The Relationships among Awareness of Patient Safety Culture, Critical Thinking Disposition and Patient Safety Nursing Activities of Nurses among Comprehensive Nursing Care Service Ward

This study was conducted to identify the levels of patient safety culture, critical thinking disposition, and patient safety nursing activities and determine the factors affected by patient safety nursing activities among nurses in comprehensive nursing care service wards. Subjects consisted of 150 nurses from general hospitals in B city, Korea, and data were analyzed using the SPSS Win 21.0 program. The mean scores of awareness of patient safety culture, critical thinking disposition, and patient safety nursing activities were $3.32{\pm}0.32$, $3.50{\pm}0.31$, and $4.28{\pm}0.46$, respectively. The awareness of patient safety culture was significantly different by clinical career in the present unit (F=4.79, p=0.001). The critical thinking disposition was significantly different by age (F=3.89, p=0.010) and position (F=6.40, p=0.002). There were differences in the scores of patient safety nursing activities according to position (F=3.19, p=0.044). Additionally, hospital environment (${\beta}=0.25$, p=0.014), supervisor attitude (${\beta}=0.20$, p=0.046), and position (${\beta}=0.14$, p=0.040) accounted for a 44.4% variance in patient safety nursing activities. To promote patient safety nursing activities in comprehensive nursing care service wards, positive awareness of the hospital's safety environment and support from the manager are required.

간호·간병통합서비스병동간호사의 환자안전문화인식, 비판적 사고성향과 환자안전간호활동의 관계

본 논문은 간호 간병통합서비스병동간호사의 환자안전문화인식, 비판적 사고성향과 환자안전간호활동을 파악하고, 환자안전간호활동에 영향을 미치는 요인을 규명하고자 하였다. B시 3개 종합병원에서 간호 간병통합서비스병동간호사 150명을 대상으로 2017년 8월 20일부터 9월 10일까지 자료를 수집하였고, SPSS WIN 21.0을 이용하여 분석하였다. 간호 간병통합서비스병동간호사의 환자안전문화인식은 $3.32{\pm}0.32$점, 비판적 사고성향은 $3.50{\pm}0.31$점, 환자안전간호활동은 $4.28{\pm}0.46$점으로 나타났다. 환자안전문화인식은 간호 간병통합서비스병동 근무경력(F=4.79, p=.001)에 따라 유의한 차이를 보였다. 비판적 사고성향은 연령(F=3.89, p=.010), 직위(F=6.40, p=.002)에 따라 유의한 차이를 보였다. 환자안전간호활동은 직위(F=3.19, p=.044)에 따라 유의한 차이가 있었다. 간호 간병통합서비스병동간호사의의 환자안전간호활동 영향요인은 병원의 환자안전문화(${\beta}=.25$, p=.014), 상관/관리자의 태도(${\beta}=.20$, p=.046), 직위 ${\beta}=.14$, p=.040)였고, 설명력은 44.4%이었다. 간호 간병통합서비스간호사의 환자안전간호활동을 증진시키기 위해서는 병원의 환자안전문화에 대한 긍정적 인식 조성과 상관/관리자의 지지가 요구된다.
