Abstract:

Work climate and safety culture play a crucial role in healthcare, influencing the quality of care and user satisfaction.To determine the relationship between work climate and patient safety culture among nurses in two Peruvian hospitals. A correlational, crosssectional study was conducted with 278 nurses from two hospitals in Lima: Hospital 1 and Hospital 2. Two questionnaires were applied: the CL-SPC for Work Climate by Palma Carrillo and the AHRQ Patient Safety Culture Survey, adapted to Spanish, both with proven reliability. In both hospitals, the work climate was perceived as moderately favorable (31.3% and 18%, respectively). The dimensions of self-realization (24.1% and 16.2%), job involvement (26.6% and 21.2%), communication (26.3% and 1 6.9%), and working conditions (32.0% and 18.0%) reflected similar trends. The supervision dimension was the only one rated as favorable, with scores of 20.9% and 18.7%, respectively. Among nurses perceiving a moderately favorable work climate, 34.7% and 32.4% in the two hospitals considered the patient safety culture acceptable. The outcomes dimension was rated as very good by 23.4% and 22.5%, respectively, while the unit/service and hospitallevel culture was deemed acceptable (35.9% and 31.5%, and 33.5% and 27.9%, respectively). A significant correlation was confirmed between work climate and patient safety culture, with coefficients of .497** and .662** (p < 0.05), indicating a statistically significant association between these factors among nurses.
