Abstract

Safety has not been well studied in the long-term care setting. This pilot study assesses staff attitudes regarding safety culture at one 250-bed skilled nursing facility. A valid and reliable Safety Attitudes Questionnaire (SAQ) was administered once to a sample of 51 employees. Nursing staff and other health care staff were generally satisfied with their jobs (42% and 67% had a positive attitude, respectively) but gave low scores to Management (22% and 13%, respectively) and Safety Climate (28% and 33%, respectively). Registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, and nurse management/supervisors received the highest ratings for quality of collaboration and communication (range: 3.6-4.1 on a 5-point Likert scale with 1 = very low, 5 = very high), whereas nurse practitioners and physician assistants received the lowest (range: 2.5-2.9). The SAQ provided insight into employees' safety attitudes and can be used to identify opportunities for improvements in safety.

摘要

长期护理环境中的安全性尚未得到充分研究。这项试点研究评估了一家拥有250张床位的专业护理机构中员工对安全文化的态度。对51名员工样本进行了一次有效且可靠的安全态度调查问卷（SAQ）。护理人员和其他医护人员总体上对工作感到满意（分别有42%和67%持积极态度），但对管理层（分别为22%和13%）和安全氛围（分别为28%和33%）给出的评分较低。注册护士、执业护士以及护士管理/主管在协作与沟通质量方面获得的评分最高（在5分制李克特量表上的范围为3.6 - 4.1，1 = 非常低，5 = 非常高），而执业护士和医师助理获得的评分最低（范围为2.5 - 2.9）。SAQ深入了解了员工的安全态度，可用于识别安全改进的机会。
