Patient safety is one of the most important elements in creating health care quality due to the fact that it is a critical component to the quality of health care and many errors are present in patient care and treatment practices.. Thus, the aim of the present study was to determine the status of the patient safety culture and its relationship with events reported in Yasuj hospitals. Methods: The present descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted on 361 medical staff of Yasuj hospitals. The data were collected through a hospital survey on patient safety culture. The collected data were analyzed by using SPSS statistics soft ware version 21, using Descriptive methods, Pearson Coefficient, ANOVA, and T-Test. Results: The results of the present study revealed that the teamwork among hospital units (71/89percent), with expectations and management measures (66/38%) in the case of safety obtained the most score and non-punitive response to errors (48/79%) and manager support (55/88 percent) obtained the least score. 73/7% of employees of three hospitals in the past 12 months did not report any event. In addition, there was a meaningful statistical relationship between the total score of safety culture and reporting the events. In this study, 15.5 % of respondents assess their safety culture in work as good, 44.3 % as acceptable and 30.5 percent reported poor. The overall safety culture among the three studied hospitals was 61.81 %. Results confirmed that the culture safety of patient in studied hospitals was average. Conclusions: The hospitals may rely on their strong points in terms of patient safety culture and try to remove their weak points to form a safe environment and appropriate atmosphere. By the same token, increasing the number of workers in administrative sections, a large amount of work, decreasing work time and creating a reporting system may help improve the safety and patient safety culture. . }, URL = {http://armaghanj.yums.ac.ir/article-1-979-en.html}, eprint = {http://armaghanj.yums.ac.ir/article-1-979-en.pdf}, journal = {Armaghane Danesh}, doi = {}, year = {2016} }
