Purpose: In this descriptive study, we aimed to identify factors influencing safe nursing activities of nurses working atpublic hospitals.
Methods: We collected data in March 2021 through an online survey. The subjects were 199 nurseswho had worked for at least six months at public hospitals. The self-reported questionnaire consisted of items pertainingto safe nursing activities, perception of patient safety culture, and the general characteristics of the subjects. To examinethe differences in the safe nursing activities and perception of patient safety culture by general characteristics, weemployed a t-test and ANOVA. We conducted a multiple linear regression analysis to explore the factors affecting safenursing activities.
Results: The mean score for safe nursing activity was 4.59±0.39. Perception of patient safety cultureand age group were found to be the main factors affecting the safe nursing activities of nurses working at public hospitals(F=17.24, p<.001, Adj. R2=.40). When the score for perception of patient safety culture increased by 1 point, the scorefor safe nursing activities increased by 0.58 points. In addition, the score for safe nursing activity in the 40s age groupwas 0.16 points higher than for those in the 20s age group.
Conclusion: Effective management and leadership in publichospitals is needed to improve the culture of patient safety at various levels so as to ensure safe nursing activities.
