Nurses are crucial for enhancing patient safety due to their continuous presence at patients' bedsides and close interactions with families and other healthcare providers. This study aims to examine the relationships among safety education, perception of patient safety culture, safety control, and patient safety competence in clinical nurses, while also exploring the mediating effect of perceptions on patient safety culture and safety control.
The study involved 165 nurses, including 10 males (6.1%) and 155 females (93.9%). Structural equation modeling (SEM) was used to test the hypothesized model, and data were analyzed using SPSS and AMOS programs.
Significant positive correlations were among the frequency of attending safety education, the perception of patient safety culture, safety control, and patient safety competency. The number of safety education briefings attended did not directly influence patient safety competence; however, safety education for nurses indirectly influenced patient safety competence the perception of patient safety culture and safety control. These findings suggest that enhancing safety education for nurses can improve patient safety competence by shaping their perceptions of patient safety culture and safety control.
护士对于提高患者安全至关重要，因为他们持续守护在患者床边，并与患者家属及其他医疗服务提供者密切互动。本研究旨在探讨临床护士的安全教育、患者安全文化认知、安全控制与患者安全能力之间的关系，同时探究认知对患者安全文化和安全控制的中介作用。
本研究纳入了165名护士，其中男性10名（6.1%），女性155名（93.9%）。采用结构方程模型（SEM）对假设模型进行检验，并使用SPSS和AMOS软件对数据进行分析。
参加安全教育的频率、患者安全文化认知、安全控制和患者安全能力之间存在显著正相关。参加安全教育简报的次数并未直接影响患者安全能力；然而，护士的安全教育通过影响患者安全文化认知和安全控制，间接影响患者安全能力。这些发现表明，加强护士的安全教育可以通过塑造他们对患者安全文化和安全控制的认知来提高患者安全能力。
