Purpose
The purpose of this study was to identify factors affecting the Patient Safety Management Activity (PSMA) of nursing students according to levels of PSMA based on the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB).
Methods
A descriptive study was used. The participants were 135 nursing students from universities in Korea. Data were collected with self-reported questionnaires through online survey. The questionnaire consisted of PSMA scale and modified version of the TBP-based questionnaire. Data were analyzed using multiple linear regression and quantile regression.
Results
The average score of PSMA was 4.09±0.44 out of 5 points. In the multiple linear regression, patient safety education, subjective norm, perceived behavioral control and intention were significant factors. In the quantile regression, place of clinical practice (in 75%), patient safety education (in 50% and 90%), subjective norm (in 75%), perceived behavioral control (in 50% and 75%) and intention (in 50%) were significant factors.
Conclusion
We confirmed the dynamic influences of all factors according to the levels of PSMA. It is proposed that the affecting factors according to the levels of PSMA should be considered in designing effective programs to enhance PSMA among nursing students.

PURPOSE
The purpose of this study was to investigate predictors of nurses' patient safety behavior during inter-hospital transfer. The study was based on the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB).
METHODS
A descriptive survey design was used. Data were collected with a self-administrated 39-item questionnaire completed by 111 nurses from a university hospital in Seoul, South Korea. The questionnaire was developed based on the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) guideline and included measure of self- reported past patient safety behaviors, intentions, attitudes, subjective norms and perceived behavioral controls. Ethical approval was granted by the hospital review board. Hierarchical regression analyses were carried out.
RESULTS
The average score of patient safety behavior was 4.21±0.63 (5 point scale). The TPB variables explained 49.9%of the variance in patient safety behavior. Intention and subjective norm were the most significant predictors of nurses' patient safety behavior. Attitude was related to nurses'patient safety behavior.
CONCLUSION
TPB variables predicted the nurses'patient safety behavior during inter-hospital transfer of patients except for perceived behavioral controls. The results of this study suggest that better strategies for subjective norms and intentions related to patient safety behavior will be helpful in safety culture reform.
