Methods A proportional stratified cluster sampling method was used to select 2,417 nurses from 11 tertiary hospitals in Shanxi Province. The general information questionnaire and the Patient Safety Competency Nurse Evaluation Scale were used. Results The overall score of patient safety competency of nurses in tertiary hospitals was(82.28±13.05). Nurses with different departments,age,working experience,professional title,positions,and average monthly night shift were different in patient safety competency(P<0.05). Conclusion The survey sample is well representative. The patient safety competency of nurses is not influenced by gender and education. It might be influenced by their departments.
