Patient safety culture training for nursing staff

The Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture (HSOPSC) questionnaire was used for appraisal in a newly-built general hospital for all the nursing staff, and they were provided with a six-month safety culture training according to appraisal results. The training has elevated the positive response rate of the nursing staff towards all dimensions of patient safety culture, proving that scientific and reasonable safety culture training is conducive to nurses′ perception of patient safety culture.
