Abstract:
Purpose:This study investigated patient safety management activities among general hospital nurses and aimed to identify the factors influencing patient safety management activities.
Methods:A cross-sectional descriptive design included 159 ward nurses working at two tertiary hospitals located in Busan city. Data were collected with self-reported questionnaires from April 8 to April 20, 2024 and were analyzed using descriptive statistics, the t-test, analysis of variance, Pearson correlation coefficients, and multiple regression in SPSS 29.0.
Results:Factors significantly influencing patient safety management activities in nurses were perceptions of patient safety culture (β = .47, p < .001) and perceptions of patient rounding (β = .31, p < .001). The explanatory power of these variables was 43%.
Conclusion:This study found that perceptions of patient safety culture and perceptions of patient rounding had significant effects on nurses’ patient safety management activities. Thus, it is necessary to promote patient safety management activities among nurses through the development of intervention programs to improve perceptions of patient safety culture and perceptions of patient rounding.
