To evaluate the patient safety culture in primary healthcare units. Design. A cross-sectional study, utilizing the Turkish version of the Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture developed by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality and a demographic questionnaire. Setting. Twelve primary healthcare centers in the center of the city of Konya, Turkey. Participants. One hundred and eighty healthcare staff, including general practitioners (GPs), nurses, midwives and health officers. Intervention. None. Main Outcome Measure(s). The patient safety culture score including subscores on 12 dimensions and 42 items; patient safety grade and number of events reported. Results. Fifty-four (30%) of the participants were GPs, 48 (27%) were nurses, 51 (28%) were midwives and 27 (15%) were health officers. The mean overall score for positive perception of patient safety culture in primary healthcare units was (43 49 CI). No differences were found by staff members profession. Among the dimensions of patient safety, those with the highest percentage of positive ratings were teamwork within units (76%) and overall perceptions of safety (59%), whereas those with the lowest percentage of positive ratings were the frequency of event reporting (12%) and non-punitive response to error (18%). Reporting of errors was infrequent with 87% of GPs, 92% of nurses and 91% of other health staff indicating that they did not report or provide feedback about errors. Conclusions. Improving patient safety culture should be a priority among health center administrators. Healthcare staff should be encouraged to report errors without fear of punitive action. Keywords: patient safety, patient safety culture, primary healthcare unit, general practitioner, nurse Introduction Patient safety is defined as the prevention of harm caused by errors of commission and omission [1]. One-fifth of the people in the community are exposed to medical mistakes [2], and this rate may be as high as 35 42% [3]. As a result, millions of people may die or suffer injuries due to preventable medical errors. The widespread nature and heavy consequences of medical mistakes require more studies focusing on patient safety [4]. These types of studies generally concentrate on hospital environments [5]. The area of primary health care concerns everyone in the community because it provides the first contact for the patient. However, since severe and complicated cases requiring special treatment are handled in hospitals, both providers and the community frequently underestimate the importance of primary healthcare services. This underestimation leads to a primary care environment susceptible to errors in fields such as organization, physician notification, communication and staffing [6]. Thus, some studies [7, 8] have found that errors in primary care can result in serious consequences. Primary healthcare units need an organizational safety culture similar to that established in hospitals [9, 10]. An institutional culture involves the procedural flow in a given institution; a safety culture is one in which safety is everyone s concern [10]. In this regard, patient safety culture can be defined as acceptance and practice of patient safety as the Address reprint requests to: Said Bodur, Meram Tip Fakültesi, Halk Sagligi Anabilim Dalı, Selcuk Üniversitesi, Konya, Türkiye.

2 Patient safety culture in Turkey first priority and the common value in the institution. In other words, patient safety culture may be described as the common values, beliefs, behaviors, perceptions and attitudes of the staff in a healthcare center [11]. The generation of a safety culture starts with an evaluation of the present safety level in an institution because safety precautions implemented without a proper assessment may elevate costs and also causing unpredicted new risks [12]. Many tools have been developed for evaluation of the patient safety culture [13 15]. Nearly all these tools cover five common dimensions of patient safety climate: leadership, policies and procedures, staffing, communication and reporting [16]. Patient safety culture is a relatively new area [12], and most of the studies published in this field are based on studies of hospitals [17]. There are few studies of patient safety culture in primary healthcare services and none conducted previously in Turkey. Also, the number of valid and reliable surveys related to patient safety culture for primary healthcare services worldwide is limited. For this reason, a modification of the Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture (HSOPSC) has been used in non-hospital settings such as nursing homes. In this research, we analyze the responses of primary healthcare service staff to a modified version of the HSOPSC. The purpose of this study was to determine safety culture scores for primary healthcare services and compare these results with existing data from benchmark scores using HSOPSC. The differences between different types of professional staff (e.g. physicians, nurses and others) were also assessed. Methods Setting Twelve primary healthcare services were randomly selected from 37 primary healthcare services in the metropolitan city center of Konya, Turkey. Primary health care, including outpatient care, maternal care, family planning, immunization and preventive health services are