Abstract

Patient safety improvement is primarily discussed around hospital settings. Since primary healthcare center is the gatekeeper to the health system in Indonesia, it has the premise of resolving community health problems. Little research was given attention on patient safety implementation at the primary care level. The study, therefore, aimed to determine factors related to health workers' knowledge about patient safety in primary healthcare centers of Bali province. This current study used a cross-sectional design. It was conducted from April to May 2021. The research population was all health workers who worked in 20 primary health centers of Buleleng regency, Bali. This study selected 699 respondents as samples that participated in the survey. The survey was a self-administered questionnaire consisting of closed questions. Multiple linear regression was then conducted to determine factors associated with health workers’ knowledge level regarding patient safety. Based on the multiple linear regression test, education level and exposure to information contribute to understanding patient safety (p < 0.01). Primary healthcare workers in Bali have sufficient knowledge regarding patient safety. However, some aspects need improvement. Effective communication and understanding of dangerous medication remain major challenges in patient safety practices. Thus, the Buleleng District Health Office must provide socialization, training, and policy on patient safety standards.
