Surgical nurses work in demanding environments and play a vital role in maintaining and promoting patient safety due to the nature of their work. Hence it is important to know their attitudes toward patient safety.
This research aimed to evaluate the patient safety attitudes of Turkish surgical nurses.
This was a descriptive cross-sectional and questionnaire research. Data were collected from August 2015-January 2016 using the staff information form and the safety attitudes questionnaire (SAQ). The study population included 231 nurses who work in operating rooms, surgical intensive care, and surgical wards of four hospitals in western Turkey. Data were analyzed with frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, the Mann Whitney U test, and Kruskal Wallis tests using the SPSS 18.
The teamwork and safety climate scores of operating room nurses were higher than the scores of surgical intensive care and ward nurses. The stress recognition scores of surgical ward nurses were the highest, followed by the scores of the operating room and surgical intensive care nurses. The perception of management scores of operating room nurses was higher than those of surgical ward nurses, and nurses ages 18-30 were higher than those of nurses ages 31-40. None of the six domains of safety culture, including job satisfaction, teamwork, safety climate, the perception of management, stress recognition, and working conditions achieved a positive mean score over 75.
This research paper provides an evaluation of the safety attitudes of surgical nurses. Findings can provide information for healthcare leaders to improve the safety culture.
外科护士工作环境要求高，因其工作性质，在维护和促进患者安全方面发挥着至关重要的作用。因此，了解他们对患者安全的态度很重要。
本研究旨在评估土耳其外科护士对患者安全的态度。
这是一项描述性横断面问卷调查研究。2015年8月至2016年1月期间，使用员工信息表和安全态度问卷（SAQ）收集数据。研究人群包括在土耳其西部四家医院的手术室、外科重症监护室和外科病房工作的231名护士。使用SPSS 18软件对数据进行频率、百分比、均值、标准差、曼-惠特尼U检验和克鲁斯卡尔-沃利斯检验分析。
手术室护士的团队合作和安全氛围得分高于外科重症监护室和病房护士。外科病房护士的压力认知得分最高，其次是手术室和外科重症监护室护士。手术室护士对管理的认知得分高于外科病房护士，18 - 30岁护士的得分高于31 - 40岁护士。安全文化的六个领域，包括工作满意度、团队合作、安全氛围、对管理的认知、压力认知和工作条件，均未达到平均得分超过75的积极水平。
本研究论文对外科护士的安全态度进行了评估。研究结果可为医疗保健领导者改善安全文化提供信息。
