Evaluation of Studies Published on "Nurses' Attitudes Towards Patient Safety" in Turkey: A Bibliographic Review
Abstract:
Objective: This research aims to conduct a bibliographic analysis of national and international literature encompassing publications on nurses' attitudes towards patient safety. The goal is to identify similarities and divergences reported in the research outcomes.

Methods: This bibliographic review, conducted between December 2023 and January 2024, employed nine databases, including "Google Scholar, Journal Park Academic, Ulakbim-EKUAL, TR Index (TR Dizin), EBSCO-Host, Medline-Pubmed, Sucopus, Sobiad, and Web of Science," as national and international literature search engines. Utilizing key terms such as "nurse," "patient safety," and "attitude towards patient safety," a total of 365 studies conducted within the Turkish sample were identified without imposing a date restriction. Subsequently, 15 studies meeting the research criteria were selected for detailed examination.

Results: The analysis revealed that the majority of studies were conducted between 2022 and 2023 (n:9), primarily adopting a descriptive and cross-sectional design (n:13), and predominantly published in the Marmara region (n:5) and within hospitals under the Ministry of Health (n:29). A total of 3393 healthcare professionals were included in the analysis. The research predominantly addressed patient safety attitudes in a descriptive manner, indicating that, on the whole, nurses exhibited a moderate level of attitudes toward patient safety. Furthermore, personal and professional characteristics were found to be associated with attitudes towards patient safety.

Conclusion: The outcomes derived from the research underscore the necessity of generating knowledge based on scientific evidence related to patient safety and enhancing nurses' attitudes toward patient safety.

Keywords: Bibliographic review, patient safety, attitude towards patient safety, nurse.

《土耳其地区“护士对患者安全的态度”相关已发表研究评价：文献综述（Bibliographic Review）》
摘要：
研究目的：本研究拟对涵盖护士对患者安全态度相关研究的国内外文献开展文献分析，旨在甄别不同研究成果中报道的共性与差异。

研究方法：本次文献综述于2023年12月至2024年1月期间开展，共选用谷歌学术（Google Scholar）、Journal Park Academic、Ulakbim-EKUAL、TR索引（TR Index, TR Dizin）、EBSCO Host、Medline-Pubmed、Sucopus、Sobiad以及Web of Science共9个国内外文献检索数据库。以“护士”“患者安全”“患者安全态度”为关键检索词，未设置时间限制，共检索得到以土耳其群体为样本的相关研究365项。随后依据研究纳入标准筛选出15项研究进行详细分析。

研究结果：分析结果显示，绝大多数研究于2022年至2023年间开展（n=9），主要采用描述性横断面研究设计（n=13），研究开展地主要集中于马尔马拉地区（n=5），且发表于卫生部门下属医院的研究数量最多（n=29）。本次分析共纳入3393名医疗卫生从业人员。研究主要以描述性方式探讨患者安全态度，结果表明总体而言护士对患者安全的态度处于中等水平。此外，研究发现个人与职业特征与患者安全态度存在相关性。

研究结论：本研究结果凸显了开展基于科学证据的患者安全相关知识构建，以及提升护士对患者安全态度水平的必要性。
