Abstract

Work safety management represents suitably managing safety and health in the nursing workplace. The purpose of this descriptive study was to study the level of occupational safety management and to study the problems and obstacles of occupational safety management for nurses in Nakornping Hospital. The samples were 322 registered nurses. The study instrument was a questionnaire based on personnel safety goals: SIMPLE Thailand 2018. The data were analyzed by using descriptive statistics, including frequency, mean, percentage and standard deviation; the problems and obstacles were summarized and categorized. The results of the study revealed that the overall score of occupational safety management for nurses in Nakornping Hospital was at an excellent level (x̅=2.17, SD=0.44). Five aspects were at excellent levels including security and privacy of information and social media, infection and exposure, mental health and mediation, work process, lan and legal issues. The aspect of environment and working conditions was at a good level. The problems and obstacles of occupational safety management for nurses are as follows: 1) personnel were not aware of the ethics of personal disclosure; 2) infection and transmission practices were not communicated to operators at all levels; 3) there were too many patients who received incomplete services, leading to complaints and stress problems; 4) safety processes lacked the main responsibility for operations and budget support; 5) the equipment in emergency ambulances was not sufficient for the rate of use, and legal knowledge training to update knowledge with current events had not yet been covered; and 6) the buildings were original structures that are difficult to renovate, and there was an insufficient workforce for operation. The results of this study are beneficial for both hospital executives and nursing administrators to create a development plan for each aspect of occupational safety management for nurses in Nakornping Hospital in the future.
