Abstract: Purpose: This study examined the influences of nurses’ perceptions of patient safety culture and patient safety knowledge on their patient safety nursing activities in general hospitals.Methods: A structured questionnaire was used to collect data on nurses’ perceptions of patient safety culture, patient safety knowledge, and patient safety nursing activities. Data from 181 nurses at two general hospitals were analyzed using independent t-tests, one-way ANOVA, correlation analysis, and multiple regression.Results: Patient safety nursing activities were positively correlated with patient safety culture (r=.22, p=.003) and patient safety knowledge (r=.37, p<.001). Patient safety knowledge emerged as a significant predictor (β=.32), explaining 17% of the variance in patient safety nursing activities (F=6.15, p<.001).Conclusion: Patient safety knowledge was identified as a key predictor of patient safety nursing activities, highlighting the need for structured educational programs and supportive organizational environments.
