“…Regarding time of professional experience, a study shows that professionals with long time of experience tend to be more critical regarding management actions and work environment characteristics 29 , which may justify the lower scores of Working conditions and Management perception found in the present study among those with long time of professional experience. Management perception and Teamwork climate are domains that in uence all the others SAQ domains, except Perception of stress 21 .…”

Background: Safety culture is still a poorly studied subject in primary care and home care, although these settings are considered gateways to access to healthcare. This study aims to evaluate safety culture in primary and home care settings.Methods: An observational cross-sectional study was carried out with 147 professionals from nine districts covered by one home care program and six primary healthcare centres. The Safety Attitudes Questionnaire (SAQ) was used to evaluate the safety culture, in which scores ≥ 75 are indicative of a positive safety culture.Results: A total of 56 (86,1%) questionnaires returned from the home care professionals and 91 (86,6%) from the primary care professionals. The Job satisfaction domain was the best evaluated, achieving a score of 88.8 in home care and 75.1 in primary care. The achievement of high scores on Safety Climate, Job Satisfaction, Teamwork Climate, and Total SAQ was related to male gender, and time of professional experience of three to four years. Perception of management and Working conditions had the lowest scores, and this result was related with long time of experience.Conclusions: It is concluded that professionals working in home care gave higher scores for safety culture in their workplace than the primary care workers.

“…The regression model showed that gender, type of service, and time of professional experience contributed (positively and negatively) to Safety climate, Job satisfaction, Perception of stress, Teamwork climate, Management perception, Working conditions, and Total SAQ. Other studies have similar results and report, from multiple linear regression equations, that demographic factors such as gender, age, and participation in training significantly affect SAQ [26,30].…”

“…A healthcare organization should develop a patient safety culture among its medical staffs and establish its structural interventions to enhance quality and safety. Chi et al [2] pointed out that assessing the existing patient safety culture enables hospital management to have a clear vision of a healthcare organization to identify its strengths and weaknesses. Safety attitudes questionnaire developed by Sexton et al [3] possesses good psychometric properties and great internal consistency, has been validated in different languages, and is considered as an effective tool to assess the patient safety culture from employees' viewpoints in healthcare organizations [2], [4], [5].…”

This study evaluates if physicians and nurses perceive the patient safety culture differently in a stateowned and a private regional hospitals in central Taiwan by using the data of six dimensions of safety attitudes questionnaire in 2016. Mann-Whitney U test for two independent samples is used to compare if the perceptions from physicians and nurses are significantly different with  = 0.05 for both hospitals. The results show that physicians and nurses do not have different perceptions in safety climate, perceptions of management, and job satisfaction statistically. However, physicians and nurses in the private regional hospital have better perceptions in teamwork climate and stress recognition significantly. In contrast, physicians and nurses in the state-owned hospital have better working conditions statistically.  Index Terms-patient safety culture, safety attitudes questionnaire, private regional hospital, state-owned regional hospital, Mann-Whitney U test for two independent samples 232
