Introduction: Patient safety is the initial foundation of quality healthcare that shared responsibility between policymakers as well as healthcare delivery, especially nurses, who aim for improvement. Interventions in patient safety culture reduce safety incidents, thereby, lowering the disability rates and deaths due to side effects of healthcare delivery. Therefore, this research aims to provide an overview of strategies to improve patient safety culture, which involves nurses in hospital settings.
Design and Methods: In this research, a Scoping review was carried out using online database searches at ProQuest, Ebsco, and Sciencedirect. The selected article was experimental research, using English, published between 2011-2021, and fulfilled the criteria for inclusion and exclusion set.
Result: In the initial disbursement, 480 articles were obtained with 13 studies that meet the inclusion criteria. The articles obtained used quasi-experimental research methods (2 articles), pre-post intervention design (4 articles), intervention time series (2 articles), randomized controlled trial (1 article), prospective cohort intervention (1 article), repeated cross-sectional experimental research (1 article), Mix quasi-experimental method non-randomized design and qualitative (1 article), and control groups (4 articles). Based on the articles obtained, the strategies to increase the patient safety culture in hospitals can be categorized into 4, which include educational, simulation, team, and comprehensive programs.
Conclusions: All interventions implemented possess a positive impact on patient safety culture.
