Awareness and Comprehension Among the Emergency Staff About Sensitization of International Patient Safety Goal

Background: The global focus on patient safety has signicantly increased since the late 1990s, resulting in a notable shift in the perception of patient safety. Originally a topic of limited scholarly attention, it has now become an integral part of healthcare systems across the globe. The International Patient Safety Goals (IPSG) are crucial directives established by Joint Commission International to enhance the provision of secure and exceptional patient care. Ensuring patient safety is the duty of all healthcare staff, whether they are directly or indirectly involved in patient care. Methods: This prospective study employed stratied sampling to determine the required number of doctors, nurses, and GDS. A validated questionnaire was employed to evaluate the level of awareness among healthcare staff regarding the IPSG. Each successful answer was allocated a score of '1', while bad responses received a score of '0'. The data was gathered and organized in a Microsoft Excel database. Analysed data descriptively. Results: Doctors had the highest post-audit compliance (84.85%), followed by nurses (75.64%) and GDA (67.11%). The study members' compliance rates were signicant: 56.14% preaudit and 71.93% post-audit for IPSG A, and 54.39% and 3.68% for IPSG 1B. The compliance rate of study participants was considerable for IPSG 2C and IPSG 2D, with pre-audit compliance of 68.42% and post-audit compliance of 80.70% and 63.16%. The compliance rate of IPSG 4A research participants was signicant. Before the audit, IPSG 4A compliance was 64.91% and after, 80.70%. IPSG 4B compliance was 59.65% and after, 80.70% Conclusions: Current research shows that organizationally informing professionals about patient safety goals improves outcomes. To strengthen safety culture, a thorough framework can be built. Regular noncompliance reviews as part of continuous assessment can improve compliance. This improves patient safety, quality of life, and medical errors over time.
