Abstract Background Patient safety is defined as an activity that minimizes and removes possible errors injuries to patients. A number of factors have been found influence patient management, including the facilities available in practice, communication collaboration, education regarding generic conditions. This study tested a theoretical model interventions based on antecedents. Methods Medical professionals were surveyed using questionnaire developed by Gaal et al.

Results SEM proved be effective tool analyse care. practice appear no significant management case female respondents, those below mean age, who are not GPs (general practitioner) respondents working counselling centres.
