Abstract
본 논문은 임상간호사의 환자안전역량 강화를 위한 기초자료로 제공하기 위해 환자안전역량에 영향을 미치는 요인을 파악하고자 비판적 사고성향, 문제해결능력 및 자기효능감을 독립변수로 정하여 서술적 조사연구를 시행하였으며, 중소병원에 근무하는 6개월 이상 경력의 임상간호사 373명을 대상으로 하였다. 자료분석 결과 환자안전역량에 영향을 미치는 요인은 문제해결능력(<TEX>${\beta}=.403$</TEX>, p<.001)이 가장 큰 것으로 나타났으며 자기효능감(<TEX>${\beta}=.156$</TEX>, p=.005), 환자안전사고 보고 경험(<TEX>${\beta}=.137$</TEX>, p=.002), 비판적 사고성향(<TEX>${\beta}=.130$</TEX>, p=.018) 순으로 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이들 변수는 대상자의 환자안전역량에 대해 42.3%(adj <TEX>$R^2=.423$</TEX>) 설명하였다(F=20.305, p<.001). 비판적 사고성향, 문제해결능력, 자기효능감은 학부과정에서부터 강조되는 것으로 실제 의료현장에서 환자의 안전을 최일선에서 다루는 임상간호사에게는 더욱이 필요한 요인이라고 볼 수 있다. 따라서 환자안전역량 강화를 위해서는 의료기관 자체 내에서 임상간호사를 위한 비판적 사고성향, 문제해결능력 및 자기효능감을 높이기 위한 교육프로그램과 같은 다양한 전략과 활동들이 요구된다고 생각된다. 또한 환자안전을 최우선으로 생각하고 환자안전사고 발생 시 적극적인 보고를 독려하는 한편 환자안전사고 보고를 저해하는 요인들을 면밀히 사정하여 보완하여 보고율 향상과 더불어 환자안전역량 강화에도 힘써야 할 것이다. This study examined the relationships among patient safety competence, critical thinking disposition, problem-solving competence, and self-efficacy of clinical nurses to identify the factors influencing the patient safety competence. A convenience sample of 373 nurses working in 4 general hospitals in a Metropolitan area in Korea was selected. After obtaining IRB approval, data collection was done with a structured self-administered questionnaire from October 14th to November 4th, 2014. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficient and multiple regression analysis using the SPSS WIN 21.0 program. The participants showed a moderate level of patient safety competence (<TEX>$3.75{\pm}0.37$</TEX>), of critical thinking disposition (<TEX>$3.43{\pm}0.27$</TEX>), of problem solving competence (<TEX>$3.54{\pm}0.30$</TEX>), and of self-efficacy (<TEX>$3.58{\pm}0.47$</TEX>). The patient safety competence of the participants showed a significant correlation with the critical thinking disposition (r=.493, p<.001), problem solving competence (r=.616, p<.001), and self-efficacy (r=.475, p<.001). The significant factors influencing the patient safety competence were problem solving competence (<TEX>${\beta}=.403$</TEX>, p<.001), self-efficacy (<TEX>${\beta}=.156$</TEX>, p=.005), critical thinking disposition (<TEX>${\beta}=.130$</TEX>, p=.018), and having the experience of reporting patient safety accidents (<TEX>${\beta}=.137$</TEX>, p=.002). The results suggest that educational programs to enhance the critical thinking disposition, problem-solving competence, and self-efficacy would develop the patient safety competence of clinical nurses. In addition, more effort should be placed into reinforcing the patient safety competence by activating the report of patient safety accidents.