provided through a network of primary healthcare services that were established throughout the country on the basis of a 1963 law regarding socialization of health services. Primary healthcare services were configured for rural and urban areas. Each center of rural primary healthcare services was expected to serve 5000 people. In urban areas, as in the present study, each center is expected to serve people. Primary healthcare services are to be staffed by a team of four to six general practitioners (GPs), a nurse or midwife for each 3000 people, several health officers and other ancillary staff [18]. Participants The data were obtained from a self-administered questionnaire survey completed in The sample size was determined according to a formula based on a comparison of the predicted mean score [19] of the positive perception for the patient safety culture dimensions, setting the sample size so that differences between groups would be detected with a power of 80% at a 95% confidence level within a relative deviation of 10%. Thus, a sample size of at least 44 people for each of the four groups of healthcare professionals was planned. Questionnaires and informed consent forms were hand-distributed to 212 staff. Of this group, 185 persons who gave consent completed the survey (response rate 85%). The numbers of the four types of healthcare staffs included in the study were: 54 GPs, 48 nurses, 51 midwives and 27 health officers. GPs are responsible for preventive medicine (immunization, monitoring of child and mother, health education etc.) and outpatient care. Nurses have the responsibility for immunization, family planning, patient care, injections and dressings. Midwives follow pregnant women and infants, as well as post-partum women, and aid in immunization and family planning. Health officers are involved with bureaucratic management. Measures The survey included a section that asked questions from the HSOPSC. It is difficult to find a universal culture instrument in the literature on current assessments of patient safety culture [16]. This is especially so in the case of outpatient clinics such as primary healthcare services. Therefore, we used the HSOPSC developed by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) [20]. This instrument contains 12 subscales and 42 items that consider many attributes known to be associated with a culture of patient safety, identified above [21]. Specifically, the subscales of the instrument include: (i) manager expectations and actions promoting safety; (ii) organizational learning; (iii) teamwork within units; (iv) communication openness; (v) feedback and communication about errors; (vi) non-punitive response to errors; (viii) staffing; (viii) management support for patient safety; (ix) teamwork across units and (x) handoffs and transitions. The HSOPSC also includes two subscales that are presented as outcome dimensions: (i) overall perceptions of safety and (ii) frequency of event reporting. The HSOPSC is a valid and reliable instrument developed from previous literature, cognitive tests and factor analyses to assess the patient safety culture in hospitals. Extensive details of this instrument can be found in a web-based technical report [21]. The final instrument was pilot-tested in 21 hospitals with 1437 employee responses. Using Cronbach s a, all subscales had acceptable levels of reliability, which varied from 0.84 for frequency of event reporting to 0.63 for staffing. The construct validities of each safety culture dimension were shown in composite scores as being moderately related to one another, as indicated by correlations between 0.20 and 0.40 [21]. Preparing a Turkish form of the AHRQ survey Initial translation of the survey into Turkish was performed by the investigators. This translation was reviewed by an English-language expert whose native language is Turkish. It was then translated back into English by an independent translator who had not seen the original questionnaire [22]. 349
3 Bodur and Filiz This form was examined by one of the authors of the original HSOPSC to determine whether different wordings in the new survey text in English and the original one posed any problems and whether it could be used in its new form. The authors made revisions after the consultant suggested that several items in the survey could lead to different interpretations. Those items were adjusted according to the comments of consultant. As we used this instrument in primary healthcare services, a modification was made to the wording of items. Where it made sense, the word hospital was replaced by primary healthcare services. No other changes were made to the instrument. The format, response options and question order remained the same as in the original instrument. Data analysis Descriptive statistics for the facilities in the sample and descriptive statistics for each item on the HSOPSC were calculated. For each positively worded item, the percentage of positive responses was calculated, i.e. the percentage of respondents answering the question as strongly agree and agree or always or most of the time. Similarly, for each negatively worded item, the percentage of negative responses was calculated. In addition, the mean for each subscale used (listed above) in the HSOPSC was calculated. Subscale scores were calculated by taking the average score of the