La sécurité des patients et la sécurité au travail sont deux défis majeurs pour les hôpitaux. Des études récentes ont identifié des sujets clés qui constituent une base essentielle pour promouvoir les deux. La présente étude a examiné les perceptions du personnel hospitalier sur quatre sujets différents: (1) les conditions de travail psychosociales, (2) le leadership, (3) le climat de sécurité des patients et (4) le climat de sécurité des travailleurs.

Promoting patient and occupational safety are two key challenges for hospitals. When aiming to improve these two outcomes synergistically, psychosocial working conditions, leadership by hospital management and supervisors, and perceptions of patient and occupational safety climate have to be considered. Recent studies have shown that these key topics are interrelated and form a critical foundation for promoting patient and occupational safety in hospitals. So far, these topics have mainly been studied independently from each other. The present study investigated hospital staffs’ perceptions of four different topics: (1) psychosocial working conditions, (2) leadership, (3) patient safety climate, and (4) occupational safety climate. We present results from a survey in two German university hospitals aiming to detect differences between nurses and physicians.
