Objectives: This study was conducted descriptively so as to determine the
relationship between the patient security culture and medical error attitudes
of the nurses.
Methods: The population of the study
was conducted between the dates that the data were collected in the hospitals in
the eastern Turkey of 82 nurses working in children's services. The sampling
selection method was not used in this study, but 68 nurses that were accessed between
the dates and that accepted to participate in the study voluntarily were included
in the sampling of the study. “Descriptive Information Form”, “Patient Security
Culture Scale” (PSCS) and “Medical Error Attitude Scale” (MEAS), in which the
socio-demographic information of the nurses is assessed, were used as data
collection tools in the study.
Results:
Nurses received an average score of 3.71±0.27 from PSCS, and an average score
of 3.02±0.44 from MEAS. A significant
relationship was determined between the education status of the nurses and
their PSCS total score (p<0.05). As a result of the correlation analysis it
was determined that there was a positively significant relationship between the
PSCS score and MEAS scores of the nurses, and as their PSCS scores increased,
their MEAS scored increased as well.
Conclusion:Evaluation of the current status by conducting regular measurements in regard to patient security in institutions and should be make improvements accordingly. Also, nurses should take responsibility in patient safety and improvement of patient safety culture should be the main priority of the institutions.
