Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the influence of nursing work environment and patient safety culture on fall prevention activities among hospital nurses.
Methods: The participants were 177 nurses working at eight hospitals including clinics, general hospitals, and tertiary care hospitals located in B city. Data were collected using self-report questionnaires and analyzed using t-test, one-way ANOVA, Scheffe test. Pearson’s correlation coefficients, and hierarchical multiple regression with SPSS/WIN 26.0.
Results: Fall prevention activities were positively correlated with nursing work environment (r=.25, p=.001) and patient safety culture (r=.49, p<.001). Fall prevention activities were found to be significantly affected by patient safety culture (β=.47, p<.001) and being a training hospital (β=.21, p=.006).
Conclusion: The findings from this study indicate that patient safety culture is associated with fall prevention activities. In order to increase fall prevention activities, it is important to improve patient safety culture. Additionally, the health care organization should develop programs to increase fall prevention activities.
