Abstract:
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to identify experiences of incidents and to explore the perceptions of Patient Safety Culture between two groups using nursing homes in Korea; employees and patients and their families. METHODS: In 2010 in-depth interviews were used to collect data from 56 participants (38 employees, and 18 patients and family members). The data were analyzed using inductive content analysis. RESULTS: The analysis scheme resulting from employees' data consisted of 7 categories and 22 subcategories, after 216 significant statements were analyzed and categorized. The 7 categories were education and training (24.5%), working attitude (23.6%), organizational system (19.0%), job satisfaction (18.5%), institutional environment (6.5%), manager leadership (4.2%), and work climate (4.7%). The analysis scheme resulting from patient and family data consisted of 6 categories and 7 subcategories after 24 significant statements were analyzed and categorized. Education and training among categories of employees were excluded. CONCLUSION: These findings indicate that an evaluation tool for patient safety culture should be developed for nursing homes in Korea.
