UNASSIGNED: This study assesses the interactive effect of healthcare facility type and OSH training on the number of reported organizational safety culture perceptions of healthcare workers in Ghana, secondly it evaluates how the relationship was attenuated when theoretically relevant factors (compositional and contextual) were considered, and lastly examines the magnitude and order of association between the predictors and the number of reported organizational safety culture perceptions.
UNASSIGNED: Cross-sectional interview study.
UNASSIGNED: The researchers interviewed 500 healthcare workers in seventeen healthcare facilities in the Central region of Ghana.
UNASSIGNED: Negative binomial regression models were fitted to cross-sectional survey data on 500 healthcare workers in Ghana.
UNASSIGNED: Healthcare workers who work in healthcare centers (24%, P<0.05) and hospitals (23%, P<0.05) where routine OSH training was conducted were more likely to report good organizational safety culture perceptions compared with their counterparts who work at healthcare centers where no routine OSH training was conducted. Individuals who were above 39 years (23%, P<0.05) were more likely to report good organizational safety culture perceptions compared with their counterparts in the 20-29-year category. Female healthcare workers (11%, P<0.05) were more likely to report good organizational safety culture perceptions compared with their male counterparts.
UNASSIGNED: These findings provide valuable information for policymakers and stakeholders in the healthcare sector to develop interventions necessary for improving safety culture at healthcare facilities.
■本研究评估了医疗机构类型和OSH培训对加纳医护人员报告的组织安全文化认知数量的互动影响,其次,它评估了当考虑理论上相关因素(成分和上下文)时,这种关系是如何减弱的,最后检查预测因子与报告的组织安全文化认知数量之间的关联程度和顺序。
■横断面访谈研究。
■研究人员采访了加纳中部地区17个医疗机构的500名医护人员。
■将负二项回归模型拟合到加纳500名医护人员的横断面调查数据。
■在医疗中心工作的医护人员(24%,P<0.05)和医院(23%,P<0.05)与在未进行常规OSH培训的医疗中心工作的同行相比,进行常规OSH培训的员工更有可能报告良好的组织安全文化观念。39岁以上的个人(23%,与20-29年类别中的同行相比,P<0.05)更有可能报告良好的组织安全文化观念。女性医护人员(11%,与男性同行相比,P<0.05)更有可能报告良好的组织安全文化观念。
这些发现为医疗保健部门的政策制定者和利益相关者提供了有价值的信息,以制定必要的干预措施,以改善医疗保健机构的安全文化。
