Study Setting, Design, and Participants
St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital is a 78-bed pediatric hospital
with integrated outpatient clinics offering subspecialty and surgical
services for children with cancer, blood disorders, and other
catastrophic diseases. Approximately 7,500 patients are seen per year.
Responses from a cross-sectional survey as part of a routine patient
safety culture assessment were collected from MDs, APPs, and nurses in
December 2018. Participants were
recruited through email invitations from hospital leadership, newsletter
announcements, digital signage, and mailed invitation postcards.
Participants were categorized as inpatient nurses, ambulatory nurses,
MDs and APPs. A subset of this study’s data was used in a previous
publication.15
