Healthcare Workers in a General Hospital in B City who signed on the written consent participated in this study between February 12 and 28, 2017. A total of 244 copies were collected and were analyzed using the SPSS 22.0 program. The result mean score perception of Hospital environment was 3.26(${\pm}0.31$)point on a scale of 0 to 5, and Organizational culture 3.74(${\pm}0.54$)point, Reporting system 3.64(${\pm}0.57$)point. Factors influencing on perception of medical errors report is sex(${\beta}=.137$, p=.023), Type of occupation(${\beta}=289$, p=.001), Department of Nursing(${\beta}=-.196$, p=.023), Hospital environment(${\beta}=.327$, p=<.001), Organizational culture(${\beta}=.288$, p=<.001). Therefore management and hospital management efforts should be made to establish a system that enables healthcare workers to report without fear of medical errors reporting, and appropriate staffing and open communication.

본 연구의 목적은 종합병원 의료종사자들의 환자안전과 관련된 병원환경, 조직문화, 의료과오보고에 대한 인식을 파악하고, 의료과오보고에 영향을 미치는 요인을 확인하는 것이다. 연구방법은 B광역시 종합병원 의료종사자 244명을 대상으로 2017년 2월 13일부터 2월 28일까지 설문조사 후 SPSS 22.0 프로그램을 이용하여 분석하였다. 연구결과 병원환경 평균 점수는 5점 만점에 3.26(${\pm}0.31$)점, 조직문화 평균점수는 3.74(${\pm}0.54$)점, 의료과오보고 평균점수는 3.64(${\pm}0.57$)점이었고, 의료과오보고에 영향을 미치는 요인은 성별(${\beta}=.137$, p=.023), 직종(${\beta}=289$, p=.001), 간호직의 근무부서(${\beta}=-.196$, p=.023), 병원환경(${\beta}=.327$, p=<.001), 조직문화(${\beta}=.288$, p=<.001)로 나타났다. 그러므로 의료종사자들이 의료과오보고를 두려워하지 않고 보고할 수 있는 시스템을 구축하고 적절한 인력의 확보 및 배치와 개방된 의사소통이 이루어지도록 관리자와 병원경영진의 노력이 이루어져야 할 것이다.
