The objective was to provide a basis for planning tailored training programs aimed at improving patient safety care activities.


Methods : This study was conducted with 187 participants in small- and medium-sized general hospitals in K city in South Korea from March 15 to March 31, 2019. The data collected from participants were analyzed using descriptive statistics, a t-test, ANOVA, Pearson¡¯s correlation coefficients, and a multiple regression using IBM SPSS/WIN 21.0 software.

Results : Patient safety care activities were found to be correlated with incident reporting attitudes (r=.27, p < .001) and perceptions of the importance of patient safety management (r=.59, p < .001).
Further, perceptions of the importance of patient safety management had a complete mediating effect (¥â=.409, p < .001) on the relationship between incident reporting attitudes and patient safety care activities.

Conclusion : Based on the findings of this study, tailored training programs regarding patient safety care activities focused on boosting perceptions of the importance of patient safety management are highly recommended to improve nurses¡¯ patient safety care activities in small- and medium-sized general hospitals.
