Abstract
Background: We aimed to identify the factors influencing safety accident management activities for hospitalized children in children's hospitals.
Methods: In August 2022, data were collected from 170 nurses across seven children's hospitals in Gwangju Metropolitan City, Korea. The collected data were analyzed using independent t-tests, analysis of variance, Pearson's correlation analysis, and multiple regression analysis.
Results: Safety accident management activities for hospitalized children differ significantly based on nurses' experience in children's hospitals (P=0.048) . Safety accident management activities were positively correlated with patient safety culture (r=0.47, P<0.001) , critical thinking (r=0.35, P<0.001) , and nursing work environment (r=0.51, P<0.001) . Furthermore, the most influential determinant of safety accident management activities for hospitalized children was the nursing work environment (β=0.42, P<0.001) , followed by nurses' experience in children's hospitals (β=0.20, P=0.004) , and patient safety culture (β=0.17, P=0.041) . These variables had an explanatory power of 34.0 % (adjusted R2=0.34, P<0.001) .
Conclusion: A positive nursing work environment and strong patient safety culture are essential for increasing safety accident management activities among children's hospital nurses. Additionally, children's hospitals should provide support to the nursing staff and implement policies that encourage long-term retention of experienced nurses.
期刊介绍：
Iranian Journal of Public Health has been continuously published since 1971, as the only Journal in all health domains, with wide distribution (including WHO in Geneva and Cairo) in two languages (English and Persian). From 2001 issue, the Journal is published only in English language. During the last 41 years more than 2000 scientific research papers, results of health activities, surveys and services, have been published in this Journal. To meet the increasing demand of respected researchers, as of January 2012, the Journal is published monthly. I wish this will assist to promote the level of global knowledge. The main topics that the Journal would welcome are: Bioethics, Disaster and Health, Entomology, Epidemiology, Health and Environment, Health Economics, Health Services, Immunology, Medical Genetics, Mental Health, Microbiology, Nutrition and Food Safety, Occupational Health, Oral Health. We would be very delighted to receive your Original papers, Review Articles, Short communications, Case reports and Scientific Letters to the Editor on the above mentioned research areas.
