Safety culture is an important element that should be implemented by health officers in the line of duty. Nurses, as a component of hospital human resources, should maintain their safety and the safety of their work environment by adopting a safety culture. This study aims to analyze the factors influencing the implementation of a workplace safety culture for nurses in hospitals. This quantitative study, involving 174 nurses, utilized descriptive and analytic methods with logistic regression at a significance level of 0.05 to determine the relationship between variables and identify those influencing safety culture simultaneously. The study found that knowledge (ρ=0.001) and attitude (ρ=0.001) significantly influence safety culture, while age (ρ=0.524), sex (ρ=0.807), education (ρ=0.723), work period (ρ=0.695), and employment status (ρ=0.685) do not.

The safety culture among nurses is influenced by their knowledge and attitudes.Variables such as age, sex, education, work period, and employment status do not have a significant impact on the safety culture of nurses in the hospital.Therefore, enhancing nurses knowledge and fostering positive attitudes are crucial for improving safety culture within hospital settings.

Further research could explore the role of hospital leadership in fostering a strong safety culture, investigating how leadership styles and commitment to safety influence nurse perceptions and behaviors. Additionally, studies could examine the effectiveness of different training programs designed to enhance nurses knowledge and attitudes towards safety, focusing on practical application and skill development. Finally, investigating the impact of workload and staffing levels on nurses ability to adhere to safety protocols and contribute to a positive safety culture would provide valuable insights for hospital management and resource allocation, potentially leading to improved patient and staff safety outcomes.
