Background:
Licensed practical nurses (LPNs) working in nursing homes are the primary licensed nurses providing care and ensuring patient safety in New Jersey. As such, it is important to understand LPNs' perception of patient safety culture (PSC) and job satisfaction, which may impact resident safety.
Purpose:
To describe the relationship between LPNs' perception of PSC in nursing homes and job satisfaction.
Methods:
A cross-sectional study design was used to survey LPNs in New Jersey.
Results:
LPNs working in nursing homes were less satisfied than LPNs working in other settings, and their perception of PSC was lower than that in 2019 national data report.
Conclusion:
LPNs in nursing homes indicated that PSC needs improvement. Now is an opportune time to implement initiatives to foster a culture of safety in nursing homes.
