Abstract:
Medication administration constitutes a key element of acute care delivery, while errors in the process threaten patient safety. The purpose of the study is to explore patients’ perceptions, attitudes and beliefs about the safety practices utilized by nurses when administering medications. Specifically, the study addresses patients’ perceptions of nurse behaviours regarding safe medicine administration, patient behaviours, patients’ perceptions and nurse behaviours regarding pain medicine, patients’ perceptions of nursing care, and patients’ perceptions of their participation/accountability in

Safety of residents has gained increased popularity in recent years following a report from the Institute of Medicine attributing 98,000 hospital deaths each year to errors by staff.

However, nursing homes lag behind other health care providers in their adoption of a patient safety culture and understanding what factors affect safety in resident care. These insights are needed to ensure that nursing home residents receive

Abstract:
Every year, large numbers of patients in National Health Service (NHS) care suffer because of a patient safety incident. The National Patient Safety Agency (NPSA) collects large amounts of data describing individual incidents. As well as being described by categorical and numerical variables, each incident is described using free text. The aim of the work was to find quite small groups of similar incidents, which were of types that were previously unknown to the NPSA. A model of the text was produced, such that the position of each incident reflected its meaning to the greatest extent possible

Abstract:
Safe, high-quality health care requires an open, transparent, and just culture where people are willing and have the opportunity to discuss errors and system problems and to do something about them. There is paucity of research in relation to safety issues in health care. Objective: To identify the components of a safe culture and measure staff’s attitudes to those components in an area health service. Method: A mixed mode method comprising qualitative and quantitative measures was used. A 60-item survey comprising a likert response scale and measuring safety attitudes and values was administr

Abstract:
Work environment influences the effectiveness of care for patients in any healthcare setting. It is even more important in settings such as the neonatal ICU (NICU) where this project took place. When the environment is not healthy, communication may suffer and result in poor patient outcomes and, family, patient, and staff dissatisfaction. The purpose of this quality improvement project was to understand how the implementation of the TeamSTEPPS program, for nurses in the NICU, could impact the safety culture as measured by the AACN Healthy Work Environment (HWE) tool.

Il est préconisé de développer le climat de sécurité (CS) pour améliorer la sécurité des soins. Dans cette thèse, nous essaierons de préciser l’utilisation du concept de CS pour l’évaluation d'interventions d’amélioration de la sécurité des soins.Les objectifs des travaux présentés étaient d’élaborer un questionnaire de CS en français et d’évaluer l’impact de l’analyse de vignettes d’événements indésirables associés aux soins (EIAS) sur le CS d’unités de soins en milieu hospitalier.Ces travaux ont montré la faisabilité de mesurer le CS avec une version française du questionnaire américain, le

Abstract:
Bakgrund: Patientnämnden är en förtroendenämnd dit patienter och anhöriga kan vända sig för att lämna synpunkter och klagomål på den vård de mottagit. Patientnämnden arbetar bland annat med att sammanställa de inkomna ärendena och återkopplar tillbaka till hälso- och sjukvården för att främja patientsäkerheten. Hur patienter och anhöriga använder sig av Patientnämnden för att rapportera vårdskador är ett relativt outforskat område i dagens läge. Syfte: Syftet med studien var att undersöka ärenden som inkommit till Patientnämnden i ett landsting i Mellansverige under 2015 för att identifiera, a
