          Abstract

          Resumen Objetivo 1) Determinar la percepción de seguridad que tienen los/las profesionales sanitarios/as y no sanitarios/as en un hospital universitario; 2) describir el clima de seguridad con sus fortalezas y debilidades; y 3) evaluar las dimensiones valoradas negativamente y establecer áreas de mejoras. Método Estudio transversal y descriptivo realizado en el Hospital Universitario San Juan de Alicante en el que se recogen los resultados de la valoración del nivel de cultura de seguridad utilizando como instrumento de medición la encuesta Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture de la Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality adaptada al español. Resultados La tasa de respuesta fue del 35,36%. El colectivo con mayor participación fue el médico (32,3%), y el servicio más implicado, el de urgencias (9%). El 86,4% tuvo contacto con el paciente. El 50% de los/las trabajadores/as calificó el clima de seguridad entre 6 y 8 puntos. El 82,8% no notificó ningún evento adverso en el último año. Los profesionales con mayor cultura de seguridad fueron los farmacéuticos, y los que tuvieron peor cultura, los celadores. No se identificó ninguna fortaleza de manera global. Hubo dos dimensiones que se comportaron como una debilidad: la 9 (dotación de personal) y la 10 (apoyo de la gerencia a la seguridad del paciente). Conclusiones La percepción sobre seguridad del paciente es buena, aunque mejorable. No se han identificado fortalezas. Las debilidades identificadas son dotación de personal, apoyo de la gerencia a la seguridad del paciente, cambios de turno y transición entre servicios, y percepción de seguridad.

          Abstract Objective 1) To determine the perception of safety of health professionals and non-health professionals in a university hospital; 2) describe the climate of safety with its strengths and weaknesses; 3) evaluate the negatively valued dimensions and establish areas of improvement. Method A cross-sectional and descriptive study carried out at the San Juan University Hospital in Alicante, where the results of the assessment of the safety culture level are collected using Hospital Survey On Patient Safety survey of the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality adapted to Spanish language. Results The response rate was 35.36%. The group with the greatest participation was the physician (32.3%) and the service most involved, urgencies (9%). 86.4% had contact with the patient. 50% of workers rated the safety climate between 6 and 8 points. 82.8% did not report any adverse events in the last year. The professionals with the greatest security culture were the pharmacists and with the worst culture, the guards. No strength was identified globally. There were two dimensions that behaved like a weakness: 9 (staffing) and 10 (management support for patient safety). Conclusions The patient's perception of safety is good, although it can be improved. No strengths have been identified. The weaknesses identified are staffing, management support for patient safety, handoffs and transitions, and safety perception.

            Measuring patient safety climate: a review of surveys.

            Five years ago the Institute of Medicine recommended improving patient safety by addressing organizational cultural issues. Since then, surveys measuring a patient safety climate considered predictive of health outcomes have begun to emerge. This paper compares the general characteristics, dimensions covered, psychometrics performed, and uses in studies of patient safety climate surveys. Systematic literature review. Nine surveys were found that measured the patient safety climate of an organization. All used Likert scales, mostly to measure attitudes of individuals. Nearly all covered five common dimensions of patient safety climate: leadership, policies and procedures, staffing, communication, and reporting. The strength of psychometric testing varied. While all had been used to compare units within or between hospitals, only one had explored the association between organizational climate and patient outcomes. Patient safety climate surveys vary considerably. Achievement of a culture conducive to patient safety may be an admirable goal in its own right, but more effort should be expended on understanding the relationship between measures of patient safety climate and patient outcomes.

              Measuring safety climate in health care.

              To review quantitative studies of safety climate in health care to examine the psychometric properties of the questionnaires designed to measure this construct. A systematic literature review was undertaken to study sample and questionnaire design characteristics (source, no of items, scale type), construct validity (content validity, factor structure and internal reliability, concurrent validity), within group agreement, and level of analysis. Twelve studies were examined. There was a lack of explicit theoretical underpinning for most questionnaires and some instruments did not report standard psychometric criteria. Where this information was available, several questionnaires appeared to have limitations. More consideration should be given to psychometric factors in the design of healthcare safety climate instruments, especially as these are beginning to be used in large scale surveys across healthcare organisations.
