| AbstractBackground: Positive attitude of nurses toward patient safety can play a major role in increasingthe quality of nursing care and reducing missed nursing care. This study was conducted todetermine the relationship between the Attitude of Nurses Toward Patient Safety and missednursing care.Methods: This study was conducted in 2021 at the hospitals of Tabriz University of MedicalSciences (Iran). In the present study, 351 nurses were included in the study by using a strati-fied random sampling method. Data collection tools were demographic questionnaire, missednursing care questionnaire, and patient safety attitudes questionnaire. Missed Nursing CareQuestionnaire includes 24 items, such as patient movement, rotation, evaluation, training, dis-charge planning, medication prescription, scored on a 4-point Likert scale ranging from score 1(I miss rarely), score 2 (I miss occasionally), score 3 (I miss usually), and score 4 (I miss always).The highest score is 96 and the lowest score is 24 on this scale. A higher score indicates a higherpossibility of missed care.Results: The mean total (standard deviation) of missed nursing care was 32.76 (7.13) (scorerange: 24---96) and the mean total score of nurses’ patient safety attitudes was 53.19 (18.71)out of 100. Results of the present study showed that nurses’ patient safety attitudes are at amoderate level and have a significant inverse relationship with the incidence of missed nursingcare (P < 0.001). |
