Understanding and reframing clinical errors through just culture: protocol for the DECIDE mixed-methods study in Spanish healthcare and community contexts.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Patient safety culture plays a crucial role in reducing clinical errors. By improving healthcare professionals' and patients' understanding of human fallibility and error attribution, patient care can be enhanced, fostering greater engagement from both groups. A Just Culture approach, which balances accountability and learning from errors, is a key factor in fostering this safety culture. The DECIDE Project aims to: (1) examine the conceptualisation of human fallibility within and beyond healthcare, (2) identify barriers and facilitators to Just Culture adoption, (3) assess the impact of psychoeducational interventions on professionals' and social leaders' attitudes toward clinical errors and (4) develop a roadmap for Just Culture implementation in healthcare.
