“…This result is in line with that of the study by Jung Hee Kim et 2021). The results of their studies also revealed that the patient safety culture of the subjects was at the moderate level (22)(23)(24). Also, the study by Dolatabadi et al (2021) reported the safety culture of nurses was at a weak level (1).…”

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.

Background Patient safety is the most important issue in the healthcare system. To minimize errors in patient care, this study was conducted to investigate the impact of storytelling training on patient safety culture among nurses at an educational medical center of the Iran University of Medical Sciences. Methods This was a semi experimental study with a pretest, posttest, and follow-up design conducted in 2023 at Firouzgar Educational Hospital to investigate the impact of storytelling training on patient safety culture among nurses. The study involved 64 nursing staff in selected hospitals who were randomly divided into two groups: an intervention group and a control group. The intervention group received six storytelling sessions on patient safety, while the control group received no intervention. Patient safety culture data were collected using the Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture questionnaire before, after, and one month after the storytelling sessions. The data were analyzed and compared using SPSS software version16. Result Patient safety culture in the intervention group was significantly greater than that in the control group (P > 0.001). The effect size of the intervention on patient safety culture was 0.159, indicating a high impact of the intervention on this variable, as this value was greater than 0.08. The highest impact was observed for the training and skills dimension (0.185), and the lowest impact was observed for the staff dimension (0.49). Conclusions By recognizing the impact of storytelling on safety culture, this study revealed that hospitals can implement strategies to harness the power of narratives to improve patient safety culture among staff. By sharing real-life experiences, hospitals can cultivate a culture that prioritizes patient safety and quality of care. Application to Practice: This study suggested the implementation of comprehensive knowledge transfer programs, including storytelling, to enhance patient safety culture among nurses.

Background Medication safety competence is very important as one of the clinical skills among nursing students to provide safe nursing care. The lack of medication safety competence in nursing students leads to occurrence of medication errors subsequently jeopardizing patient safety. Thus, the present study was conducted to investigate safe nursing care and medication safety competence among nursing students in the south of Iran. Methods A descriptive cross-sectional multicenter study was conducted from September to December 2022. The research population included nursing students of three universities of medical sciences in Fars Province, Southern Iran. A total of 310 nursing students who were selected through convenience sampling participated in the study. The data collection instruments consisted of a demographics survey, Medication Safety Competence Scale (MSCS), and a Safe Nursing Care Scale (SNCS). The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics (absolute and relative frequency, mean and standard deviation) and inferential statistics (Independent t-test, Analysis of variance and Pearson correlation coefficient). The data were analyzed in SPSS 23 and the level of significance was considered 0.05. Results The mean age of the participants was 22.53 ± 1.69 years. The total mean scores for medication safety competence and safe nursing care were found to be 111.97 ± 11.85 and 105.12 ± 11.64, respectively. There was a statistically significant positive correlation between safe nursing care and medication safety competence (r = 0.084, P < 0.001). Conclusion The mean scores of nursing students’ medication safety competence and safe nursing care were at an average level. To maintain patient safety, nursing instructors and managers are recommended to employ appropriate strategies to improve medication safety competence and safe nursing care in nursing students.
