Patient safety is defined as an activity that minimizes and removes possible errors and injuries to patients. A number of factors have been found to influence patient safety management, including the facilities available in the practice, communication and collaboration, education regarding patient safety and generic conditions. This study tested a theoretical model of patient safety interventions based on safety antecedents.
Medical professionals were surveyed using a questionnaire developed by Gaal et al. The results were analyzed with SPSS 20 and AMOS. A hypothetical model of direct and indirect effects on patient safety in a primary care environment was created and analyzed using structural equation modeling (SEM).
SEM proved to be an effective tool to analyse safety in primary care. The facilities in the practice appear to have no significant influence on patient safety management in the case of female respondents, those below mean age, those who are not GPs (general practitioner) and respondents not working in counselling centres.
The integrated safety model described in the study can improve patient safety management.
患者安全被定义为一种旨在将患者可能发生的错误和损伤最小化并消除的活动。已经发现许多因素会影响患者安全管理,包括实践中可用的设施、沟通与协作、患者安全和一般条件方面的教育。本研究基于安全前因测试了一个患者安全干预的理论模型。
使用 Gaal 等人开发的问卷对医疗专业人员进行了调查。使用 SPSS 20 和 AMOS 对结果进行了分析。使用结构方程模型(SEM)创建并分析了初级保健环境中对患者安全具有直接和间接影响的假设模型。
SEM 被证明是分析初级保健安全性的有效工具。在女性受访者、年龄低于平均值的受访者、非全科医生(GP)的受访者以及不在咨询中心工作的受访者中,实践中的设施似乎对患者安全管理没有显著影响。
本研究中描述的综合安全模型可以提高患者安全管理。
