Abstract

Purpose
This study was to examine the influential factors on patient safety management activities of operating room nurses in general hospitals.
Methods
The subject of this study were 133 operating room nurses of seven general hospitals in B metropolitan city. Data were collected from July 23 to August 14, 2020 using self-report questionnaires. For data analysis, a descriptive analysis and stepwise multiple regression were utilized with IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows version 22.0.
Results

Conclusion
Based on the research results, to promote patient safety management activities of operating room nurses, it is required to establish active and multifaceted strategies and systems at the hospital level to enhance awareness of patient safety culture and reduce physical burden.
