Purpose: The purpose of this study, as preliminary research on levels of understanding patient safety culture of military hospital workers, was to research the current status on patient safety awareness, to investigate the level of perception of patient safety in accordance with each worker’s occupation, and to provide useful data for attaining higher levels of patient safety within the of military hospital system.
Method: The questionnaire entitled Hospital Survey of Patient Safety Culture developed by US AHRQ(Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality) translated into Korean by, Jeong-Eun Kim(2004) and Woo-Young Je(2007) was utilized. The items of the questionnaire totaled 42 items; perception of the patient safety culture in each department (20 items), perception of the patient safety culture in each hospital (11 items), perception of the medical accident reporting system (9 items), perception of the level of patient safety (1 item), and the number of reporting medical accidents (1 item).
Result: As a result of this research, there were patient safety guidelines and reporting systems relating to patient safety, but the levels of perception were low. Additionally, patient safety education for hospital workers was carried out only one or two times a year. As for the perception of patient safety culture, staff, the attitudes of commanding officers, and culture of making mistakes all were recorded low. The difference in the perception according to occupation among military hospital workers was so statistically significant that the average level of perception among army surgeons and military pharmaceutical officers respectively was either less than one of the nursing officers’ or medical technicians’ scores.
Conclusion: In conclusion, precautionary education should be more rigorously taught targeting hospital workers and patients for better patient safety management. in addition, it is necessary to make efforts to increase the number of hospital workers, and fundamentally to change the culture of blame into a culture of safety in order to lay the foundation for patient safety assurance.
