ABSTRACT

Objective:

To evaluate nurse safety culture in a teaching hospital, as well as to verify differences in the safety culture dimensions between services.

Method:

cross-sectional, quantitative study, conducted from October to December 2015, in a university hospital. The instrument Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture was applied.

Results:

A total of 195 nurses from four different services participated in the study. Significant difference between services were identified for five dimensions of safety culture: organizational learning (P=0.012); return of information and communication about error (P=0.014); management support for patient safety (P=0.001); general perceptions about patient safety (P=0.005); and frequency of event notification (P=0.003).

Conclusion:

The medical clinic service had the highest statistical difference between the dimensions. These evaluations allow managers to identify the differences between the same hospital’s services, serving as a warning and assisting in the services’ improvement.
