Purpose: The aim of this study was to explore the relationships among shared leadership, self-efficacy, and patient safety culture awareness, and to identify their effects on patient safety management activities among military hospital nurses. Methods: This study employed a descriptive research design.
The participants were 123 nurses who had worked for at least six months and were directly involved in patient care. Data were collected through an online survey conducted at five military hospitals between May 1 and May 30, 2025. Results: Patient safety management activities showed statistically significant positive correlations with shared leadership (r=.64, p<.001), self-efficacy (r=.54, p<.001), and patient safety culture awareness (r=.65, p<.001). Shared leadership (β=.29, p=.002), self-efficacy (β=.20, p=.008), and patient safety culture awareness (β=.36, p<.001) were identified as significant predictors of patient safety management activities, explaining 59% of the variance. Conclusion: These findings suggest that enhancing shared leadership, self-efficacy, and awareness of patient safety culture is essential to promoting effective patient safety management activities among military hospital nurses.
