“…28 Consistent with our results indicating years of professional experience are negatively associated with a perception of patient safety, a study conducted in an NICU in Barcelona found professionals with 5 to 10 years working in the specialty and profession were the least likely to recognize errors. 32 It is possible that health professionals with more experience may have ingrained behaviors and values that may not include reporting of adverse events and the possibility of improvements in the safety culture. 8,25,31 In contrast, studies conducted in hospitals in China and Lithuania found the most positive perception of safety culture was among more experienced professionals.…”

Background: Patient safety culture is influenced by factors such as professional category, experience, and age. Understanding these factors can inform initiatives to improve safety. Purpose: To evaluate the relationship between sociodemographic and occupational characteristics on health professionals' perception of patient safety culture. Methods: A cross-sectional study involving 514 health care professionals from Brazilian neonatal intensive care units was conducted using the Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture. Results: Several sociodemographic and occupational characteristics were associated with higher perceptions of safety culture, including older age and having a higher level of education. Conclusion: Sociodemographic and occupational factors may influence the safety culture in neonatal intensive care units and should be considered when developing and implementing strategies to improve safety.

“…In this study, based on the findings achieved by the basic CREAM method, the highest CFPt is related to the step of medicine administration to the patient (0.056). In the study of Ruiz et al, after analyzing the medication errors in a neonatal ward of a hospital, it was found that the highest reported rate of medication errors was related to error in medicine administration to patient (68.1%), followed by error in prescription of medicine (39.5%) (26). Also, in another study, it was found that in the process of medication, most errors occurred at the time of prescription and medicine administration to the patient (27).…”

Background: Medication process is a powerful instrument for curing patients. Obeying the commands of this process has an important role in the treatment and provision of care to patients. Medication error, as a complicated process, can occur in any stage of this process, and to avoid it, appropriate decision-making, cognition, and performance of the hospital staff are needed. Objectives: The present study aimed at identifying and evaluating the nature and reasons of human errors in the medication process in a hospital using the extended CREAM method. Methods: This was a qualitative and cross-sectional study conducted in a hospital in Hamadan. In this study, first, the medication process was selected as a critical issue based on the opinions of experts, specialists, and experienced individuals in the nursing and medical departments. Then, the process was analyzed into relative steps and substeps using the method of HTA and was evaluated using extended CREAM technique considering the probability of human errors. Results: Based on the findings achieved through the basic CREAM method, the highest CFPt was in the step of medicine administration to patients (0.056). Moreover, the results revealed that the highest CFPt was in the substeps of calculating the dose of medicine and determining the method of prescription and identifying the patient (0.0796 and 0.0785, respectively). Also, the least CFPt was related to transcribing the prescribed medicine from file to worksheet of medicine (0.0106). Conclusions: Considering the critical consequences of human errors in the medication process, holding pharmacological retraining classes, using the principles of executing pharmaceutical orders, increasing medical personnel, reducing working overtime, organizing work shifts, and using error reporting systems are of paramount importance.

“…For example, in the USA, there are more than 30 suicidal attempts for each suicide death [ 10 ]. In Africa, the overall magnitude of suicide ranged from 2–3% [range 0.7–6.0%] [ 11 , 13 ]. In Ethiopia, the prevalence of suicidal behaviors ranged from 0.9 to 60% [ 14 – 16 ] for suicidal ideation, 3.8 to 27% [ 14 , 17 ] for suicidal attempt, and 13.96% per 100,000 [ 18 , 19 ] for completed suicide.…”

“…Factors such as psychiatric disorder [ 20 ], hopelessness, and substance use were also associated with completed suicide [ 1 , 3 , 5 , 20 ]. Suicide is an emergency psychiatric problem [ 9 , 20 , 21 ] and need an urgent treatment; yet, stigma, taboo, laws, and other associated cultural criticism affect the societies’ attitude and practice toward the identification and treatment of suicidal behaviors [ 3 , 5 , 8 , 9 , 13 , 21 ]. In spite of the high burden of suicidal behaviors, developing countries [ 11 , 13 ] like Ethiopia give little research attention, and the available individual studies also reported inconsistent results, which need comprehensive up-to-date information.…”

Prevalence of suicidal ideation, suicidal attempt and completed suicide in Ethiopia: a systematic review and meta-analysis protocol

BackgroundSuicide is an emergency psychiatric problem that needs an urgent intervention. Ethiopia, as a nation, has been experiencing high burden of suicide. Cultural taboo, stigma, and criticism associated with suicidal behaviors affect the communities’ attitude and practice toward suicide and its help-seeking behaviors. Thus, this systematic review and meta-analysis will provide the pooled prevalence of suicidal ideation, suicidal attempt, and completed suicide in Ethiopia.MethodsThis review protocol is designed according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis Protocols (PRISMA-P 2015 Guidelines). Studies reporting the prevalence of suicidal ideation, suicidal attempt, and completed suicide will be included from the databases of PubMed/MEDLINE, Cochrane Library, SCOPUS, EMBASE, and Web of Sciences. The reference lists of retrieved articles, Google Scholar, and national health database reporting suicide will be also searched. No time and language restrictions will be imposed on the search strategy. The methodological quality of included studies will be assessed using the Joanna Briggs Institute critical appraisal tool. The heterogeneity between studies will be measured by the index of heterogeneity (I2 statistics) test. Funnel plots and Egger’s test will be used to determine publication bias. Moreover, subgroup and sensitivity analyses will be carried out. The pooled prevalence of suicidal ideation, suicidal attempt, and completed suicide will be calculated by metaprop command using random effects model with the Dersimonian and Laird method.DiscussionThis systematic review and meta-analysis aims to explore the available epidemiological evidences about suicidal ideation, suicidal attempt, and completed suicide. The final results of this review will be submitted for publication in a peer-reviewed journal and presented at conferences. The review of the results will help to raise awareness about the burden of suicidal ideation, suicidal attempt, and completed suicide in Ethiopia.Systematic review registrationPROSPERO CRD42018112836
