Relationships of Patient Safety Culture and Ethical Climate Among Uniformed Nurses in Benguet
Abstract
This descriptive correlational study investigates the association between patient safety culture and the ethical climate within a specific cohort of nurses from the Police Regional Office Cordillera (PROCOR), La Trinidad, Benguet. The study aims to understand how various demographic and professional variables influence these cultures within the nursing profession. A total of 204 uniformed PROCOR nurses, adhering to strict inclusion and exclusion criteria, were surveyed using the Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture (HSOPSC) and the Hospital Ethical Climate Survey (HECS), both supplemented with additional items for a comprehensive assessment. The study found that both patient safety culture and ethical climate were perceived at high levels among the respondents, with mean scores indicating strong positive perceptions in multiple dimensions, including supervisor/manager relations, communication, and frequency of events reported. Pearson’s correlation analysis revealed significant relationships between these cultures and variables like age, sex, civil status, rank, and years of experience, while educational attainment and monthly family income showed no significant correlation. These findings underscore the critical role of demographic and professional factors in shaping the perception of patient safety and ethical climate among nurses. The study contributes valuable insights into the complex dynamics of healthcare culture in a unique professional context, offering guidance for policymakers and healthcare administrators in enhancing patient safety and ethical standards. Future research is encouraged to explore these relationships further and to examine the causal mechanisms behind these correlations.
