“…The main difference was that the composite 'Teamwork across hospital units' merged with 'Hospital handoffs and transitions' and 'Communication openness' merged with 'Feedback and communication about error' except an item (C1). The studies [21,28,29] showed the same conflations. The items B3r and B4r, A7, A10r loaded slightly more on a new composite which was named 'Adequate procedures and systems for safety' instead of 'Supervisor/Manager expectations & actions promoting safety', 'Staffing', 'Overall perceptions for safety', respectively.…”

Background: Safety culture has been considered to be as one of the most crucial premises for the further development of patient safety in healthcare.Objective: To study the psychometric properties of a translated Greek version of Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture (G-HSOPSC) of the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) in the Greek healthcare settings.Methods: Factor analysis (FA) was performed to examine the applicability of the factor structure of the original questionnaire to the Greek data. In addition to the previously mentioned, internal consistency with Cronbach's coefficient alpha and construct validity was evaluated.Results: Ten factors with 37 items were extracted by FA, with acceptable Cronbach's coefficients alpha and good construct validity. The factors jointly explained 62% of the variance in the responses. Five items were removed from the original version of the questionnaire. The composition of the factors was similar to that of the original questionnaire and five items moved to other factors. All the composites consisted of two to eight items. Conclusions:The G-HSOPSC depicted sound psychometric properties for the evaluation of patient safety culture and therefore it is a reliable tool for use in research.

“…The fi nal structure of the tools does differ. This corroborates the need to adapt the tool to each country according to local ways of being, thinking, behaving and communicating [15]. Furthermore, HSOPSC does not calculate an overall score of patient safety culture.…”

Objectives: Our study aimed to investigate patient safety attitudes and perceptions amongst health care providers in Tunisian tertiary care hospitals. No signifi cant differences between physicians and nurses were found for all composites in our study. Methods Conclusion:Patient safety culture remains underdeveloped in our hospital. Leaders must implement a development strategy by creating the culture and commitment needed to identify and solve underlying systemic causes related to patient safety.

“…Secondly, although the internal consistency of the survey was fairly enough, the reliability analysis of individual constructs identified many factors with lower than adequate levels of reliability (alpha < 0.7). This could be partly caused by the factor structure of the HSOPSC model for these items might not fit the data well [26] but also indicate the instability of aspects measured by the instrument, which is linked to professionals' perception of safety at a given time and this, in turn, is extremely subject to change [33]. Designing an optimal model becomes more apparent.…”

Hospital survey on patient safety culture in Ethiopian public hospitals: a cross-sectional study

et al. 2017

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Background: Internationally, patient safety is increasingly seen as a priority area, and improving patient safety highly depends on achieving a culture that supports and encourages health care staffs to report their errors or near misses without fear of punishment. In Ethiopia, however, patient safety culture is a relatively new focus, and little is known regarding the current status of patient safety culture in public hospitals. The purpose of the current study was thus, aimed to assess the views and perceptions of health care professionals about patient safety culture in public hospitals in Ethiopia. Methods: A cross-sectional study, utilizing the 'Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture (HSOPSC)' questionnaire was carried out in 2016 in the Amhara region. A self-administered questionnaire was distributed to the 480 health care staffs, including physicians, nurses, pharmacists, and other clinical and non-clinical staffs. Data were summarized as percentages, means, and standard deviations. ANOVA and chi-square tests were employed to examine statistical differences between health care worker's characteristics and patient safety predictors. We also computed internal consistency coefficients, correlation analysis, and exploratory factor analysis. Results: A total of 410 questionnaires were returned (response rate, 85.4%). The overall patient safety score (46%) and most of the scores related to dimensions were lower than the benchmark scores. The positive response rate of two dimensions ('Teamwork within units' and 'Organizational learning-continuous improvement') received the highest score (each 72%), and the lowest score was attributed to 'Staffing' (26%). Approximately, two thirds of staffs reported at least one event in the past 1 year. Nurses reported better in the overall patient safety score compared with other health care professionals (P = 0.03). The internal consistency of the total survey was fairly satisfied (Cronbach's α = 0.77). Conclusions: There is a severe deficit of patient safety culture in Ethiopian public hospitals. Creating a positive patient safety culture by implementing actions that support all dimensions of safety culture is inevitable. Further research is needed to confirm the applicability of the translated version of the HSOPSC in the Ethiopian hospital settings.
