Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the mediating effect of safety control on the relationship between safety climate and patient safety management activities for mental health nurses. A survey was conducted on 177 nurses working at mental hospitals in G-do from 28 July 2023 to 15 August 2023. Data were analyzed using the SPSS/WIN 27.0 and Sobel test. Significant relationships were found between safety climate and safety control (r = 0.40, p < 0.001), safety climate and patient safety management activities(r = 0.40, p < 0.001), and safety control and patient safety management activities (r = 0.43, p < 0.001). Additionally, safety control partially mediated the safety climate and the patient safety management activities (Z = 3.63, p < 0.001). Therefore, programs that increase safety control and create a safety climate need to be developed to promote patient safety activities of mental health nurses.
