Abstract

This study investigated the factors affecting the safety care activities of 227 nurses in 7 small and medium-sized hospitals in G-city. Data were collected from May 16th to 23rd, 2016, and analyzed using descriptive statistics, the t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson's correlation, and multiple regression with SPSS 18. The levels of patient safety attitudes, safety control and safety care activities were 4.11, 3.74 and 4.33 out of 5, respectively. In the analysis of the patient safety attitudes, there were significant differences in education level and job satisfaction. In the analysis of safety control, there were significant differences in age, education level, working experience, position, experience of safety education, experience of safety accidents, and job satisfaction. In the analysis of the safety care activities, significant differences were found in the education level, work department, experience of safety education, and job satisfaction. The patient safety attitudes, safety control, and safety care activities were positively correlated (with each other). The major factor affecting the safety care activities was the patient safety attitude, followed by safety control and experience of safety education. These findings emphasize the need for nurses to change their perception of patient safety attitudes and safety control, in order to reinforce their safety care activities. They also suggest that various safety nursing cases and systematic support should be provided for continuous patient safety education.

본 연구는 중소병원 간호사의 안전간호활동에 영향을 미치는 요인을 파악하기 위한 서술적 조사연구이다. 연구대상은 G광역시에 소재하는 7개 중소병원 간호사 227명을 대상으로 하였다. 자료수집은 2016년 5월 16일부터 5월 23일까지 이루어졌으며, 수집된 자료는 SPSS 18.0 program을 이용하여, 기술통계, t-test, one way ANOVA, Pearson's correlation, multiple regression으로 분석하였다. 분석 결과 환자안전태도 4.11점, 안전통제감 3.74점, 안전간호활동 4.33점이었다. 일반적 특성에 따른, 대상자의 환자안전태도는 학력과 직무만족도에서 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보였으며, 대상자의 안전통제감은 연령, 학력, 근무경력, 직위, 안전교육경험, 안전사고경험, 직무만족도에서 유의한 차이를 보였고, 대상자의 안전간호활동은 학력, 근무부서, 환자안전교육, 직무만족도에 따라 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보였다. 환자안전태도, 안전통제감, 안전간호활동 간에 유의한 양의 상관관계가 있었다. 대상자의 안전간호활동에 환자안전태도, 안전통제감, 환자안전교육이 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구를 기초로 중소병원 간호사들의 안전간호활동에 대한 강화를 위해서 환자안전태도와 안전통제감을 향상시킬 수 있는 인식전환이 필요하다. 또한, 지속적인 환자안전교육을 위한 다양한 안전 간호사례 제공과 체계적인 지원이 필요하다.
