Abstract:
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of patient safety culture and perceived teamwork on the safety control of nurses. METHODS: This study was conducted as a descriptive cross-sectional survey with 141 nurses who worked in a tertiary hospital with over 1,000 beds in S city, Gyeonggi province. Data were collected using structured questionnaires from July 20, to July, 31, 2015. RESULTS: The average work period for nurses participating in the research was 8.84 years. The perceived teamwork and patient safety culture were positively correlated with safety control. The regression model with patient safety culture, perceived teamwork and clinical career against safety control was statistically significant (F=10.16, p<.001). This model also explained 37.1% of safety control (Adj. R2=.37). Especially, communication (β=.27, p=.023) of patient safety culture, clinical career (β=.26, p<.001), mutual support (β=.24, p=.042), and team leadership (β=.24, p=.018) in perceived teamwork were identified as factors influencing safety control. CONCLUSION: The findings of this study imply that a broad approach including teamwork and patient safety culture should be considered to improve the safety control for nurses.
