This study is an experimental design study before and after an unequal control group to confirm the effect of the anesthesia nursing practice education program on the patient safety culture and organizational communication satisfaction of the perianesthesia nurse. Data was collected from 56 perianesthesia nurses nationwide through a questionnaire. The data were analyzed using the SPSS 27.0 program to analyze with descriptive statistics. As a result, the patient safety culture interaction between time and the experimental group (F=6.04, p=.017) and the organizational communication satisfaction score interaction were significant (F=4.97, p=.030). This study is of nursing significance in that a clinical practice education program for anesthesia nursing of perianesthesia nurses was developed and applied to the practical field. Based on the results of this study, it is suggested to develop and apply various practical adaptation programs to improve the practical capabilities of working nurses in the PACU using rapidly developing medical equipment.

The purpose of this study was to identify the factors affecting job satisfaction of PACU (post-anesthesia care unit) nurses in the context of job stress, organizational culture and professional identity. A total of 149 nurses participated in the cross-sectional, descriptive study suing a structured questionnaire. Job stress in pay and treatment category, innovation-oriented culture, relation-oriented culture, and professional identity were positively correlated with job satisfaction (r=.373, p<.001; r=.507, p<.001; r=.559, p<.001; r=.544, p<.001). The factors related to job satisfaction were professional identity (${\beta}=.391$, p<.001), relation oriented culture (${\beta}=.302$, p<.001), innovation oriented culture (${\beta}=.209$, p=.004), which accounted for 48.7% of the variance in job satisfaction. Professional identity was the most significant predictor of job satisfaction. Thus, in order to enhance the job satisfaction of nurses in the PACU, it is necessary to develop an education program that can improve professional identity and apply strategies for fostering relation and innovation oriented organization culture.
