Patient safety attitude among intensive care unit physicians and nurses: a multi-center study in Egypt

The dimensions "teamwork climate'', "safety climate'', and "stress recognition'' attained relatively low scores which calls for interventions such as team trainings, limitation of work hours and senior executive safety rounds. Physicians had significantly higher scores than nurses in four out of six domains which needs further research to identify the reasons and plan the appropriate improvement strategies. Future studies should track changes over time.
