Summary

One of the leading elements in providing safe healthcare is to maintain employee health and safety. Hazards in the working environments of healthcare professionals threaten employee safety and cause errors in patient care. In this case, healthcare professionals working in a safe environment means that patients receive service in a safe environment.

Safety climate is the perception of employees of the policies, procedures and practices that exist to ensure safety in the workplace and is an important element for the formation of a safety culture in the workplace. There are many factors that determine the perception of safety climate. These factors can be listed as the type and size of the organization, the occupational risks that employees are exposed to at work, the way occupational safety is managed, the gender, seniority of employees, and their position in the organization.

Data Collection Tools

Safety Climate Scale: Since a customized safety climate perception measurement tool for nurses could not be found in the literature, the "Safety Climate Scale" (SAS), developed by Choudry et al. in 2009 and adapted to Turkish by Türen et al. in 2014, was used on healthcare workers and electronics industry workers. The scale consists of two subscales: 10 items evaluating the management's perspective and rules (YÖBAK) and 4 items evaluating colleagues and safety training (İAGE). Participants rate the statements in the scale between "strongly agree" (five points) and "strongly disagree" (one point). The total score of the scale is calculated by taking the average of the item scores, and as the average gets closer to five, the safety climate improves, and as it gets closer to one, it gets worse. The Cronbach Alpha reliability coefficient of the scale was determined as 0.93 in the study conducted by Türen et al., and in this study it was calculated as 0.82.
