Impact of Patient Safety Competencies and Safety Control on Safety Management Activities among Operating Room Nurses

Purpose : This study aimed to examine the effects of patient safety competency and safety control on patient safety management activities among operating room nurses. Methods : A cross-sectional design was employed with a convenience sample of 198 operating room nurses from general and tertiary general hospitals. Data were collected using structured questionnaires from January 20 to February 7, 2025. Analyses were conducted with SPSS/WIN 28.0 program and included descriptive statistics, independent t-test, one-way ANOVA, Scheffé test, Pearson correlation coefficients, and stepwise multiple regression. Results : Patient safety management activities among operating room nurses showed significant positive correlations with patient safety competency(r＝.64) and safety control(r＝.58). Factors influencing patient safety management activities were identified as patient safety competency(β＝.42, p＝.001), safety control(β＝.24, p＝.003), sex(β＝.15, p＝.006), marital status(β＝.14, p ＝.010), type of hospital(β＝.14, p＝.010), and total clinical experience(β＝.11, p＝.048). The adjusted coefficient of determination was .48, indicating that the model explained 48.0% of the variance. The regression model was statistically significant(F＝30.89, p＜.001). Conclusion : These results provide a foundation for developing strategies to improve patient safety by addressing the key factors influencing patient safety management activities among operating room nurses.
