Publication: A UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL PRACTISE: IS THERE ANYRELATIONSHIP BETWEEN WORKPLACE SAFETY AND PATIENTSAFETY?
Abstract
Bu çalışma hastane çalışanlarının iş güvenliği ve hasta güvenliği algıları arasındaki ilişkiyi araştırmaktadır. Bulgular iş güvenliği azalırken meslek kazaları ve hastalıklarının arttığı yönündedir. Bu durum olumsuz sonuçlara yol açabilir. Ayrıca hasta güvenliği, hastanelerde verilen sağlık hizmetinin kalitesini etkileyen en önemli faktörlerden birisidir. Bu çalışmada Kocaeli Üniversitesi Araştırma ve Uygulama Hastanesinde Hayes'in iş güvenliği ölçeği test edilmiştir. Bulgulara göre hasta güvenliği ve iş güvenliği boyutları arasında istatistiki olarak anlamlı ilişki tespit edilmiştir. Ayrıca hasta güvenliği ve denetimci güvenliği (0,250), iş güvenliği (0,216), iş güvenliği politikaları (0,238), güvenli çalışma ortamı (0,299), ve iş güvenliğini iyileştirme (0,313) arasında istatistiki olarak anlamlı pozitif ilişki tespit edilmiştir.
