Abstract:
Objective To investigate perceptions of patient safety culture(PSC) among nurses in tertiary hospitals in Kunming. Methods Totally 2629 nurses were recruited by convenience sampling method from 7 tertiary hospi-tals in Kunming between July 2015 to January 2016. Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture (HSOPS) was used to assess PSC. Results The top three superior dimensions of PSC were Organizational Learning-Continuous Im-provement(86.60%),Teamwork within Hospital Units(83.34%) and Feedback and Communication about Error(75.98%). The last three inferior dimensions of PSC wereNonpunitive response to error(23.74%),Staffing(33.71%) and Teamwork across hospital units(49.45%). There were significant differences in certain items among nurses with different educational level,academic title,working hour per week(P<0.05). Conclusion Establishing nonpunitive re-sponse culture,reasonably arranging staffing and working hours,and encouraging nurses with high educational level and title to play their full role,are critical measures to improve patient safety culture in hospital.
