Abstract

Have you come across this scenario, "#Nurse why did you do it this way"? Nurse replies, "this is how it is normally done". Norm, what importance is this word to us. Norm is something that is usually, typical or standard. How can healthcare workers use this culture of norm in patient safety? How do we transform them into getting the norm attitude when complying with the guidelines and standards on patient safety? In today's #healthcare system patient safety is the priority. A patient that walks into a healthcare facility would want to be and feel safe in the hand of the healthcare workers. His/her safety lies in their hands. They don't want to prolong their stay here and would like to be with their loved ones. Furthermore, longer stay means more #expenses, mortality or morbidity. For the healthcare facility patients that are involved in incident on their safety means litigation, increase in expenses and workload. Focusing on improving safety culture, the focus is healthcare workers knowledge, beliefs, values, norms and behavioral character. A survey was conducted in a 52 bedded ward on nurse's compliance towards #infection control guideline.
