Abstract
This study was conducted to evaluate understanding of patient safety culture and the factors that influence this understanding among general hospital employees. To collect data, this study surveyed 343 employees of five general hospitals that were located in G metropolitan city and were authorized through medical institute certification. The data were collected from March 12 to April 21, 2017. For the data collected, a t-test, variance analysis, post-hoc analysis, and multiple regression analysis were conducted. The analyses revealed that the scores of understanding of patient safety culture were $3.27{\pm}.27$ with a perfect score of 5. Analysis of differences in understanding of patient safety culture revealed significant differences according to hospital service career, present department service career, professional career, and work units. Factors that influence understanding of patient safety culture were more than 11 year- hospital service career, 6 and 10 service years, and ward employees. Overall, the results of this study suggest that employees should receive education to improve understanding of patient safety culture and measures to change the understanding should be developed.
