Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the role of Patient Safety Officers (PSOs) during the Covid-19 pandemic, focusing on how personality traits and systemic factors impacted their performance.
- Out of 117 PSOs invited, 78 completed a questionnaire that assessed their involvement in risk management processes, burnout, and the challenges faced during the pandemic’s first and third waves.
- Key findings indicate many PSOs stepped back from risk management to focus on clinical duties, with successful functioning reliant on managerial support, team mobilization, and recognition of their role's importance.
