Abstract

Background: Patient safety aims to minimize errors that pose a potential risk of harm to patients during treatment and care.

Objective: To assess knowledge and practice regarding patient safety among nurses and midwives at Hung Vuong General Hospital in 2025 and identify associated factors.

Methods: A cross-sectional study among 175 nurses and midwives, June-December 2025, using a self-administered questionnaire on knowledge and self-reported practice, analyzed with SPSS.

Results: Adequate knowledge was 48.0%; self-reported adequate practice was 97.7% - a gap warranting cautious interpretation given possible ceiling effect and social desirability bias. Knowledge was associated with patient workload/day (aOR=1.948; 95%CI: 1.005-3.775), and training need every 3-6 months (aOR=2.470; 95%CI: 1.272-4.797). Self-reported practice was associated with patient workload/day (p=0.034).

Conclusion: Knowledge remains low; the high self-reported practice rate requires cautious interpretation. Training should be strengthened, patient workload/day is worth considering in staffing decisions, though this is an observed cross-sectional association, not an established optimal threshold.
