Relationship between adverse events prevalence, patient safety culture and patient safety perception in a single sample of patients: a cross-sectional and correlational study.
Article in BMJ open, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveTo assess the relationship between adverse events prevalence (AEP), patient safety culture (PSC) and patient safety perception (PSP).
designCross-sectional, ex post facto comparative study on a single sample of patients.
settingFour medium-high-level hospitals were included in the study-two public and two private from Zulia State in Venezuela.
participants556 medical records and patients were studied for the prevalence and PSP study, and 397 of the healthcare providers involved in the care of these patients were surveyed for the PSC study, at two public and two private hospitals. OUTCOME MEASUREMENT: The primary outcome of this study was the association between AEP, PSC and PSP, and according to hospital funding type, private and public.
resultsAn inverse association was observed between AEP and its severity and Patient Safety Culture Index (rho=-0.8, p=0.5) (95% CI 0.26-0.10) and Patient Safety Perception Index (rho=-0.6, p=0.18) (95% CI 0.10-0.28), which were protective factors for patient safety. No association was identified between PSC and PSP (rho=0.0001). No statistical differences were identified by hospital type (p=0.93) (95% CI 0.70-1.2).
conclusionsThe analysis of the variable correlations studied (AEP, PSC and PSP) within the same sample offers an interesting and useful perspective. In this sample, although no correlation was observed between the three variables as an interacting set, some correlation patterns were observed between pairs of variables that could guide further studies.
