Abstract :One of the most basic human needs is security. Since health institutions are one of the places that every person visits at least once in their life, safety in these environments has a special importance. Therefore, this study was conducted with the aim of compiling studies addressing the themes of \`safety culture\` and \`safety climate\`. Very few studies insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(n=10); have been reached due to reasons such as the lack of a current and still a clear definition, and the single dimension of security culture. In our country, it has been observed that evaluating the safety culture with all its dimensions has been discussed in only three studies. In addition, within the scope of this study, seven studies conducted in different countries were examined. In all studies, all health professionals or some occupational groups such as physicians, nurses and midwives were evaluated, and it was observed that physicians, those who work less than 40 hours a week and administrators have higher perceptions of safety culture. In almost all studies, it has been observed that the safety culture is at a moderate or good level, but it has been determined that the physical, spiritual and social dimensions are not considered together.
