Methods: A cross-sectional, correlational research was conducted. A convenient sample of nurse aides from two local community hospitals in Yi-Lan City was recruited. A self-design structured questionnaire including demographic variables and ‘Cognition, Attitude, and Behavior of Patient Safety Reporting Scales’ was used to collect data. The internal consistency coeifficient (Cronbach's α) of the scales was 0.89, 0.71 and 0.76 respectively. The period for data collection was from May to June, 2010. The valid questionnaires were 180 and the response rate was 87%. The data was analyzed with SPSS 17.0 edition for Windows.
Results：(1)The cognition and attitudes toward patient safety reporting of long-term care nurse aides were different by marital status and the training hours for patient safely at significant level (p< .05). (2)
The patient safety reporting behavior was positively correlated with cognition(γ＝.304, p<.01) and attitudes(γ＝.565, p<.01) of patient safety reporting among long-term care nurse aids. (3) The nurse aids’ patient safety reporting cognition was accounted for 32% of variances of patient safety reports behaviors. Planning strategies for patient safety and in in-service education for medical professionals including nurse aids were recommended
