Abstract
Introduction: It appears that the ability to maintain patient safety is influenced by the culture of patient safety. This study aimed to determine the status of patient safety culture and its relationship with the competence of maintaining patient safety among nurses working in hospitals affiliated with Qom University of Medical Sciences.
Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 338 nurses employed in the hospitals of Qom University of Medical Sciences were examined using quota sampling and random methods in each hospital in 1402. The instruments utilized included patient safety culture and patient safety competency questionnaires. Data were analyzed using SPSS-21 software, applying Pearson correlation and multivariate linear regression, with a significance level set at 0.05.
Results: The patient safety culture among the studied sample was found to be at an average level. Results from the multivariate linear regression analysis indicated that the frequency of reporting events and the effectiveness of communication and feedback about errors were significantly related to patient safety competence (P < 0.05). Specifically, for each unit increase in the average frequency of reporting incidents, patient safety competence increased by 0.19; similarly, for each unit increase in average communication and feedback regarding errors, patient safety competence increased by 0.22.
Conclusion: The patient safety culture is currently at an average level. Given the established relationship between patient safety culture and the competence to maintain patient safety, there is a need for interventions aimed at enhancing patient safety culture within hospitals.
