Abstract

The present study aims to measure the level of patient safety by investigating employees awareness of patient safety in a general hospital, thereby establishing the foundation for developing a patient safety culture. This study analyzed 322 completed questionnaires collected from employees of a general hospital. The survey was conducted on all employees using a structured questionnaire from July 1 to September 29, 2021. The survey results were statistically analyzed using SPSS Statistics Version 26, and the current patient safety level was evaluated comparing the results to AHRQ (2014). Through this study, in order to establish a patient safety culture in medical institutions where various occupations work together, it can be seen that non-punitive responses to patient safety error reporting are strengthened and open communication is important, and leaders should create and support an environment in which patient safety can be the priority.
