Improving residents' patient safety behavior should be a priority in graduate medical education to ensure the safety of current and future patients. Supportive learning and patient safety climates may foster this behavior. This study examined the extent to which residents' self-reported patient safety behavior can be explained by the learning climate and patient safety climate of their clinical departments.
The authors collected learning climate data from clinical departments in the Netherlands that used the web-based Dutch Residency Educational Climate Test between September 2015 and October 2016. They also gathered data on those departments' patient safety climate and on residents' self-reported patient safety behavior. They used generalized linear mixed models and multivariate general linear models to test for associations in the data.
In total, 1,006 residents evaluated 143 departments in 31 teaching hospitals. Departments' patient safety climate was associated with residents' overall self-reported patient safety behavior (regression coefficient [b] = 0.33; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.14 to 0.52). Departments' learning climate was not associated with residents' patient safety behavior (b = 0.01; 95% CI = -0.17 to 0.19), although it was with their patient safety climate (b = 0.73; 95% CI = 0.69 to 0.77).
Departments should focus on establishing a supportive patient safety climate to improve residents' patient safety behavior. Building a supportive learning climate might help to improve the patient safety climate and, in turn, residents' patient safety behavior.
在住院医师医学教育中,提高住院医师的患者安全行为应该是优先事项,以确保当前和未来患者的安全。支持性的学习和患者安全氛围可能会促进这种行为。本研究旨在考察住院医师自我报告的患者安全行为在多大程度上可以用其临床科室的学习氛围和患者安全氛围来解释。
作者从荷兰使用基于网络的荷兰住院医师教育氛围测试的临床科室收集学习氛围数据,时间为 2015 年 9 月至 2016 年 10 月。他们还收集了这些科室的患者安全氛围以及住院医师自我报告的患者安全行为的数据。他们使用广义线性混合模型和多变量线性模型来检验数据中的关联。
共有 1006 名住院医师评估了 31 家教学医院的 143 个科室。科室的患者安全氛围与住院医师整体自我报告的患者安全行为相关(回归系数[b]=0.33;95%置信区间[CI]=0.14 至 0.52)。科室的学习氛围与住院医师的患者安全行为无关(b=0.01;95%CI=-0.17 至 0.19),尽管它与患者安全氛围有关(b=0.73;95%CI=0.69 至 0.77)。
科室应该专注于建立一个支持性的患者安全氛围,以提高住院医师的患者安全行为。营造一个支持性的学习氛围可能有助于改善患者安全氛围,进而改善住院医师的患者安全行为。
