Abstract: (523 Views)
Background: Professional autonomy as a key component in the nursing profession enables nurses to make timely decisions at the patient's bedside. Competency of human resources, especially nurses, is of particular importance in maintaining patient safety and ensuring the provision of high quality services. This study aims to investigate nurses’ professional autonomy and its association with their patient safety competency.
Methods: This descriptive-correlational study was conducted in 2021 on 200 nurses employed in educational-therapeutic hospitals affiliated with Tabriz University of Medical Sciences in Iran, utilizing stratified random sampling.Data collection tools consisted of a demographic questionnaire , Professional autonomy questionnaire and Patient Safety Competency Self-Evaluation (PSCSE) Questionnaire. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics (Frequency, percentage and median), Mann-Whitney U test, Kruskal-Wallis test, and Kendall Tau and Spearman’s non-parametric correlation coefficients in SPSS 26 software. P>0.05 was considered as the significant level.
Results: Based on the results of the study, of the 200 nurses participating in the study, 120 (60%) experienced a high level of professional autonomy and 150 (75.0%) reported a moderate level of patient safety competence. There was a strong correlation between the nurses' professional autonomy and their patient safety competence (P<0.001).
Conclusion: According to the findings, promotion of professional autonomy is directly related to patient safety competence in nurses, which in turn improves the quality of care. It is recommended to adopt appropriate strategies and necessary policies by managers to improve the professional autonomy of nurses.
