Purpose: The purpose of this study was to develop a tool to evaluate patient safety culture in nursing homes and to test its validity and reliability. Methods: A preliminary tool was developed through interviews with focus group, content validity tests, and a pilot study. A nationwide survey was conducted from February to April, 2011, using self-report questionnaires. Participants were 982 employees in nursing homes. Data were analyzed using Cronbach's alpha, item analysis, factor analysis, and multitrait/multi-Item analysis. Results: From the results of the analysis, 27 final items were selected from 49 items on the preliminary tool. Items with low correlation with total scale were excluded. The 4 factors sorted by factor analysis contributed 63.4% of the variance in the total scale. The factors were labeled as leadership, organizational system, working attitude, management practice. Cronbach's alpha for internal consistency was .95 and the range for the 4 factors was from .86 to .93. Conclusion: The results of this study indicate that the Korean Patient Safety Culture Scale has reliability and validity and is suitable for evaluation of patient safety culture in Korean nursing homes.

Background: Stressed workers suffer from severe health problems which appear to have increased. Poor leadership is especially considered a source of stress. Indeed, supervisors might perceive their subordinates to be similar to them as far as stress is concerned and this might more widespread in organizations than previously thought. Methods: The present research investigates the relationships between leaders' health, in terms of work-related stress, mental health, and workplace bullying and their evaluation of subordinates' stress. Five regression models were formulated to test our hypothesis. This is a cross-sectional study among 261 Italian leaders, using supervisor self-assessment and leaders' assessments of their subordinates. Results: Leaders' health was related to their evaluation of staff stress. Job demand, lack of job control, and lack of support by colleagues and supervisors evaluated in their subordinates were particularly associated with the leaders' own health.

"습관을 바꾸면 인생이 바뀐다."는 말이 있다. 스티븐 코비가 지은 "성공하는 사람의 7가지 습관"에 나오는 말들은 우리가 익히 알고 있는 내용들이다. 예를 들어 목표를 가지고 행동으로 실천하라, 일의 순서를 정하고 중요한 것부터 처리하도록 하라, 경청한 다음 이해시켜라 등 그리 어려운 얘기들이 아니다. 하지만 왜 성공하기가 어려운 것일까? 스티븐 코비는 이렇게 말한다 '악의 이파리를 수천 개 잘라내는 것 보다 뿌리를 잘라 내는 것이 더 낫다' 우리가 자신의 태도와 행동에 지엽적인 변화만 주는 것을 그만두고, 그 대신 자신의 태도와 행동의 근본 뿌리인 패러다임을 변화시킬 때라야 비로소 획기적 개선을 달성할 수 있는 것이다.