subscale items. In all cases, the possible range of scores is from 0 to 100%, with higher scores indicating a more positive response. We used t-tests to compare the primary healthcare services item scores and subscale scores with the matching scores of 58 US hospitals with 6 24 bed-size (benchmark score) [17]. This questionnaire has not been used previously in primary healthcare services, so we also calculated Cronbach s a for each subscale. The HSOPSC instrument also includes questions asking respondents to give an overall grade to their safety environment and how many incident reports have been generated in the past 12 months. The responses to these questions are summarized below. Composite scores obtained from the study on each of the 12 safety culture dimensions and 42 items were compared with the benchmark scores using a t-test. The relationship between demography factors and patient safety culture score was examined using a linear multivariate analysis with mean percentage reporting a positive score as the dependent variable. A chi-squared test was used to compare health professions on each of the 42 safety culture items, on the two single-item outcome measures (number of events reported and patient safety grade), and on composite scores of the safety culture scales. Results In total, 180 healthcare staff members provided survey feedback (response rate 85%). Fifty-four (30%) of the participants were GPs, 48 (27%) were nurses, 51 (28%) were midwives and 27 (15%) were health officers. Sixty percent (60%) of the nurses and 56% of other staff had pre-bachelor s degree. The mean age of the participants was , and 89% of them were married. The majority of the healthcare staff had a seniority level above 15 years (Table 1). The percentage of positive responses was highest for teamwork within units (76%), overall perceptions of safety (59%) and teamwork across hospital units (56%) and lowest for frequency of event reporting (12%) and non-punitive response to error (18%). The overall mean score for positive perception of patient safety culture was (95% CI: 43 49), whereas it was for GPs, for nurses, for midwives and for health officers (P ¼ 0.054). Comparison of scores for the dimensions of safety culture revealed lower results for nurses compared with those of GPs and other healthcare staff in terms of communication openness (P, 0.01) and feedback and communication about error (P, 0.01) (Table 2). In the multivariate analysis, staff who had been working more than 10 years in their present unit displayed a significantly lower patient safety culture score (P, 0.05). Similarly, a weak but significant negative and linear correlation was Table 1 Sociodemographic and professional characteristics of health staffs a Characteristics GPs (n ¼ 54) Nurses (n ¼ 48) Midwives (n ¼ 51) Health officers (n ¼ 27)...

No relationship was found between gender, occupation, marital status or weekly work hours and total patient safety culture score. Patient safety culture scores obtained from primary healthcare services were lower than the benchmark scores obtained from 58 US hospitals having a bed size between 6 and 24 (P, 0.001). The positive response scores of primary healthcare units for all 12 dimensions were lower than the benchmark scores (Fig. 1) [17]. The dimensions exhibiting the largest difference were as follows: the score for frequency of event reporting was 12% for primary healthcare centers, whereas it was 64% for hospitals, the score for non-punitive response to error was 18% for primary healthcare centers and 48% for hospitals, and the score for management support for patient safety was 43% for primary healthcare centers and 75% for hospitals (Graph 1). The assessment based on specific survey items showed that primary healthcare units scored lower than hospitals in 34 items out of 42. Cronbach s a values of the dimensions varied between 0.43 and 0.93 in 10 of 12 dimensions. Cronbach s a value was found to be below 0.40 in two dimensions ( non-punitive response to error and staffing ) (Table 3). The percentage of staff who rated the level of patient safety in primary healthcare units as good or perfect was 42%, which was lower than the benchmark score of 76% (P, 0.001) (Table 4). In addition, 87% of GPs, 92% of nurses and 91% of other healthcare staff were shown as never reporting the errors. So, the frequency of event reporting (10%) was very much lower than the benchmark score of 50% (P, 0.001) (Table 5). Discussion As far as we know, this study is the first one that investigated patient safety culture in primary healthcare services by healthcare providers. The instrument used to measure the patient safety culture was developed by the AHRQ for hospitals [21]. Use of this instrument in primary healthcare services is a limitation. Development of a new instrument aimed specifically at the primary healthcare services provided 353

