1Department of Nursing, College of Medicine, Wonkwang University, Iksan, , Republic of Korea.
Background:
Understanding the level of patient safety culture (PSC) and resident safety activities (RSAs) in long-term care facilities (LTCFs) and the institutional factors that influence these activities can help improve the quality of services provided to LTCF residents.
Purpose:
This study aimed to identify the PSC and RSA levels in LTCFs and to explore the institutional factors that influence these activities.
Methods:
In this descriptive cross-sectional study, convenience sampling was employed to select LCTFs and their staff. A two-level multilevel analysis was conducted to determine the effects of institutional factors.
Results:
The study comprised 12 LTCFs and 265 staff members. The number of registered nurses (RNs) and care workers, along with the LTCF ownership model, were important factors in PSC and RSAs.
Discussion:
The study findings can be used to inform policy makers concerning the provision of targeted policies to improve privately owned LTCFs and secure a stable supply of RNs.
