Objectives : The objective of this research was to compare the Effects of Self-Efficacy in Risk Management and Patient Safety Care Promoting Program on Knowledge and Nurse's Perceptions on Patient Safety Culture at Nakhonphanom Hospital

Medthodology and methods : Quasi-experimental research. Two group pretest-posttest design. Between the experimental group and the control group. The sample were Purposive Sampling was used to select 80 nurses; 40 nurses were assigned to the experimental group and the other 40 nurses in the control group.

The scores obtained were calculated to determine the content validity index (CVI), which was 1.00. Additionally, the reliability test yielded a Cronbach's Alpha coefficient of 0.83.

Results : The research results revealed that Risk management and Patient Safety Care Promoting Program performance perceived by the experimental group was at a high level  ( =14.08 ,SD=1.96) and that perceived by the control group was at a Low level ( =10.13 ,SD=2.35); and the experimental group’s perception of safety culture performance was significantly higher (p < .05) than that of the control group.
