照顧服務員之病人安全態度調查：以南部某二家區域教學醫院為例

A Descriptive Study of Attitudes of Patient Safety Among Nurse Aids: An Example of Two Regional Teaching Hospitals in Southern Taiwan

目的：探討照顧服務員對病人安全態度的情形及進行不同單位的比較。方法：採比較描述性研究設計，以方便取樣於南部某醫療機構的兩家醫院、護理之家收案，研究對象完成結構性問卷填寫，共計回收159份有效問卷。結果：護理之家男性照顧服務員比女性有較高的病人安全態度，一般病房與特殊單位中，本國籍照顧服務員對於病人安全態度高於非本國籍；在一般病房，照顧服務員的工作年資與病人安全態度呈顯著正相關；不同單位之照顧服務員在病人安全態度總分呈顯著差異，護理之家高於一般病房。結論：照顧服務員是照護團隊的成員之一，應依照不同單位、不同特性的照顧服務員，給予病人安全主題的在職教育課程，進而提升其對病人安全之正向態度，以促進照顧服務品質。
