Objective: The aims of this study are; to analyze the diffrences between sociodemographic characteristics (gender, marital status, education, age, department, type of study, duration of study, total duration of study and total duration of study in the institution) and patient safety culture perception and to determine whether there is a relationship between patient safety dimensions.
Methods: The descriptive and cross-sectional study was conducted in an educational and research hospital and was conducted with 255 nurses / midwives who agreed to participate voluntary in the study. 'Personal Information Form' consisting of 9 questions and 'Patient Safety Culture Scale' (PSCS) consisting of 51 expressions were used for collecting data.
Findings: In the study, the highest patient safety dimension was 'event and error reporting' (2.40) and the lowest dimensions were 'management / leadership' (2.28) and 'employee behavior' (2.29). There was no significant relationship between demographic variables (age, gender, education, marital status) and subscales of PSCS (p> 0.05). There was a significant relationship between management-leadership and working unit and employee education and working conditions (p <0.05).
Conclusion: It is believed that it is important for nurses to be trained to identify threats to patient safety in hospitals, to report errors, to analyze them and to learn lessons from the consequences of errors, as well as to establish effective communication about patient safety.
