Zusammenfassung:We conducted a cross-sectional study of patient safety culture aimed at examining the factors that influence patient safety culture in university hospitals under a universal health insurance system. The Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture developed by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality was used. The survey was distributed to 1066 hospital employees, and 864 responded. The confirmatory factor analysis showed a good fit of the results to the 12-composites model. The highest positive response rates were for “(1) Teamwork within units” (81%) and “(2) Supervisor/manager expectations and actions promoting patient safety” (80%), and the lowest was for “(10) Staffing” (36%). Hayashi’s quantification theory type 2 revealed that working hours per week had the greatest negative impact on patient safety culture. Under a universal health insurance system, workload and human resources might have a significant impact on the patient safety culture.
