Abstract:
Purpose:: This descriptive survey investigated the effects of clinical nurses’ critical reflection competency, professional pride, and person-centered care practices on patient safety management activities.
Methods:: The participants were 183 clinical nurses working at a tertiary hospital in South Korea. The questionnaires consisted of the Critical Reflection Competency Scale for Clinical Nurses Professional Pride the Person-Centered Nursing Assessment Tool and Patient Safety Management Activities. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-tests, ANOVA, Tukey’s HSD, Pearson’s correlation coefficient, and multiple regression using SPSS 29.0.
Results:: The mean score for patient safety management activities was 4.65±0.34 out of 5. There were significant differences in patient safety management activities according to age (F=3.90, p=.010), education level (t=-2.56, p=.013), total work experience (F=3.87, p=.010), and the number of healthcare accreditation system experiences (F=5.22, p=.006). Patient safety management activities were positively correlated with critical reflection competency (r=.337, p＜.001), professional pride (r=.271, p＜.001), and person-centered care practices (r=.399, p＜.001). The results indicated that person-centered care practices affected patient safety management activities (β=.358, p＜.001) with the explanatory power of 22.5%.
Conclusion:: To improve clinical nurses’ patient safety management activities, it is necessary to develop participatory educational programs that can integrate skills and attitudes based on conceptual knowledge of person-centered care. Intervention studies are needed to test the effect of person-centered care on patient safety when applied in clinical practice.
