Data were collected using self-report questionnaires and analyzed using descriptive statistics, independent t-test, one-way ANOVA, Scheffé test. Pearson’s correlation coefficients, and hierarchical multiple regression with SPSS/WIN 26.0. Results: Fall prevention activities were positively correlated with nursing work environment (r=.25, p=.001) and patient safety culture (r=.49, p<.001). Fall prevention activities were found to be significantly affected by patient safety culture (β=.47, p<.001) and being a training hospital (β=.21, p=.006).
