Purpose: This study applied a mixed-methods design to examine the effects of the nurse shift system improvement pilot project, organized by the Ministry of Health and Welfare, on ward nurses’ quality of life, job satisfaction, and patient safety nursing activities, as well as to explore their overall evaluation of the project through in-depth interviews. Methods: Using a mixed-methods approach, this study simultaneously conducted quantitative analyses of ward nurses’ quality of life, job satisfaction, and patient safety nursing activities, along with qualitative research through in-depth interviews to explore overall perceptions of the nurse shift system improvement pilot project. Results: Patient safety nursing activities showed a significant positive correlations with quality of life (r=.24, p=.017) and job satisfaction (r=.21, p=.038). There was also a significant positive correlation between quality of life and job satisfaction (r=.63, p<.001). As a result of the qualitative analysis, eight facilitating factors and five hindering factors related to the pilot project were identified. Conclusion: Through the research, the effectiveness of the pilot project and the factors influencing nurses were identified. Accordingly, strategies are needed to enhance patient safety nursing activities by improving nurses’ quality of life and job satisfaction in pilot project wards.
