

“…With the exception of two studies (Bodur & Filiz, ; Nabhan & Ahmed‐Tawfik, ), all papers were published between 2012 and 2016. All studies conducted a cross‐sectional anonymous survey with a sample size varying between 78 (Webair et al., ) and 4.344 (Astier‐Pena et al., ) respondents. The response rate varied between 23.6% (Verbakel et al., ) and 99.4% (Gabrani, Knibb, Petrela, Hoxha, & Gabrani, ).…”

“…Frequently enclosed patient safety culture dimensions were “ leadership” (Astier‐Pena et al., ; Bell et al., ; de Wet et al., ; Ornelas et al., ; Webair et al., ), “staffing” (Astier‐Pena et al., ; Bodur & Filiz, ; Ghobashi et al., ; Ornelas et al., ; Tabrizchi & Sedaghat, ; Webair et al., ), “organizational learning” (Astier‐Pena et al., ; Bodur & Filiz, ; Ghobashi et al., ; Ornelas et al., ; Tabrizchi & Sedaghat, ; Verbakel et al., ; Webair et al., ), “communication” (Astier‐Pena et al., ; Bell et al., ; Bodur & Filiz, ; de Wet et al., ; Ghobashi et al., ; Ornelas et al., ; Tabrizchi & Sedaghat, ; Verbakel et al., ; Webair et al., ) and teamwork (Al‐Khaldi, ; Astier‐Pena et al., ; Bell et al., ; Bodur & Filiz, ; de Wet et al., ; Gabrani et al., ; Ghobashi et al., ; Hoffmann et al., ; Ornelas et al., ; Tabrizchi & Sedaghat, ; Verbakel et al., ; Webair et al., ).…”

“…A wide range of questionnaires was used. Three studies developed a questionnaire based on the AHRQ Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture (Bodur & Filiz, ; Ghobashi et al., ; Tabrizchi & Sedaghat, ) or on the AHRQ Medical Office Survey (Astier‐Pena et al., ; Ornelas et al., ; Webair et al., ). The Safety Climate Survey and the Safety Attitude Questionnaire (SAQ)—both initially developed for the hospital setting—were also used (Gabrani et al., ; Nabhan & Ahmed‐Tawfik, ).…”

Análisis de la cultura de seguridad en una Unidad de Cardiología gestionada por procesos

“…En el año 2013 se publica un estudio en el que se analiza 173 encuestas HSOPSC, en un área de salud andaluza 22 . Por último, en 2015 se publica el primer estudio del país que analiza la cultura de seguridad en atención primaria 23 . Sin embargo nunca se ha estudiado la cultura de seguridad en el ámbito de la cardiología.…”
