Patient Safety Culture Among Healthcare Professionals in Jeddah First Health Cluster:
Article in Saudi medical journal, 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
Objective: Patient safety culture (PSC) is essential to improve healthcare quality and reduce preventable harm. Despite ongoing healthcare transformation in Saudi Arabia, there is limited evidence on healthcare professionals' (HCPs) perceptions of PSC in newly established health clusters. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study among HCPs in 6 government hospitals within the Jeddah First Health Cluster, Saudi Arabia. Data were gathered utilizing the Hospital Survey on PSC (HSOPSC). Descriptive measurement sand multiple linear regression analyses were used to evaluate perceptions of PSC and associated factors. Results: A total of 256 HCPs participated in the study. Overall, PSC was perceived as moderately positive (mean = 3.40, SD = 0.41). Teamwork within units of reported events received the highest scores, indicating positive collaboration among staff. Staffing, less punitive response to error, and handoffs and transitions scores were low, highlighting concerns related to workforce adequacy, communication during care transitions, and fear of blame when reporting incidents. Regression analysis showed that demographic and professional characteristics were not significant predictors of overall PSC scores. Conclusion: The HCPs generally reported positive experiences of PSC; however, challenges related to staffing, communication, and non-punitive error reporting remain. Strengthening organizational communication and promoting a just culture may improve patient safety practices across healthcare facilities.
