La culture sécurité dans les soins : une réalité pour les professionnels ?

The analysis of the causes of serious preventable adverse events shows that human factors are found in most cases. Safety behaviors, such as compliance with procedures or safety initiative behaviors, contribute to acting on these human factors. A survey of over one thousand paramedical healthcare professionals was carried out using a self-administered questionnaire as part of an institutional policy of promoting the safety culture. The results show an understanding and acquisition of safety attitudes that suggest prospects for major improvements. Training actions are being developed at the establishment (CHU d'Angers University Medical Center) and will give rise to a new assessment.
