ABSTRACT

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to assess the burnout, organizational communication, and patient safety competency of military hospital nurses and to analyze their correlations. Methods: This descriptive study was conducted on 160 military nurses working in 12 armed forces hospitals in South Korea. Data were collected from May 4th to May 14th, 2023, using an online survey. Results: Military hospital nurses had an average of 2.71±0.62 for burnout, 3.25±0.48 for organizational communication, and 4.11±0.40 for patient safety competency. Burnout had a significant negative correlation with organizational communication (r=-.49, p<.001) and patient safety competency (r=-.16, p=.039), while organizational communication showed a significant positive correlation with patient safety competency (r=.23, p=.004). Conclusion: It is important to actively implement patient safety education and provide diverse opportunities to gain experience in patient safety-related roles. The need for effective burnout management for military hospital nurses and strategies to enhance organizational communication within military hospitals is highlighted.
