Parry G, Horowitz L, Goldmann D. Patient safety attitudes of paediatric trainee physicians. Quality and Safety in Health Care. 2009;18(6):462-466.This study in an academic pediatric hospital used Safety Attitude Questionnaires and a specific survey to assess physician trainee attitudes toward safety. The data showed that trainees appear comfortable with caring independently for patients, but less so caring interdependently. The authors note that recently developed patient safety culture instruments may enable additional understanding of what could be implemented to make improvements.
