A survey on the effects of patient safety training programs based on SBAR and FMEA techniques on the level of self-efficacy and observance of patient safety culture in Iran hospital, Shiraz in 2022-2023.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE

Patient safety and medical personnel self-efficacy are among the main factors involved in providing quality health services. Moreover, safety culture in an organization is considered one of the most critical factors regarding patients' safety. Therefore, the present study aimed to determine the effects of patient safety programs based on Situation, Background, Assessment, Recommendation (SBAR) and Failure Model Effects Analysis (FMEA) techniques on self-efficacy and patient safety culture in Iran Hospital of Shiraz in 2022-2023.

MATERIALS AND METHODS

This two-stage quasi-experimental study was conducted in 2022-2033. Considering inclusion criteria, the present study included 80 nurses working in Iran Hospital. The participants were divided into groups of SBAR (40 participants) and FMEA (40 participants). All the data were collected using a Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture questionnaire and Sherer General Self-Efficacy Scale. Then, the collected data were analyzed using SPSS 13, Fisher's exact test, paired -test, and independent -test with a significant level of < 0.05.

RESULTS

The mean score of total patient safety culture between the two groups was insignificant before the intervention ( = 0.58). However, it was more significant in the FMEA group than the SBAR group after the intervention ( < 0/05). In addition, the mean self-efficacy score between the two groups was insignificant before the intervention ( = 0.80). However, after the intervention, the mean score of the FMEA group was significantly higher than the SBAR group ( < 0.05).

CONCLUSION

According to the findings of this study, there is a meaningful relationship between patient safety training programs based on SBAR and FMEA techniques on patient safety and self-efficacy of nurses; however, FMEA training has more positive effects on self-efficacy and patient safety compared to other techniques. As a result, these techniques, along with other plans, are recommended to authorities in order to help improve patient safety.
