Purpose: This study aimed to identify the relationships between patient safety culture perception and patient safety care activities, and address the factors influencing patient safety care activities.
Methods: Participants comprised 247 nurses working at three general hospitals located in the Changwon, South Korea area. Self-questionnaires were used to collect the data, and were administered between January 25 and 31, 2018. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-tests, Pearson's correlation coefficients, and multiple regression analysis with SPSS/WIN 21.0 software.
Results: There were significant positive relationships between patient safety culture perception and patient safety care activities (r=.57, p<.001). Factors influencing patient safety care activities among the participants were identified as patient safety knowledge and attitude (β=.20, ρ=.006), working in a non-punitive environment (β=.18, ρ=.007), and age (β=.15, ρ=.040). The explanation power of the regression model was 35.8%.
Conclusion: The results suggest that to enhance patient safety care activities, it is necessary to improve nursing education concerning patient safety knowledge and attitude, especially considering age. In addition, a nurses will benefit from working in a non-punitive environment.
