Position on Patient Safety

Patient safety is the basis of high quality health and care. Nurses believe that healthcare workers play an important role in improving patient safety. Patient safety includes infection control, safe handling and management of drugs, safe handling of equipment, safe clinical practice and a safe medical environment. Proper training and education is an important element for the safe development of patients. Head nurse is a supporter of every aspect of patient care. The nurse should notify the patient, the care plan, explain the treatment method and its choice, and immediately notify the side effect ("patient") through the appropriate route or facility.

Objective: To compare the safety culture of Oman patients through the 12 patient safety culture indicators obtained from the hospital patient safety training survey (HSPSC) and to compare the average positive response rate of Oman's safety culture with the US and Taiwan and Lebanon . Methodology This is a cross-sectional study used to measure the performance of HSPSC safety indicators for health care workers representing five secondary and higher hospitals in northern Oman. Participants (n = 398) represent the various occupational names of hospital staff. Analysis was performed using univariate statistics. RESULTS The overall average positive response rate of 12 patients in the safety culture aspect of the THS study in Oman was 58%. Indexes with the highest HSPSC index include "organizational learning and continuous improvement", but "punitive response to errors" is the lowest.

The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the patient safety culture of five general hospitals in Belgium. Safety culture plays an important role in improving the safety of hospitalized patients. The questionnaire of the patient safety culture hospital was distributed to five general hospitals throughout the hospital. It evaluated the aspects of safety culture of 10 patients and two outcomes.
