Abstract:
Objective:To understand the current status of patient safety culture (PSC) of nurses in psychiatric department in China and to provide references for nursing managers to formulate effective nursing measures to improve the quality of psychiatric nursing services.Methods:Using the convenient sampling method, a total of 2 624 nurses in psychiatric department from 7 regions of China were selected as the research objects in September 2019. The Self-designed General Information Questionnaire and Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture (HSOPSC) were used for the survey. Multiple linear regression analysis was performed on the influencing factors of "adverse event reporting frequency" and "general perception of patient safety" of nurses in psychiatric department.Results:A total of 2 624 questionnaires were returned. The positive response rate of all dimensions of HSOPSC was from 43.33% to 83.31%. The results of multiple linear regression analysis showed that personnel allocation, non-punitive response to errors, feedback and communication to errors, shift and department transfer were the influencing factors of adverse event reporting frequency ( P<0.05) , together explaining 15.8% of the total variation. Personnel allocation, organizational learning and continuous improvement, non-punitive responses to errors, managers' expectations and actions to promote safety, feedback and communication on errors, management support for patient safety and shifts and department transfers were influencing factors for patient safety culture ( P<0.05) , together explaining 41.2% of the total variation. Conclusions:The cognitive level of psychiatric nurses on PSC needs to be improved. It is recommended that nursing managers intervene in three areas of personnel allocation of psychiatric nurses, non-punitive reactions to errors and frequency of adverse event reports, so as to improve psychiatric nurses' recognition of PSC, thereby improving the quality of psychiatric nursing services.
