N2  - This study aimed to determine nurses' perceptions of occupational safety and their work environment and examine the socio-demographic traits and job characteristics that influence their occupational safety. The study sample consists of 278 nurses. According to the nurses, the quality of their work environment is average, and occupational safety is insufficient. In the sub-dimensions of the work environment scale, it was determined that the nurses think "labor force and other resources" are insufficient. In the occupational safety sub-dimensions "occupational illnesses and complaints" and "administrative support and approaches," they considered occupational safety to be insufficient. "Doctor-nurse-colleague relationships," "exposure to violence" and "work unit (e.g., internal medicine, surgical, intensive care)" are the main factors that affect occupational safety. This study determined that hospital administrations should develop and immediately implement plans to ameliorate communication and clinical precautions and to reduce exposure to violence.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
