Assessing Patient Safety Culture in Hospital at Home Services Across Spain Through a National Survey.
Article in Nursing & health sciences, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Patient Safety Culture (PSC) is key to healthcare quality. While widely studied in hospitals, evidence on PSC in Hospital at Home (HaH)-a growing model delivering hospital-level care at home-remains scarce. This study evaluated PSC among professionals in Spanish public HaH units. A descriptive, cross-sectional survey was conducted using the Spanish-validated Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture 2.0. Participants were physicians, nurses, and other HaH professionals with ≥ 3 months' experience. A total of 199 responses were analyzed using non-parametric tests. Positive response rates identified strengths (≥ 75%) and improvement areas (≤ 50%). Teamwork Within Units achieved the highest positive responses, indicating strong collaboration, while Staffing and Work Pace scored lowest, reflecting workload concerns. Most rated unit safety as "good" or "very good," though few as "excellent." Nurses reported more favorable perceptions than other professionals. Significant differences appeared in teamwork, communication, and leadership support. Comments highlighted commitment despite workforce shortages and limited institutional recognition. HaH services demonstrate a generally positive PSC. Addressing staffing and workload challenges through stronger institutional support and safety protocols is crucial for sustainable, safe home-based care.
