Patient safety culture among nurses at a tertiary government hospital in the Philippines

This study showed that nurses value Teamwork within Units and Organizational Learning-Continuous Improvement as important aspects of PSC. Nonpunitive Response to Error was the area that requires improvement. Determining PSC level should be a continuous process. The first step should be obtaining the support of the administration and assuming a non-punitive approach to those who make and report medical errors. If the problem of personnel not reporting events is to be resolved, any barriers to reporting should be identified and addressed.
