Assessing Employees Perception On Health And Safety Management In Public Hospitals
International …, 2009
This research examined the perception of employees regarding the management of occupational health and safety (OHS) in public hospital. 418 employees from three state hospitals in the northern region of Malaysia participated in this study. Data was collected using a set of questionnaires. Data analysis was done using descriptive statistics, t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson correlation and multiple regressions. Findings showed that employees perceived safety reporting as the most important dimension and work pressure as the least important component in their OHS practices. Empirical evidence indicated that there was no significant difference in safety satisfaction and feedback between male and female workers but there was a significant difference in safety involvement dimension. In addition, results also showed that there was a significant difference in safety satisfaction and feedback faced by job position like nurse but there was no significant difference between employees from all categories of job tenure. Findings suggested that there was a significant positive correlation between dependent variable and all independent variables. Regression analysis revealed approximately 55% (R 2 = 0.545) of variance in safety satisfaction and feedback, that was simultaneously explained by five independent variables including safety involvement, safety reporting, work pressure, management commitment, and safety objectives. In sum, this study has confirmed an empirical relationship between the nine dimensions of OHS management and the outcome variable.

Journal of Public Health Research, 2021
Background The measurement of nurse perception on safety, and the factors associated to safety climate, direct the development of effective strategies in reducing adverse events, and patient safety improvement. Design and Method This research was quantified, using the teamwork and safety climate domains of an Indonesian translated version of the Safety Attitudes Questionnaire (SAQ-INA). The teamwork and safety climate domain scores were calculated, using the published SAQ-INA scoring algorithm. The univariate and multivariate median regression models were performed to examine the association between potential predictors and safety climate. Result The results showed that 279 nurses responded to the survey (82% response rate). While most of them had a positive attitude towards teamwork (n=170, 61%), fewer possessed the same mentality towards safety climate (n=109, 39%). The lowest level of teamwork was perceived by nurses working in the emergency department (median 71, interquartile r...

Results: A total of 152 personnel took part in the study. Female (118, 77.6%) respondents were more represented in the study than men (34, 22.4%) with Mean (SD) age of 35.7 ± 8.64 years. Training and competence was perceived highest with (Mean SD, 4.14 ± 0.58) and safety goals perceived the least with (Mean SD, 2.31 ± 1.06). The study showed there was no significant effect for neither duration of service nor job position (<10 years of service Mean (SD) 2.62 ± 0.40, p>0.05 and the nurses with Mean (SD) 2.60 ± 0.41, p>0.05). Correlation analysis showed a significant correlation between OHS dimensions and safety satisfaction and feedback. Conclusion: Generally, health personnel perceived OHS dimension very low. In this study it is evident that health facilities need to step up OHS practices as well as an inclusive and committed management and supervisory skills, based on the significant correlation between some OHS dimensions and safety satisfaction and feedback among the personnel.
