ABSTRACT

Purpose : This study was conducted to investigate military nurses’ perception on patient safety culture andtheir performance on patient safety nursing, to identify the factors that influence the performance of patientsafety nursing, and to suggest fundamental data for the development of the educational programs and thepolicies on patient safety for the military hospitals. Methods : The study was designed as a descriptive studyusing the survey tool for patient safety culture developed by AHRQ in 2004 and the questionnaire for patientsafety nursing performance developed by our research team in 2012. The data were collected from the nurseswho worked at the military hospitals from July 23 to August 24, 2012 and were analyzed by SPSS Win 12.0. Results : The mean score of the military nurses’ perception on patient safety culture and theirperformance score on patient safety nursing was 3.52(±.3) and 4.49(±.40), respectively. The perceptionlevels of patient safety culture were significantly different in rank, position, working area, experience ofsafety education, and the number of reporting failures. The perception on patient safety culture and theperformance on patient safety nursing were highly correlated(r=.413, p=.000), and all the subcategoriesof patient safety culture except "staffing" had a significant correlation with the performance on patientsafety nursing. The categories of the perception on patient safety culture such as "Feedback andCommunication about Error" "Supervisor/Manager Expectation & Actions Promoting Safety" and "HospitalHand-offs and Transitions" had an effect on the performance of patient safety nursing. Conclusion : Themilitary nurses’ perception on patient safety culture and their performance on patient safety nursing weredifferent according to their demographic factors such as rank, position, working area, and educationallevel. Therefore, the characteristics of target group should be considered individually when theeducational programs and policies on patient safety are being developed.
