Abstract:
Purpose:: The purposes of this study were to examine the levels of job stress, perceptions of the patient safety culture, and patient safety nursing activities, and to identify factors influencing patient safety nursing activities among intensive care unit (ICU) nurses.
Methods:: For this cross-sectional study, data were collected from 161ICU nurses working in two university-affiliated hospitals in Gyeonggi-do between June 30 and July 30, 2020.The data were analyzed with descriptive statistics, an independent t-test, a one-way ANOVA, the Pearsoncorrelation method, and multiple regression using the SPSS program.
Results:: The average levels of job stress, perception of patient safety culture, and patient safety nursing activities were 3.48, 3.44, and 4.45 out of 5, respectively. Multiple regression showed that perception of patient safety culture and career in current workplace were found to be statistically significant correlates of patient safety nursing activities.
Conclusion:: In order to promote patient safety nursing activities, patient safety culture needs to be incorporated into the education of ICU nurses. Perception of patient safety should be enhanced to improve patients safety nursing activity.
