Abstract: This study intends to identify critical dimension(s) of the Chinese version of the safety attitudes questionnaire (SAQ) affecting the patient safety culture from nurses' viewpoints by the internal survey data. Linear regression with forward selection approach is used where eight dimensions of the Chinese version of the SAQ are the independent variables and the overall satisfaction of the patient safety culture is the dependent variable. The results show that working conditions and job satisfaction are the two critical dimensions having significant impacts on the overall satisfaction in 2015, while working conditions, safety climate, and perceptions of management are the critical dimensions in 2016. Hospital management needs to pay much attention to improve working conditions first in order to relentlessly enhancing the patient safety culture from nurses' viewpoints in this case hospital.
