Perception of the patient safety culture among healthcare workers.
Article in BMC health services research, 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
backgroundPatient safety culture (PSC) is a key determinant of care quality, influencing clinical outcomes, staff functioning, and the resiliency of organizations. While PSC has evolved globally, it remains established in developing countries like Egypt. This study intended to evaluate healthcare workers' perceptions regarding PSC across three public hospitals in Beni-Suef City, Egypt.
methodsA cross-sectional design was used, including 497 healthcare workers from University Hospital, governmental, and health insurance hospitals in the Beni-Suef governorate. Convenience sampling technique was used. Data were gathered using modified version of the Survey on Patient Safety Culture (SOPS) Hospital Survey, enhanced with items from the Workplace Safety Supplemental Set. Statistical analysis involved descriptive statistics, correlation, and multivariable linear regression using SPSS v26.0.
resultsThe study found that the mean age of participants was 28.98 years, with over 40% between 26 and 30 years old. Nurses exhibited significantly higher PSC scores than administrative staff. (Mean ± SD: 79.54 ± 11.36vs. 72.73 ± 16.63, respectively; P value = 0.005). Government hospitals showed higher PSC perceptions toward PSC than university hospitals (Mean ± SD: 82.39 ± 7.01vs. 75.77 ± 14.25, respectively; P value < 0.001). Working 30 h or more per week with (P value = 0.043), having direct patient contact with (P value < 0.001), and Every unit increase in workplace safety score is associated with an increase in patient safety score by 1.99 point. A negative relationship was identified between PSC and burnout with (P value = 0.010).
conclusionDemographic, occupational, and institutional factors significantly influence PSC. Strategies focusing on improving workplace safety, reducing burnout, and targeting younger staff are essential to strengthening patient safety culture in Egyptian healthcare settings.
