Understanding safety measure practices and improvement strategies among health professionals in resource-limited health care settings in the Awi Zone, Amhara, Ethiopia: a qualitative study
The implementation of safety measures was inconsistent. To enhance safety measures, addressing individual behaviours and issues that are structural, cultural and systemic is essential. Encouraging participation, fostering teamwork and implementing regular monitoring can help make safety practices a routine part of the organisation. This would make the workplace safer, improve healthcare and enhance the overall effectiveness of the healthcare system. This study provides valuable insights that can inform the development of effective implementation strategies in other resource-limited settings.
