Safety Climate in Health Care Organizations: A Multidimensional Approach
研究了医疗机构安全氛围的四个维度及其交互作用对治疗错误的影响，发现安全程序细节感知与治疗错误呈曲线关系，且安全优先级起调节作用。
Treatment errors are a major problem in the health care industry. This study explored four dimensions of safety climate and the interactions among them as predictors of treatment errors. A total of 632 participants in 46 hospital units assessed their units' safety climate. Results demonstrated a curvilinear relationship between the levels of the perceived detailing of safety procedures and the number of treatment errors. Also, the perceived priority of safety moderated the curvilinear relationship between safety procedures and treatment errors as well as the relationship between the way employees interpreted their managers' safety practices and treatment errors.
