Abstract

This study is aimed to investigate the relationship among safety accident and perception of patient safety culture, to provide the basic data for building the patient safety culture of hospital nurses. The self-administered questionnaires were given to 129 nurses employed in hospital during the period from November 10th to 15th, 2011. The safety accident occurrence of patient was statistically significant difference according to safety education of nurse and job satisfaction of nurses. As a results, nurses' perception to the patient safety culture of hospital shows on the average score($3.46{\pm}0.3$). Among three categories, patient safety culture in a ward, and patient safety culture within hospital and safety awareness in a ward show respectively on the average score $3.59{\pm}0.3$, $3.41{\pm}0.5$, $3.41{\pm}0.4$. The score of level of patient safety culture of hospital nurses was statistically significant difference according to marital status, safety education, occupational satisfaction and health status. In correlation among safety accident occurrence of patient and safety education of nurse, patient safety culture in a ward, patient safety culture within hospital and safety awareness in a ward showed positive relationship. The results of this study indicate that education program are needed to prevent safety accident occurrence of patient, and to build the patient safety culture of hospital nurses, and to increase the safety education and occupational satisfaction, and to improve the nurses' health status.

본 연구는 환자안전문화 인식에 따른 안전사고 발생을 알아보고 환자안전문화의 관계를 파악하여 환자안전문화 프로그램개발에 기초 자료를 제공하기 위하여 시도되었다. 대상자는 강원도에 소재하고 있는 종합병원의 간호사 129명을 대상으로 하였다. 자료수집은 2011년 11월 10일부터 11월 15일 까지의 기간 동안에 구조화된 무기명 자기기입식 설문지를 이용한 설문조사에 의하였다. 간호사의 환자안전문화 인식은 평균 3.46점이었고, 세 가지 영역에서는, 병동의 환자안전문화 점수와 병원조직의 환자안전문화 점수 및 병동의 안전의식 수준의 점수는 각각 $3.59{\pm}0.3$점, $3.41{\pm}0.5$점, $3.41{\pm}0.4$점 이었다. 환자안전사고 발생은 간호사의 안전교육 경험과 병원근무 만족도에 따라 유의한 차이가 있었다. 환자안전문화 인식점수는 간호사의 결혼상태, 안전교육, 직무 만족도, 건강상태에 따라 유의한 차이가 있었다. 환자안전사고 발생은 간호사의 안전교육경험과 근무만족도에 따라 유의한 차이가 있었다. 환자의 안전사고발생은 간호사의 안전교육과 병동의 환자안전문화, 병원조직의 환자안전문화, 병동의 안전의식수과의 유의한 상관관계가 있었다. 본 연구의 결과로는, 환자안전사고 발생을 예방하고 병원 간호사의 환자안전문화를 구축하기 위해서는 교육프로그램이 필요하며, 간호사의 안전교육과 직업만족도를 증가시키고, 간호사의 건강상태를 개선시킬 필요가 있다.
