“…Similar to our finding several studies support that nurses are generally satisfied with their job [10-12. This is an encouraging finding for healthcare organizations as job satisfaction has previously been found to be positively associated with organizational commitment and organizational support among nurses [10][11][12]. In addition, improving the satisfaction at work has been reported to result into an increase in the job performance and, consequently, improve the quality of patient safety [13,14]. Interestingly, the job satisfaction increased with the increase in the years of experience in this study.…”

The objective was to evaluate the patient safety culture from the perspective of the nursing teams at two surgical inpatient units of a university hospital, using the Safety Attitudes Questionnaire. Cross-sectional survey with quantitative approach, conducted at the two surgical inpatient units of the university hospital in Florianópolis, SC, Brazil. The Safety Attitudes Questionnaire was applied to 46 nursing professionals. Data analysis used descriptive and inferential statistics. The results show that all dimensions measured values scored lower than the minimum positive safety culture. The lower scores were found in the dimensions "perceptions of management" and "working conditions". Concerning the age of the professionals, young professionals stood out with higher scores. As for the professional categories, the higher scores were related to nursing assistants. The evaluation of the safety culture in the units studied demonstrates weakness in the six dimensions assessed.

Credit scoring models are usually formulated by fitting the probability of loan default as a function of individual evaluation attributes. Typically, these attributes are measured using a Likert-type scale, but are treated as interval scale explanatory variables to predict loan defaults. Existing models also do not distinguish between types of default, although they vary: default by an insolvent company and default by an insolvent debtor. This practice can bias the results. In this paper, we applied Quantification Method II, a categorical version of canonical correlation analysis, to determine the relationship between two sets of categorical variables: a set of default types and a set of evaluation attributes. We distinguished between two types of loan default patterns based on quantification scores. In the first set of quantification scores, we found knowledge management, new technology development, and venture registration as important predictors of default from non-default status. Based on the second quantification score, we found that the technology and profitability factors influence loan defaults due to an insolvent company. Finally, we proposed a credit-risk rating model based on the quantification score.
