Abstract

Background/Objectives: This study aims to present basic data for developing an intervention strategy to prevent safety accidents in medical institutions of Korea. Methods/Statistical analysis: Data collection was conducted for 197 health workers at four hospitals in 2021. Data analysis was performed using frequency, percentage, independent t-test, ANOVA, Scheffe's test, Pearson's correlation, and multiple regression. Findings: The educational background (p<.051), work experience (p<.05), and salary level (p<.05) were found to have a significant effect on the awareness, and the explanatory power was 10.5%. The educational background (p<.001), work experience (p<.05), and salary level (p<.05) had a significant effect on the knowledge and the explanatory power was 13.8%. Improvements/Applications: In the future, it is necessary to develop an intervention program to increase the awareness level and response knowledge of safety accidents among medical institution workers, and repeated studies are needed to identify factors that affect this.
