Patient safety culture may not be a consistently stable concept across national boarders even in regions of the world such as the European Union due to diverse cultures, differing health system characteristics, and varied professional practice contexts. This was the first mixed methods study to compare patient safety culture in four different countries in the European Union. Despite an early record of robust legislative achievements in patient safety, the European Union has produced no new regulations for nearly a decade. Nurses in this study generally reported working in hospitals with unfavorable safety cultures, with many punitive characteristics in some countries. Inadequate nurse staffing was observed to be a serious problem for most hospitals, yet many participants seemed to accept this reality. The findings from this study suggest patient safety needs to re-emerge as an important health policy concern for the European Union.

Congratulations to Dr. Nina Granel and her team of researchers for this substantial work resulting in a significant contribution to the patient safety culture literature. The publication information including citation and abstract are provided below.

Patient safety culture in European hospitals: A comparative mixed methods study. International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 19(2), 939. https://doi.org/10.3390/ijerph19020939

BACKGROUND: Poorly organized health systems with inadequate leadership limit the development of the robust safety cultures capable of preventing consequential adverse events. Although safety culture has been studied in hospitals worldwide, the relationship between clinician perceptions about patient safety and their actual clinical practices has received little attention. Despite the need for mixed methods studies to achieve a deeper understanding of safety culture, there are few studies providing comparisons of hospitals in different countries.

PURPOSE This study compared the safety culture of hospitals from the perspective of nurses in four European countries, including Croatia, Hungary, Spain, and Sweden.

STUDY DESIGN: A comparative mixed methods study with a convergent parallel design.

METHODS: Data collection included a survey, participant interviews, and workplace observations. The sample was nurses working in the internal medicine, surgical, and emergency departments of two public hospitals from each country. Survey data (n = 538) was collected with the Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture (HSOPSC) and qualitative date was collected through 24 in-depth interviews and 147 hours of non-participant observation. Survey data was analyzed descriptively and inferentially, and content analysis was used to analyze the qualitative data.

RESULTS: The overall perception of safety culture for most dimensions was ‘adequate’ in Sweden and ‘adequate’ to ‘poor’ in the other countries with inconsistencies identified between survey and qualitative data. Although teamwork within units was the most positive dimension across countries, the qualitative data did not consistently demonstrate support, respect, and teamwork as normative attributes in Croatia and Hungary. Staffing and workload were identified as major areas for improvement across countries, although the nurse-to-patient ratios were the highest in Sweden, followed by Spain, Hungary, and Croatia.

CONCLUSIONS: Despite all countries being part of the European Union, most safety culture dimensions require improvement, with few measured as good, and most deemed to be adequate to poor. Dimension level perceptions were at times incongruent across countries, as observed patient safety practices or interview perspectives were inconsistent with a positive safety culture. Differences between countries may be related to national culture or variability in health system structures permitted by the prevailing European Union health policy.

JBI Evidence Synthesis (February 2021)
FEATURED SCOPING REVIEW

By reviewing the measures of movement and mobility used in clinical practice and research, clinicians and researchers will be able to better select the tools that measure the concepts of movement and mobility most appropriate for their research and clinical practices. The lead author of the featured scoping review cautions researchers and clinicians to carefully consider the measures they are selecting appropriately match the concept of interest and the required characteristics for measurement.

TITLE: Measures of movement and mobility used in clinical practice and research: A scoping review

OBJECTIVE: The first objective of this scoping review was to identify all the tools designed to measure movement or mobility in adults. The second objective was to compare the tools to the conceptual definitions of movement and mobility by mapping them to the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF).

INTRODUCTION: The concepts of movement and mobility are distinct concepts that are often conflated, and the differences are important to patient care. Movement is a change in the place or position of a part of the body or of the whole body. Mobility is derived from movement and is defined as the ability to move with ease. Researchers and clinicians, including nurses, physiotherapists, and occupational therapists who work with adults and in rehabilitation, need to be confident that they are measuring the outcome of interest.

INCLUSION CRITERIA: This scoping review considered studies that included participants who are adults, aged 19 and older, with any level of ability or disability. The concepts of interest were tools that measured movement or mobility relative to the human body. Studies were considered regardless of country of origin, health care setting, or sociocultural setting.

METHODS: CINAHL, Health and Psychosocial Instruments, MEDLINE, and Embase were searched in June 2018 and OpenGrey, Dissertation Abstracts International, and Google Scholar were searched in November 2018. The searches were limited to articles in English, and the date range was from the inception of the database to the current date. Data were extracted from the studies using a custom data extraction tool. Once tools were identified for analysis, they were coded using the table format developed by Cieza and colleagues.

RESULTS: There were 702 unique tools identified, with 651 of them available to be coded for the ICF. There were 385 ICF codes used when coding the tools. From these codes, the percentage of codes of the defining attributes of movement and mobility that were covered could be calculated, as well as the percentage of tool items that were linked to the antecedents, consequences, or defining attributes of movement or mobility.

CONCLUSIONS: Although there are many tools that measure only movement or mobility, there are many that measure a mixture of the defining attributes as well as the antecedents and consequences. The tool name alone should not be considered a guarantee of the concept measured, and tool selection should be done with a critical eye. This study provides a starting point from which clinicians and researchers can find tools that measure the concepts of movement and mobility of interest and importance to their patient population.

Every year patients experience the adverse consequences of poor acute pain management, including the overuse of opioids, which are serious and include an increased risk of complications, longer hospitalisations, opioid-use disorder, and death.

A scoping review will map the available evidence on adverse drug events and costs related to the use of opioids in hospitalized patients with post-operative pain.
