Abstract:
: This study was conducted to investigate nurse’s perceptions of patient safety culture, organizational communication, and patient safety management activity levels and influential factors. Methods : A total of 183 nurses working at a general hospital located in “G.” was surveyed. The data were collected using a self-report questionnaire from July 12 to 25, 2018, and were analyzed using SPSS/WIN 21.0. Results : The factors affecting the research subjects’ patient safety management activities were organizational communication (β=.41, ρ<.000) and their perceptions of patient safety culture (β=.18, ρ <.025), which revealed an explanatory power of 29.5%. Conclusion : The findings show the importance of organizational communication and perceptions of patient safety culture in patient safety management activities. Healthcare organizations should develop programs to address these influencing factors.
