Relation between Health Quality Perceptions and Patient Safety Cultures of Nurses Working in Surgical Clinics

Abstract

Objective: The study was carried out to determine the effect of health quality perceptions of nurses working in surgical clinics on patient safety culture. Materials and Methods: The research is descriptive type and correlational. The sample of the research consisted of 237 nurses. Personal Information Form created by the researchers, Patient Safety Culture Scale (PSCS), and Quality Perception Scale (QPS) were used as data collection tools in the study. Data were collected between January 2021 and February 2022. Results: The total mean score obtained from PSCS was found to be 3.36±0.21 in the study. In the study, it was found that the total mean score obtained from the QPS was 82.15±6.80. A positive, moderate correlation was found between the total score of PSCS and the total score of QPS (r= 0.407, p<0.01). Conclusions: It was determined that the increase in the quality perceptions of the nurses working in the surgical clinics increased the patient safety culture. It was observed that nurses who care for surgical patients attach importance to patient safety culture, especially in terms of patient benefit. It is recommended to organize in-service training programs to increase both quality perceptions and patient safety culture of healthcare professionals.
