Materials and Methods: Ninety students were selected from different wards The questionnaire of patient safety culture AHRQ was used to collect the data Patient Safety Culture in interns were studied at 7 field Using this reliable and sustainable tool. Scoring question related to any item 5 degrees (1 to 5) using Likert done. The options include strongly disagree, disagree, neutral, agree and strongly agree is. Using nonparametric tests, the ratio of responsiveness to each item was evaluated and the significance of ratios' difference was analyzed. Results: The overall results showed that the score mean of fields of work unit (p 0.01), replication errors (p>0.01) and hospital (p=0.03) were significantly higher and concessions degree of patient safety (p>0.01) scores is significantly lower than the average. Also in fields of supervision (p=0.058) and communications (p=0.1) means did not show significant difference from average. The degree of patient safety in terms of statistically significant difference between the scores of men and women (p>0.01) and hospital (p=0.01) was observed, while in other areas there are significant differences between the groups. Conclusion: The results of this study showed that in general in the field of patient safety culture needs to take a holistic is the lack of comprehensive management and efficient reduction of patient safety in the hospital, followed by an increase in injuries to patients and health sectors.
