Abstract

|
|
Purpose:This study was aimed to provide information on the awareness of patient safety culture and safety care activities among operating room (OR) nurses and to analyze the factors influencing the safety care activities.
Methods: For this descriptive research, self-reported questionnaires were administered to 168 OR nurses who were working at the university-affiliated and general hospitals. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Scheffe? test, Pearson’s correlation coefficient and Stepwise multiple regression with SPSS/WIN 17.0.
Results: The mean score of the awareness on patient safety culture was 3.27 out of 5 points and that of safety care activity was 4.31 out of 5. The statistically significant difference was found between experience of safety education and the awareness on patient safety culture. Also, the scores of safety care activities were significantly different according to OR nurses’ position, education levels, and experience of safety education. There was a positive correlation between the awareness of patient safety culture and safety care activity. Their explanatory power on safety care activity was 8.8%, which includes working environment in operating room 3.3% and nursing position 5.5%.
Conclusion: Compared to the level of patient safety activities, the OR nurses’ awareness on patient safety culture was low. Given the specific characteristics and conditions in each hospital, it needs to increase the OR nurses’ awareness on patient safety culture and activities related to patient safety.
