Cross-sectional study reveals strong teamwork alongside low communication openness among healthcare workers, indicating a need for non-punitive error reporting systems.

Key Points

Assess the status of patient safety culture and identify associated factors among healthcare workers.
Conducted a cross-sectional survey using the 12-dimension Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture (HSOPSC) among healthcare professionals (N = 324; physicians, nurses, and allied staff) in Vietnam.
Analyzed positive response rates across dimensions and identified predictors of overall positive safety perceptions using descriptive statistics and multivariable logistic regression.
Positive response rates were highest for teamwork within units (98.5%) and across units (98.1%), but lowest for communication openness (25.9%) and non-punitive response to error (29.0%).
Physicians reported significantly higher positive perception rates for feedback and communication about error compared to nurses and allied staff (85.8% vs. 75.2%; p = 0.04).
Age was the sole independent predictor of favorable safety perceptions, with staff aged 30–40 years (AOR = 4.17, p = 0.02) and 40–50 years (AOR = 5.03, p = 0.02) exhibiting higher odds than staff aged <30 years.
