Le résumé fourni par la source

Purpose: This study investigated how perceptions of reporting nurses' medical errors and patient safety culture affected patient safety nursing practices. Methods: The participants in this descriptive study were 157 nurses at four medical institutions located in Seoul, South Korea, recruited by convenience sampling. A cross-sectional design was employed. The data were obtained through self-reporting questionnaires from August 13 to 28, 2021. Statistical analyses were performed using SPSS version 25.0. Descriptive statistics were obtained, and the t-test, analysis of variance, Scheffé test, Pearson correlation coefficient, and stepwise multiple regression were performed. Results: The factors influencing patient safety nursing practices were total practical experience as a nurse (≥ 6 years), perceptions of patient safety culture, and perceptions of reporting nurses' medical errors. The overall explanatory power of these factors regarding patient safety nursing practices was 25.1%. Conclusion: To improve patient safety nursing practices, hospitals should provide education on patient safety nursing practices. Moreover, interventions should be developed and applied to promote the creation of a patient safety culture.
