Assessment of patient safety culture among healthcare providers in tertiary hospitals in Malaysia-A cross-sectional study.

ABSTRACT:

Background and aim

Patient safety culture is crucial for every health care institution, as a lack of it may harm patients seeking treatment. The current study aimed to identify the level of safety culture and assess the knowledge, attitude, and perception of patient safety culture among healthcare providers (HCPs') in tertiary hospital settings.

Methods

A cross-sectional study was conducted among HCPs from two private tertiary hospitals in Johor and Selangor. A structured validated questionnaire, including the Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture, was used to assess the level of patient safety culture in these hospitals.

Results

In this study, the calculated sample size was 320, and all 550 eligible participants from both hospitals were approached to participate.
