Overview
In this project, the investigators will investigate three important factors to optimize working conditions and patient safety: Joy in Work, Resilience Capacity, and Patient safety culture using both questionnaires and focus group interviews.
Detailed description
Already in 2021, the Norwegian Patient Safety Conference 'In Safe Hands 24-7' focused on adaptability: "How can health care professionals learn from what goes well?" Working to be excellent, identifying areas for improvement, and succeeding in a continuous improvement process. A solid patient safety culture requires competent and adaptable health care professionals, leaders, and health care systems. Joy in work is the experiential factor that revolves around opportunities for personal development, influencing one's own work, having individual contributions valued, and feeling like a meaningful part of the community.
This project spans three years-before (2024), during (2025), and after (2026) the physical co-location of Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery at Oslo university hospital. Four-hundred (n=400) health care professionals are working at Department of Cardiothoracic surgery, Oslo University Hospital, Norway and are eligible to be included in the study.
Health care professionals view of Joy in Work, Resilience Capacity, and Patient safety culture will be described using three international questionnaires. It is within the scope of the study to perform sub-analysis due to sub-categories of the questionnaires. Analysis across the questionnaires will be performed.
Furthermore, the three terms Joy in Work, Resilience Capacity, and Patient safety culture will be explored by approximately 10 % of the four-hundred (n=40) health care professionals in 5-6 focus group interviews, in 2024, 2025 and 2026..
