Abstract Background The present study aims to investigate the relationship between patient safety culture and the prevention of transmitting bloodborne pathogens among nurses at a general hospital. Methods The participants were 284 nurses working at a general hospital located in a city, and the data were collected between April 26 and May 15, 2019. Questionnaires on patient safety culture and the prevention of bloodborne pathogens were used, and SPSS version 22.0 was used for descriptive and hierarchical regression analysis. Results The results showed that the following factors affected the prevention of bloodborne pathogens: experience with needle stick and sharps injuries (β = − 0.94), teamwork (β = 0.41), knowledge and attitude toward patient safety (β = 0.34), leadership (β = 0.15), and priority of patient safety (β = 0.14). The model’s explanatory power was 53% (F = 32.26, p =< 0.001). Conclusions To increase the compliance of general hospital nurses with practices that promote the prevention of bloodborne pathogens, it is necessary to actively prevent needle sticks and sharps injuries. It is also necessary to prioritize patient safety and to develop and verify the effects of various programs that emphasize factors of patient safety culture, such as leadership, teamwork, knowledge, and attitude.

The Relationship

This study aims to investigate the levels of burnout, compassion satisfaction (CS), and patient safety management activities (PSMA) among nurses on shift work in general hospitals and to examine the mediating effect of CS on the relationship between burnout and PSMA. This was a descriptive-correlational study, conducted with a convenience sample of 301 nurses from four general hospitals. Data were collected from 1 August to 4 September 2021, using self-report questionnaires. Data were analyzed using the t-test, analysis of variance, Tukey test, Pearson’s correlation coefficient, and multiple regression analyses. Mediation analysis was performed according to the Baron and Kenny, and Sobel Tests. Significant relationships were found between shift nurses’ burnout and CS (r = −0.66, p < 0.001), burnout and PSMA (r = −0.32, p < 0.001), and PSMA and CS (r = 0.32, p < 0.001). Compassion satisfaction showed partial mediating effects on the relationship between burnout and PSMA (Z = −3.21, p = 0.001). The higher the burnout of shift-working nurses, the lower the patient safety management activity. Therefore, an effective support system at the organizational level as well as individual efforts are necessary to enhance CS and reduce burnout of shift-working nurses.

Abstract Background: The present study aims to investigate the effects of patient safety culture on the prevention of transmitting bloodborne pathogens among nurses at a general hospital. Methods: The participants were 284 nurses working at a general hospital located in P city, and the data were collected between April 26 and May 15, 2019. Questionnaires on patient safety culture and prevention of bloodborne pathogens were used, and the data were examined on SPSS version 22.0 using frequency analysis, percentages, mean, standard deviation, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson’s correlation, and hierarchical regression analysis. Results: The results showed that the following factors affected the prevention of bloodborne pathogens: experience of needle stick and sharp injuries (β=-0.94), teamwork (β=0.41), knowledge and attitude toward patient safety (β=0.34), leadership (β=0.15), and priority of patient safety (β=0.14). The model's explanatory power was 53% (F=32.26, p=<0.001).Conclusions:In order to increase the compliance of general hospital nurses with the practices that promote prevention of bloodborne pathogens, it is necessary to actively prevent needle stick and sharp injuries.It is also necessary to prioritize patient safety, and to develop and verify the effects of various programs that emphasize factors of patient safety culture, such as leadership, teamwork, knowledge, and attitude.
