Brief summary

This research was planned to reveal and evaluate the effects of the problems experienced in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus Health System, which takes the Republic of Turkey Health System as an example, on patient safety for nurses and to determine the goals that will lead to a solution. As it is known, there are deficiencies in the patient safety training program and legal regulations covering patient safety in healthcare institutions in TRNC. The training program in this research forms the basis for disseminating such training programs in all health institutions operating in TRNC, ensuring patient safety and providing higher quality and safer care.

Detailed description

This research aims to shed light on the literature and the TRNC Health System. It is envisaged that developing and improving patient safety programs in healthcare institutions, supporting the infrastructure system for the use and development of scientific knowledge focused on patient safety, creating appropriate working environments, and correcting the incorrect behavior of healthcare professionals regarding patient safety will contribute to the development of patient safety and facilitate the delivery of quality patient care. This research was planned to determine the effect of the patient safety training program given using the problem-based learning approach on nurses' patient safety knowledge levels and patient safety attitudes.

Interventions

BEHAVIORALeducation of patient safety

For participants in the training group, data will be collected face to face in two stages: the pre-test phase and the post-training post-test phase. A survey will be distributed to the control group simultaneously with the training group and will be collected as pre-test and post-test, but no training will be given to the control group. Only after the study ends will educational materials be shared with the control group.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Patient Safety Information Form10 weekThe number of questions prepared to determine the level of knowledge about patient safety is 12. 1 of them is open-ended (definition question), 11 of them are closed-ended-multiple choice questions. In multiple choice survey questions, the answer was considered correct when all correct answers in the options were known. 1 point was given for the correct answer to each question. Thus, the lowest score was 0 and the highest score was 12. The mean and standard deviation of knowledge scores are 7.78 ± 1.84, and the median is 8. Accordingly, the knowledge levels of nurses who received 8 points or less were considered insufficient, and the knowledge levels of nurses who received 9 points or above were considered adequate

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Patient Safety Attitude Scale10 weekThe scale consists of 46 items and 6 sub-dimensions in total (job satisfaction-11 items, teamwork-12 items, safety climate-5 items, management approach-7 items, identifying stress-5 items and working conditions-6 items). The five-point Likert type scale is scored as 5-completely agree, 4-agree, 3-partially agree, 2-disagree, 1-strongly disagree. Some items of the scale (items 21, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43 and 45) are scored negatively. It was determined that the total Cronbach's alpha value of the scale was .93, and the subscale Cronbach's alpha values were .85, .86, .83, .77, .74, and .72.
