Canonical correlation between organizational characteristics and barrier to medication error reporting of nurses

본 연구는 간호사들이 인식한 안전 분위기와 업무환경을 포함한 조직의 특성과 투약오류보고장애요인간의 관련성을 검증하기 위한 연구이다. 수정된 안전 분위기, 업무환경, 투약오류보고장애 문항을 활용하여 7개 병원의 334명의 간호사들을 대상으로 하여 조사하였다. 자료수집기간은 2012년 9월 한달 간이었고, 서술적 통계, Pearson correlation coefficient, canonical correlation을 적용하였다. 조직의 특성은 투약오류보고장애와 세 가지 유의한 상관이 있었다. 첫 번째 정준상관계수는 .50(Wilks' <TEX>λ</TEX>=0.61, df=32, p<.001)이었고, 두 번째는 .35(Wilks' <TEX>λ</TEX>=0.81, df=21, p<.001), 세 번째는 .22(Wilks' <TEX>λ</TEX>=0.93, df=12, p=.018)이었다. 첫 번째 정준상관은 높은 안전 분위기와 업무환경이 오류보고에의 두려움을 제외한 투약오류보고와 관련이 있었다. 두 번째 식은 '의료인간의 안전 분위기'의 높은 지각과 높은 '병원에의 간호사 참여'와 '인적 자원의 적절성'은 낮은 '불안감'과 '행정자들의 반응'과 관련이 있었다. 투약오류보고장애를 위한 전략과 안전 분위기와 업무환경과 같은 조직의 특성의 진보가 적용되어야 한다. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between nurse's perception of organizational characteristics including safety climate and work environment and barrier to medication error reporting. Methods: We surveyed 334 nurses from 7 hospitals. An assessment survey was consisted of modified safety climate scale, practice environment scale and barrier to medication error reporting. The data were collected from September 2012. Descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation coefficient, canonical correlation were used. Results: Organizational characteristics were related to barrier to medication error reporting with three significant canonical variables. The first canonical correlation coefficient was .50(Wilks' <TEX>λ</TEX>=0.61, df=32, p<.001), that of the second was .35(Wilks' <TEX>λ</TEX>=0.81, df=21, p<.001) and that of the third was .22(Wilks' <TEX>λ</TEX>=0.93, df=12, p=.018). The first variate indicated higher perception of safety climate variables and work environment variables were related lower barrier to medication error reporting variables except fear for error reporting. The second variate showed higher perception of 'safety climate between healthcare provider' and higher 'nurse participation in hospital affairs' and 'staffing and resource adequacy' were related to lower 'fear' and 'administrative response' in barrier to medication error reporting variables. Conclusion: Strategies for barrier to medication error reporting and improvement of organizational characteristics including safety climate and work environment should be implemented.
