Abstract Background:. Patient safety is defined as an activity that minimizes and removes possible errors and injuries to patients. A number of factors have been found to influence patient safety management, including the facilities available in the practice, communication and collaboration, education regarding patient safety and generic conditions. This study tested a theoretical model of patient safety interventions based on safety antecedents. Methods: Medical professionals were surveyed using a questionnaire developed by Gaal et al. The results were analyzed with SPSS 20 and AMOS. A hypothetical model of direct and indirect effects on patient safety in a primary care environment was created and analyzed using structural equation modeling (SEM). Results: SEM proved to be an effective tool to analyse safety in primary care. The facilities in the practice appear to have no significant influence on patient safety management in the case of female respondents, those below mean age, those who are not GPs (general practitioner) and respondents not working in counselling centres.Conclusions: The integrated safety model described in the study can improve patient safety management.

Abstract Background: To create an integrative model of patient safety, concerning antecedents based on the perception of patient safety improvement strategies expressed by primary care professionals: facilities available in the practice, communication and collaboration, education on patient safety and generic conditions for patient safety. Methods: We attended several conferences and seminars in Poland where we presented these strategies. In this way, we gained contacts with doctors potentially interested in patient safety. We ensured ourselves contact persons who could respond to our questionnaire. Those persons assured us that they would send the names of prospective respondents. In this research we were used questionnaire form research Gaal S, Verstappen W, Wensing M (1). The results were analyzed with SPSS 20 and AMOS. A hypothetical model of direct and indirect effects on patient safety in a primary care environment was created and analyzed using structural equation modeling (SEM). Results: Improved implementation of strategies was directly and indirectly associated with better patient safety. SEM proved to be an effective tool to analyse safety in primary care. The facilities in the practice appear to have no significant influence on patient safety management in the case of female respondents, those age lower than mean, current professional discipline is not GP and respondents not work in counselling centres.Conclusions: The following should be improved to ensure patient safety: Generic conditions for patient safety, facilities in the practice, communication and collaboration, and education on patient safety.
