Influence of communication self-efficacy and perception of patient safety culture on experience of nursing errors among operating room nurses

초록

Purpose: This study was conducted to identify the influence of communication self-efficacy and perception of the patient safety culture on the experience of nursing errors among operating room nurses. Methods: A cross-sectional design was used, with a convenience sample of 184 operation room nurses from 16 hospitals in Korea. Data were collected through a structured self-administered survey. The questionnaires included Communication, Self Efficacy, Safety Attitude Questionnaire, and experiences of nursing errors in operation room. Data were analyzed using descriptive analysis, Shapiro-Wilk test, Mann-Whitney U test, Kruskal-Wallis test, Pearson correlation coefficients and multiple linear regression. Results: The experience of nursing errors had significant negative correlations with communication self-efficacy (r=-.39, p<.001) and perception of the patient safety culture (r=-.36, p<.001). Factors significantly influencing the experiences of nursing errors included communication self-efficacy (β=-.25, p=.002), and perception of patient safety culture (β=-.21, p=.009). The overall explanatory power was 19% (F=14.85, p<.001). Conclusion: It is necessary to develop continuous education and programs improving communication self efficacy and perception of patient safety culture to reduce risk of nursing errors in the operating room. © 2021 Korean Academy of Nursing Administration
