“…Khoshab's study also showed that teamwork is related to the team's work factors, and the personality characteristics of the members will have the most signi cant impact on the team's behavioral achievements (20). According to similar studies, pre-hospital emergency managers can promote teamwork by clarifying roles and responsibilities, managing con ict, and facilitating communication between team members (24). The presence of competent colleagues, promoting cooperation in the team, can signi cantly improve the care provided and increase safety.…”

Objective: This study aims to investigate unsafe behaviors and their relationship with work-related factors among pre-hospital emergency staff in Ardabil province, northwestern Iran. Background: Pre-hospital emergency staff play an essential role in delivering healthcare services and often encounter various safety incidents. Many of these safety incidents stem from unsafe behaviors, such as regulatory violations, negligence in taking preventive measures, or reckless actions. Unsafe behaviors are linked to factors such as stress, fatigue, and teamwork failures. Materials and Methods:This cross-sectional study included all pre-hospital emergency service staff. By using convenience sampling, 284 questionnaires were completed. Survey instruments included the Mearnz Unsafe Behavior Scale, Cohen Perceived Stress Scale, Michilson Fatigue Scale, and Patterson Teamwork Scale. Data analysis included descriptive statistics, t-tests, one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), Pearson's correlation coefficient, and linear regression using SPSS 16.0 software. Results: The participants' mean score for unsafe behavior was 15.80 ± 4.77. Variables such as partner trust and shared mental models (PTSMM), physical fatigue, age, type of shift, employment status, and overtime hours per month had a significant impact on the general unsafe behavior of pre-hospital emergency staff (p<0.01). Also, variables including mild task conflict (MTC), employment status, partner trust, and shared mental models (PTSMM) significantly influenced unsafe behavior under incentives among these staff (p<0.01). Conclusion: Work-related factors such as stress, fatigue, and failure in teamwork affect the unsafe behaviors of pre-hospital emergency workers. Establishing a culture of reporting problems and conducting surveys among staff to enhance safety and mitigate these behaviors is imperative. A significant role can be played in reducing unsafe and dangerous behaviors by developing educational programs to improve teamwork skills, schedule appropriate shifts, manage fatigue, and provide safety training to younger staff.

“…Patient safety is also affected by social, economic, and cultural factors. Studies report that in developed countries, factors such as transparency, communication, teamwork, and strong leadership characterize patient safety, while in others, factors such as insufficient personnel, physical constraints, inadequate materials, and hygiene problems lead to unsafe and undesirable situations in health care delivery (Listiowati et al, 2023;Soola et al, 2022).…”

Aim: This study aimed to explore the experiences of emergency nurses regarding patient safety. Method:This study, with a qualitative design, was carried out between December 2022 and March 2023 in the emergency department of a university hospital. We conducted in-depth interviews with a purposive sample of 14 emergency nurses. The data were analyzed using thematic analysis.Results: Of the participants, 50% were male. Their age ranged from 25 to 40 years (mean 32.2, SD=5.99). Through the data analysis, two themes and three sub-themes were identified: (I) difficulties specific to the emergency department, (II) factors affecting patient safety the in emergency department. Conclusion:Nurses stated that they often took individual and immediate preventive measures regarding patient safety. However, rather than individual prevention, strategies and plans are required to create an institutional patient safety culture. At the same time, administrators should adopt a proactive approach to patient safety and create a supportive environment for nurses regarding patient safety.

“…Over the past decade, many interventions have been used to mitigate AEs and improve patient safety [2][3][4]. Among these strategies, improving patient safety competency is vital in timely reporting and adopting preventive measures for AEs and ensuring patient safety [14,15]. As one of the largest groups of medical workers, nurses play a vital role in providing safe and quality patient care.…”

Although, strengthening patient safety competencies in nursing has been emphasized for enhancing quality care and patient safety. However, little is known about the association of nurses’ perceptions of patient safety competency with adverse nurse outcomes in Iranian hospitals. This study aimed to measure nurses’ levels of patient safety competency in the hospitals of Iran and examines the relationship between patient safety competency with the occurrence and reporting of adverse events (AEs). This cross-sectional research was applied in eight teaching hospitals in Tehran, Iran, between August and December 2021. A sample of 511 nurses was randomly selected using the table of random numbers. The validated Patient Safety Competency Self-Evaluation questionnaire was used. Furthermore, two questions were used to measure the incidence and reporting of AEs. Data analysis was performed using descriptive statistics, independent t-tests, and two binary logistic regression models through SPSS version 24.0. The mean patient safety competency score was 3.34 (SD = 0.74) out of 5.0; 41.5% of nurses rated their patient safety competency as less than 3. Among subscales, “skills of patient safety” scores were the highest, and “knowledge of patient safety” scores were the lowest. Nurses with higher Knowledge and Attitude scores were less likely to experience the occurrence of AEs (OR = 1.50 and OR = 0.58, respectively). Regarding AEs reporting, nurses with higher Skill and Attitude scores were 2.84 and 1.67 times, respectively, more likely to report AEs (OR = 2.84 and OR = 3.44, respectively). Our results provide evidence that enhancing PSC leads to reduced incidence of AEs and increased nurses’ performance in reporting. Therefore, it is recommended that managers of hospitals should enhance the patient safety competency of nurses in incidents and reporting of patient safety adverse outcomes through quality expansion and training. Additionally, researchers should carry out further research to confirm the findings of the current study and identify interventions that would strengthen patient safety competencies and reduce the occurrence of AEs, and rise their reporting among nurses.