In the present study, the response rate of the survey was comparable to that of previous studies. However, the study has some limitations. It was carried out only in the urban areas, excluding the rural primary healthcare institutions. Its scope should be further extended. A patient safety culture score is only an indirect indicator of patient safety. Practical efficacy may be obtained from the presented scores. However, greater number of sample populations should be used to obtain results applicable to more groups. For example, the opinions of the medical administrators and patients can be included in the study because this subject should have input from patients as well [23]. Physicians should be willing to assume the leadership required for the development of an institutional safety culture in healthcare services [24]. Moreover, the impact of patient safety culture interventions on personnel and patient outcomes may be evaluated by longitudinal studies. The current study is comprised 54 GPs and 126 healthcare staff who work in urban primary healthcare units delivering outpatient services. In two aspects ( communication openness and feedback and communication about error ), the scores of the nurses were lower than those of GPs, which was a remarkable finding. Nurses spend more time with the patients and can observe the relationship between the GPs and the patients. Therefore, lower scores for nurses in some aspects of safety culture may be regarded as especially salient. One of the demographic aspects, work years in a unit, stands out as a factor having an impact on patient safety culture score. Because patient safety culture scores decreased as seniority increased, one might wonder whether there has been an increase in medical errors over time, or whether the relatively lower score is related to some other mechanisms such as an increasing staff awareness of safety problems or greater willingness to admit to safety problems on a survey as staff gain more experience on a unit. Since there was no relationship between the patient safety culture score and other demographic dimensions, safety environment appears to be independent of other demographic attributes. The mean overall score of patient safety culture in primary healthcare units is lower than that of hospitals [17]. However, perception of patient safety culture by health staff members resulted in similar scores. Because primary healthcare institutions have a lower potential for life-threatening medical errors and procedures (because they do not manage severe clinical cases that can be treated only by intensive care, emergency medicine, major surgical interventions or inpatient services, we regard determination of the perception of patient safety culture by the healthcare staff as an important issue in terms of public health. As most risky medical interventions take place in hospitals, hospital staff may have better training and specialization in safety-related issues. This may account for the relatively lower reporting of problems regarding patient safety in hospitals compared with primary care. On the other hand, because the medical risk is estimated to be lower in primary healthcare units, patient safety precautions might be neglected or disregarded in those institutions due to the low risk potential, which may lead to the development of unexpected threats. Development of a positive safety culture in primary healthcare services requires further study based on results obtained from the current patient safety culture survey showing lower scores for primary healthcare units in all dimensions compared with the results for US hospitals [17]. Most of the mean values of primary healthcare services for patient safety culture were below 50%. However, positive perception was above 50% in the following dimensions: teamwork within units, supervisor/manager expectations and actions promoting safety, overall perceptions of safety and teamwork across units. Although the high values of primary healthcare services for overall perception of teamwork, cooperation and safety culture were encouraging, the lower frequency of positive responses in many fundamental aspects of safety culture was disappointing. Although the patient safety culture scores for primary healthcare services were lower than those for US hospitals [17], scores on some dimensions (overall perceptions of safety, teamwork within units, teamwork across units etc.) were higher than some hospitals in Belgium [25]. This difference may stem from inherent cultural differences or differences obtained from primary healthcare services or hospitals. Because efforts to identify mistakes may be undervalued in Turkish culture, reporting the errors seems to be a process that is often avoided. Turkey may need to improve the patient safety culture in primary healthcare services to reach the benchmark values for safety culture level and event reporting frequency. In the current study, the frequency of event reporting was much 354
8 Patient safety culture in Turkey lower than that in US hospitals [21]. Non-punitive responses to error and error-reporting should be improved. For instance, development of error reporting based on voluntary and consistent event reports [26] is recommended to improve patient safety in primary healthcare services. Our study suggests that the patient safety survey used in hospitals can be modified and employed in outpatient clinics. Some items could be revised according to primary care services for which inter-item reliability is low. In conclusion, the development of a patient safety culture should be a priority of administrators in primary healthcare units, as it is in hospital settings. An environment in which healthcare staff can report present or possible errors without fear of punishment should be established. References 1. Institute of Medicine (IOM).
