It was found that the sub-dimension of PSCHQ with the highest positive response percentage was “team work within the units insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(68.5%);”, and the sub-dimensions that were determined as tests and whose dimensions were required first were “staffing insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(26.9%);”, “hospital interventions and insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(28.3%);” and “error reporting rate insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(29.4%);” and “open breakdown of communication insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(37%);”. In the study, the difference between the women insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(46.56±22.64); and the configuration insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(35.71±26.73); “HSPSC-comprehensive perception of security” sub-dimension positive response percentage average was maintained as closed insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p=0.027);. The difference between the mean percentage of positive responses belonging to the \`HSPSC-error reporting rate\` sub-dimension of male administrators insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(45.24±45.55); and female administrators insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(28.23±39.92); was obtained as the extent of difference insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p=0.037);.
