With providing high-quality health care services as the fundamental purpose, medical institutions should regard safeguarding patient safety as the core task. In recent years, the Chinese government has formulated relevant policies to promote patient safety. Medical institutions at all levels have formulated corresponding systems and measures in accordance with the policy requirements and the features of hospitals. However, due to the long-term impact of traditional harsh culture on the medical environment, many of the views and behaviors have not been fundamentally changed, leading to many problems in patient safety performance. As a group who first discover and handle patient safety problems, nurses can identify the causes of safety problems in a relatively accurate way. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct an in-depth study on the relationship between patient safety culture and safety performance in nursing. ; Tendo como propósito providenciar serviços de saúde de alta qualidade, as instituições médicas devem perspetivar a proteção da segurança do paciente como uma tarefa central. Nos últimos anos, o governo chinês elaborou políticas relevantes para promover a segurança do paciente e as instituições médicas de todos os tipos também têm desenvolvido várias atividades de segurança do paciente. Contudo, dado que o clima médico atual é afetado pela cultura tradicional de culpa-e-acusação, muitas das atitudes e comportamentos não foram mudados na essência, originando vários problemas de desempenho na segurança dos pacientes. Enquanto grupo ocupacional que primeiramente descobriu e lidou com os problemas da segurança dos pacientes, os enfermeiros conseguem identificar as causas dos problemas de segurança de uma forma relativamente precisa. Assim, é necessário realizar um estudo em profundidade sobre a relação entre a cultura de segurança do paciente e o desempenho de segurança na enfermagem.

Amid the improved official relationship between Washington and Taipei, this article investigates the relationship between American public opinion and cross-strait relations. It introduces different types of surveys and polls related to the issue; examines the causes for the American public's lack of attention to cross-strait relations; and discusses the interplay between public opinion and foreign policy, especially in the event of an armed conflict along the strait.

Despite the post-World War II emergence of many small states and growing economic interdependence, small state foreign policy still gets short shrift in international studies. This article seeks to enhance our understanding of the subject by examining the diplomatic recognition of Taiwan. At the time of writing, 23 countries in the world have picked Taiwan over China. This is puzzling at first sight, since China is much more powerful than Taiwan, and a vast majority of countries pick China over Taiwan. This article shows that a full understanding must simultaneously take into account the systemic, domestic and individual levels of analysis. This research lends itself to structural realism, which stresses the role of structural factors in foreign policies, especially among small states. On the domestic level of analysis, this study identifies three important actors: ideology, economy and geography. For structural and cultural reasons, major leaders of Taiwan's diplomatic allies are found to have loomed large in the diplomatic recognition of Taiwan. (China/GIGA)
