Abstract Patient safety is a foundational principle of healthcare, but preventable harm remains a significant global issue, particularly in low- and middle-income countries.1 This paper assesses the patient safety culture (PSC) and its determinants among healthcare professionals in Lucknow, India, to provide a localized, evidence-based understanding of the issue. The study, conducted between 2015 and 2025, utilizes a mixed-method approach, including a cross-sectional survey of 200 healthcare workers (doctors, nurses, and paramedical staff) across public hospitals. The research instrument, a culturally adapted version of the Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture (HSOPSC), evaluates dimensions such as teamwork, communication, and management support.2 Statistical analysis, including one-way ANOVA, t-tests, and Chi-Square tests, were used to explore associations between PSC and demographic variables. The anticipated findings indicate a low-to-moderate patient safety culture, with significant weaknesses in areas like management support, staff strength, and a non-punitive response to error. These findings are to highlight systemic failures rather than individual incompetence, underscoring the urgent need for context-specific, multi-level interventions. The study's conclusions provide a diagnostic framework for policymakers and hospital administrators to develop pragmatic strategies, from government-level policy enforcement to organizational and clinical-level improvements, to foster a robust safety culture and reduce preventable harm in the region.
