Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the factors affecting the perceptions of patient safety culture, safety care knowledge, and safety care activity among nurses at orthopedic hospitals.
Methods: Data were collected during Feb. 16 and Feb. 26, 2017, from 195 nurses of 9 small to medium sized orthopedic hospitals. Questionnaires about patient safety culture, safety care knowledge and activity were used. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Scheffe? test, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and stepwise multiple regression.
Results: The safety care activity was positively correlated with perceptions of patient safety culture (r=.50, p<.001) and knowledge (r=.48, p<.001). Factors that had influence on the safety care activity were the patient safety culture (β=.30, p<.001), age (β=.27, p<.001), and knowledge of the safety activity (β=.21, p=.004). The patient safety care activity was explained 36.6% by those factors.
Conclusion: To enhance the patient safety care activity, it should be provided the environment and open communication for the perceptions of patient safety culture and the in service education program for safety care knowledge.
