The Relationship between Patient Safety Culture and Adverse Events among Nurses in Tehran Teaching Hospitals in 2019

Abstract

Results: Among the dimensions of patient safety culture, the highest mean score was related to the dimension of "organizational learning" and the lowest score was in the area of "information exchange and transmission". Between 35.4% and 51.9% of nurses estimated that they had experienced one of six adverse events in the past year. Logistic regression results indicated that dimensions of management support for patient safety, general understanding of patient safety culture, teamwork within organizational units, communication and feedback about errors, staffing issues and information exchange and transmission were significant predictors for adverse events (P<0/05).
