ABSTRACT

Purpose: This study is aimed to provide the fundamental data for building the patient safety culture by identifying the perceptions of patient safety culture of hospital nurses. Methods: This study was based by the questionnaire of the Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture invented by Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality(AHRQ, 2004) surveyed by 284 hospital nurses. Results: In the dimensions of unit-level safety culture, the score of supervisor/manager expectations and actions was the highest of 3.72(0.49) and staffing was the lowest of 2.70(0.43). The correlation between the overall perceptions of safety and all dimensions except staffing showed a positive result (r=.16∼.48, p<.05) in the relationship among safety culture, level and event reporting system. The difference of p value of perception of the patient safety culture according to the characteristics of responders showed significantly high (p<.05), in higher education level, higher position, married status, and more than 15 years of service. Conclusion: Organizational learning and teamwork, communication openness, feedback and communication about error, active support of hospital management, and cooperation would be crucial to promote the overall perceptions of patient safety of hospital nurses and to improve the quality of the event reporting system.
