'What matters to nurses': A Study on the Influences on Satisfaction of Patient Safety Culture in Novice Nurses and Genuine Nurses.

Satisfaction of patient safety culture is a critical factor in enhancing the attainment of goals and objectives in healthcare organizations. Nurses, frequently contacting with patients, are one of the most important roles among medical staffs in a hospital. However, certain attributes are critical for satisfaction of patient safety culture in the perspective of nurses’ work experience. Thus, this research aims to understand the key attributes between novice nurses and genuine nurses in satisfaction of patient safety culture by adapting Sexton et al. (2006)’s Safety Attitudes Questionnaire. The results show that teamwork climate and perceptions of management significantly influence satisfaction of patient safety culture for novice nurses while perceptions of management, safety climate, and working conditions are critical factors for genuine nurses.
