Abstract
The purpose of this study is to examine the influence of technology perception and caring nurse-patient interactions on patient safety culture from the perception of critical care nurses in Saudi Arabia and to assess the mediating role of compassion fatigue on the relationship between technology perception and patient safety culture and between caring nurse-patient interactions and patient safety culture. A cross-sectional study was conducted in July and August 2022, in three hospitals located in the eastern province of Saudi Arabia. A convenience, purposive sample of critical care nurses who provides direct care to patients in critical care units, stepdown, and emergency departments were recruited. one hundred and eighty-three nurse participated in this study with an overall response rate of 51.69%. Nurse participants completed the Survey of Patient Safety Culture for Hospitals, the Technological Influences Questionnaire subscale of the Caring Attributes, Professional Self-Concept, and Technological Influences scale, the Caring Nurse-Patient Interactions scale, and the Compassion Fatigue subscale from the ProQOL scale which contained the Secondary Traumatic Stress and Burnout subscales. Descriptive statistics and a linear regression model were used to analyze the research data. A significant relationship was found between technology perception and patient safety culture and between caring nurse patient interaction and patient safety culture. There is no significant mediating role of the Secondary Traumatic Stress on the relationship between technology perception and patient safety culture and between caring nurse patient interaction and patient safety culture. The burnout has a full mediating effect on the relationship between technology perception and patient safety culture and a partial mediating effect on the relationship between caring nurse patient interaction and patient safety culture. The research findings have established the foundation of the relationship between nursing caring factors (perception of technology and caring nurse-patient interaction) and patient safety culture. However, more research is needed to understand the direct effect of these relationships on patient outcomes.
