The Application Progress of Swiss Cheese Model in Safety Management of Nursing Care

Abstract

As an important part of medical and health field, nursing safety management plays a vital role in ensuring patients’ life safety. Swiss cheese model is an efficient system security management strategy, covering four dimensions: organizational influence, poor supervision, potential unsafe behavior and unsafe operation behavior. Through in-depth analysis of the risk factors of accidents, this model constructs a multi-level defense system from the above four dimensions in order to prevent accidents. In order to continuously improve nursing safety management and nursing service quality, and promote the sustainable development of nursing work, this study mainly summarized and analyzed the Swiss cheese model and its application progress in the field of nursing safety, aiming at providing theoretical reference for subsequent researchers’ research and clinical practice.
