“…These findings come in agreement with Alahmadi; El-Jardali et al, who reported that shortage of nursing staff leads to an increase in workload, and this pressure is considered a major cause of errors [25,26]. Furthermore, the nursing environment which include arrangement of nursing units, technological equipment, communication, knowledge transfer among staff, inadequate policies, fatigue, stress and workload are significant factors affecting patient safety and the quality of care [19,27,16,28]. Finally, in a supportive and collaborative environment, nurses complied with the safety requirements [29].…”

Abstract:Background: All healthcare professionals are susceptible to commit adverse events. Nurses are the key to safety improvements in many aspects. Aim of this study was to investigate perception of patient safety among nurses at Shebin ElKom Teaching Hospital. The Design of this study was descriptive research design. A convenient sample of 114 nurses was selected to carry out this study. Setting of this study was Shebin ElKom Teaching Hospital. Tool of this study was Nurse Questionnaire [1]. Results showed that there was significant difference in the nurses' perception of work environment (80.16± 15.8; P< 0.000). The majority of nurses (57.9%) perceived low patient safety. The majority of nurses (63.2, 52.6, 57.9, 57.9 & 52.6) perceived never occurrence of adverse events. The majority of nurses did not formally report adverse events. Conclusion: nurses perceive negative work environment, job dissatisfaction, low patient safety and underreporting trend of the adverse events. Recommendation: Strategies for improvement should include non-punitive adverse event reporting system, develop patient safety policy and set clear guidelines for improving the work environment dimensions.

“…This finding is rather difficult to interpret because this result has not previously been described using the same tool in other studies. Related study findings in Saudi Arabia using a different tool suggest that non‐Arabic‐speaking nurses and those with more extensive clinical experience have a positive perception of patient safety culture (Aboshaiqah & Baker, ). As to nationality, it could be attributed to the experience and education of the nurses.…”

“…As to nationality, it could be attributed to the experience and education of the nurses. Differences in the experience and education of the nurses could be attributed to the country of origin (Aboshaiqah & Baker, ; Colet et al., , ). Furthermore, clinical experience was identified as a predictor.…”

“…A dimension is considered a strength if it is rated favourably by ≥75% of the participants, whereas a dimension is considered a weakness if it is responded positively by ≤50% of the respondents (Westat et al, ). The tool has acceptable reliability, with Cronbach's alpha ranging from 0.63–0.84 (Sorra & Dyer, ), and has acceptable construct validity when used by nurses in Saudi Arabia (Aboshaiqah & Baker, ). Alquwez et al () reported an acceptable internal consistency reliability among nurses in the country.…”

Aims and objectives To assess the perceptions of clinical practitioners regarding the different dimensions of patient safety culture in their hospital and examine the work‐related predictors of patient safety culture perceptions. Background Patient safety is seen as a progressively critical focus in healthcare areas worldwide. Saudi Arabia aims to improve healthcare quality by providing access to healthcare for its increasing population. Hence, constantly assessing the patient safety culture of healthcare facilities in the country is imperative. Design One‐sample correlational survey design. Methods The Hospital Survey of Patients' Safety Culture was used to survey the total population sample of 181 healthcare practitioners in a Saudi hospital from December 2018–January 2019. Strengths and weaknesses on PS culture were identified as perceived by the clinical practitioners. Regression analysis was performed to identify the work‐related predictors of patient safety culture perceptions. The study followed the STROBE guideline. Results Nine of the 12 dimensions measured were identified as patient safety culture weaknesses, including ‘management support for patient safety’ (49.2%), ‘teamwork across unit’ (44.2%), ‘frequency of events reporting’ (43.1%), ‘communication openness’ (41.3%), ‘overall perception of patient safety’ (38.7%), ‘supervisor/manager expectations and actions promoting patient safety’ (32.9%), ‘staffing’ (23.7%), ‘hospital handoffs and transitions’ (19.6%) and ‘non‐punitive response to errors’ (15.8%). None of the dimensions were identified as strengths by the respondents. Working hours per week and staff position were identified as significant predictors. Conclusions The study underscores the urgent need to improve the patient safety culture of the hospital. Relevance to clinical practice Hospital administrators should highlight initiatives on positive patient safety impact plan for clinical practitioners and patients, such as monitoring, reporting and strictly adhering to hospital activities that reduce the risks associated with exposure to medical care.
