“…The participants with postgraduate degrees and having 11 years of experience or more showed higher awareness than other groups, the results agreed with study conducted among Jordanian nurses [50]. Studies described that when experience and education increases, hospital quality of service also increase [14,26].…”

Background Adequate incident reporting practices for clinical incident among nurses and even all healthcare providers in clinical practice settings is crucial to enhance patient safety and improve the quality of care delivery. This study aimed to investigate the level of awareness of incident reporting practices and identify the barriers that impact incident reporting among Jordanian nurses. Methods A descriptive design using a cross-sectional survey was employed among 308 nurses in 15 different hospitals in Jordan. Data collection was conducted between November 2019 and July 2020 using an Incident Reporting Scale. Results The participants showed a high level of awareness of the incident reporting with a mean score of 7.3 (SD = 2.5), representing 94.8% of the highest score. Nurses perceived their reporting practices at the medium level, with a mean score of 2.23 out of 4. The main reporting barriers included worrying about disciplinary actions, fearing being blamed, and forgetting to make a report. In regard to awareness of incident reporting, there were statistically significant differences in the mean for total awareness of the incident reporting system scores according to the type of hospital (p < .005*). In regard to self-perceived reporting practices, nurses working in accredited hospitals demonstrated statistically significant differences in self-perceived reporting practices (t = 0.62, p < .005). Conclusions The current results provide empirical results about perceived incident reporting practices and perceived barriers to reporting frequently. Recommendations are made to urge nursing policymakers and legislators to provide solutions for those barriers, such as managing staffing issues, nursing shortage, nurses’ empowerment, and fear of disciplinary actions by front-line nurse managers.

“…et al (2018), Asadi et al (2019), Al-Shyyab et al (2023), Najar et al Aouicha et al (2021), and Buchenek et al (2023), teamwork in organizational units obtained the highest score(23, 28,(30)(31)(32).Their results are consistent with the results of the present study.The results also revealed a statistically signi cant relationship between safety culture, level of education, and employment history of emergency department nurses. In the study byMalak et al (2022) revealed a statistically signi cant relationship between the patient safety culture and the level of education of emergency nurses in Jordanian hospitals(33). Alquwez et al (2018) also obtained similar results in their study(34), which is consistent with the results of the present study.…”

Aims: The present study aimed to evaluate the relationship between safety culture and the quality of patient handover between the ambulance and emergency. Background: Evaluating the patient safety culture significantly affects the quality of patient handover, medical, and care services in different hospital units, especially the emergency department. Methods: The present correlational study was conducted on all nurses working in the emergency departments of educational-medical centers (N=220) and medical emergency personnel of Ardabil city (N=92) using the census method. The data were collected using the Leif et al. (2018) Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Questionnaire and the Golling et al. (2022) Quality of Patient Handover between Ambulance and Emergency Department Questionnaire. The collected data were analyzed in SPSS software (26) using descriptive statistics, independent t-test, analysis of variance, Pearson correlation coefficients, and linear regression logistic model. Results: The results revealed that the quality of patient safety culture in emergency nurses (90.5%) and emergency medical personnel (89.1%) was at a moderate level. The mean patient safety culture in emergency nurses (17.75±151.43) was higher than in emergency medical personnel (148.37±18.48) and this difference was statistically significant (P<0.04). The quality of patient handover among emergency nurses (71.7%) and emergency medical personnel (83.7%) was also moderate and it was statistically significant (P<0.04). There was a positive and significant correlation between the patient safety culture and the quality of patient handover between the ambulance and emergency department (P<0.01). The stepwise multiple linear regression model showed that "teamwork between organizational units" was a stronger predictor than other variables in the quality of patient handover between the ambulance and emergency department. Conclusion: The results revealed that by increasing the level of patient safety culture in emergency nurses, the quality of patient handover increases. Therefore, it is recommended that the policymakers in the health area take the necessary measures by holding briefing workshops to promote the culture of patient safety and strengthen teamwork among the emergency department personnel.

“…By using this approach, healthcare facilities are better able to anticipate problems, grab opportunities, and maximise efficiency. Strategic management could significantly improve healthcare quality and effectiveness in the Jordanian healthcare system (Malak et al, 2022). This is because hospitals in Jordan operate under the limitations of limited resources and complicated regulatory frameworks.…”

“…The majority of the healthcare in the country is provided by public institutions. These hospitals usually experience shortages of both financial resources and human labour, as well as outdated infrastructure and equipment (Malak et al, 2022). The healthcare system is struggling under the weight of an ageing population and a rise in the incidence of chronic illnesses.…”

This study investigates the strategic management practices of Jordanian hospitals and their effect on hospital performance. The Jordanian healthcare system confronts complex obstacles, including limited resources, fragmented coordination, and rising demand for superior healthcare services. To address these issues, the study investigates the connection between strategic management and hospital performance indicators in an effort to provide actionable insights for enhancing healthcare delivery. The research is based on an exhaustive literature review and secondary data analysis. Prior research demonstrates a positive correlation between strategic management and hospital performance in multiple domains, including financial stability, patient outcomes, and employee satisfaction. The current study, situated in Jordan’s unique context, aims to fill a research void by investigating the applicability of these findings within the Jordanian healthcare environment. The research employs an exploratory methodology and includes qualitative components. Secondary data such as academic papers, reports, and statistical records are analyzed during the data collection process. The data are subjected to a rigorous analysis utilizing statistical methods and thematic classification to uncover patterns and associations. It is anticipated that the study’s findings will shed light on the strategic management practices prevalent in Jordanian hospitals and their effect on performance metrics.
