Results: The overall results showed that the score mean offields of work unit (p 0.01), replication errors (p>0.01) and hospital (p=0.03) were significantly higher and concessions degree of patient safety (p>0.01) scores is significantly lower than the average. Also in fields of supervision (p=0.058) and communications (p=0.1) means did not show significant difference from average. The degree of patient safety in terms of statistically significant difference between the scores of men and women (p>0.01) and hospital (p=0.01) was observed, while in other areas there are significant differences between the groups.
