Abstract
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare patient safety knowledge, attitude, and skills between the Republic of Korea and Thailand nursing officers. Methods: Data were collected from 104 Korean nursing officers and 106 Thai nursing officers using structured questionnaires, patient safety knowledge, attitude and skills. Results: The proportion of men in Korean nursing officers were higher than that of Thai nursing officers, and Thai nursing officers had longer work experience than Koreans. The ROK nursing officer''s patient safety knowledge score was significantly higher than Thai''s (t=5.38, p<.001). However there was no difference between them in patient safety attitude and skills scores. Both countries had no difference in patient safety knowledge, attitude, and skills according to general characteristics. Conclusion: Nursing officers of the two countries had similar levels of patient safety knowledge, attitudes, and skills. However, in order to understand the gaps in patient safety culture, policy, and education programs between them, the two parties need to exchange information and benchmark with each other to strengthen their nurses'' competence in patient care.
