Abstract

Purpose
The purpose of this study was to compare perception of patient safety culture and safety care activities between university hospital nurses (group A) and small hospital nurses (group B).
Methods
Using a structured questionnaire, data were collected from 246 university hospital nurses and 223 small hospital nurses working in Seoul or Gyeonggi Province. Descriptive statistics, x²-test, ANCOVA, t-test, ANOVA with the SPSS package were used for data analysis.
Results
Total score for perception of patient safety culture and 3 subcategories of perception of patient safety culture were statistically significantly higher for group B compared to group A. Operation room nursing, falls, and bed sore scores in patient safety care activities were statistically significantly higher for group A than for group B.
Conclusion
The study findings suggest that the specific characteristics by size should be considered when developing effective patient safety culture in hospitals.
Key Words: Patient safety; Safety management; Hospitals; Nurses
