Purpose: A key challenge in quality improvement is ensuring resident safety, especially in nursing homes. However, few studies have comprehensively examined safety nursing activities and explored the possible contributing factors, such as organizational or individual factors, within this context. This study analyzes safety nursing activities in nursing homes and explores the relationship between organizational and individual factors regarding these activities.
Methods: In total, 38 nursing homes and 151 individual registered nurses were surveyed. Data were analyzed using multilevel regression analysis.
Results: Registered nurse-related factors, teamwork, organizational nursing home-related factors, and the ratio of registered nurses to residents were significant factors associated with safety nursing activities.
Conclusions: To increase registered nurses' safety nursing activities, it is necessary to assess how well the team functions in nursing homes and develop interventions to improve team efficiency, including increasing the number of registered nurses to ensure sufficient time for safety nursing activities.
