Abstract:
Purpose:: In this study, we aimed to assess the impacts of grit, patient safety competence, and patient safety culture on the patient safety nursing activities of nurses in comprehensive nursing service wards.
Methods:: Here, a self-reported survey of 179 nurses from three tertiary hospitals was performed. Data from 171 valid responses were analyzed using descriptive statistics, independent t-test, one-way analysis of variance, Pearson’s correlation, and stepwise multiple regression analyses.
Results:: The key sub-factors influencing the patient safety nursing activities were attitude (β=.30, p ＜.001) and skill (β=.26, p ＜.001) in the patient safety competence factor and safety environment (β=.26, p ＜.001) in the patient safety culture factor. The regression model explained 42.7% of the variance in patient safety nursing activities (F=43.29, p ＜.001).
Conclusion:: Overall, these findings highlight the importance of improving the nurse attitude and skills related to patient safety as well as the safety environment in hospitals to enhance the patient safety nursing activities in comprehensive nursing service wards. Targeted educational and training programs should be provided along with organizational support to establish a safe and supportive nursing environment in comprehensive nursing service wards.
