Abstract

Background: Nurses who have high competence, knowledge, and good skills are needed to carry out their responsibilities in implementing patient safety properly, thus providing a sense of security to patients and minimizing risks that endanger the safety of the patients they serve, such as malpractice or incorrect medical procedures. Therefore, nurses are required to have high competence in order to implement patient safety properly. Objective: To determine the relationship between nurse competence and the implementation of patient safety at Muhammadiyah Hospital Palembang. Method: The study used a cross-sectional approach with a sample of 51 nurses working in the inpatient wards (ICU, Children, PDL, Surgery) at Muhammadiyah Hospital Palembang, taken using a purposive sampling technique. Analysis was carried out through univariate with proportion and central tendency tests, bivariate with Chi Square tests. Data collection used a nurse competence questionnaire and a patient safety implementation questionnaire. Results: There is a significant relationship (p value = 0.001) between nurse competence and the implementation of patient safety. Conclusion: There is a positive and significant relationship between nurse competence and the implementation of patient safety at Muhammadiyah Hospital Palembang. Suggestion: Efforts to improve competence are needed so that patient safety targets are better.
