This study investigated factors associated with gerontological nursing practice among nurses in CNCSUs. Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted. The participants included 153 nurses at two general hospitals in Korea. A structured self-reported questionnaire was administered to assess general characteristics, perceived patient safety culture, moral sensitivity, organizational communication satisfaction, and gerontological nursing practice. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-tests, one-way ANOVA, Pearson correlation coefficients, and multiple linear regression. Results: The 153 participants had a mean age of 29.32 years. In the multiple regression analysis, the factors associated with gerontological nursing practice of subjects included perceived patient safety culture (\u03b2=.23, p=.004), experience volunteering with older adults (\u03b2=.20, p=.008), moral sensitivity (\u03b2=.20, p=.009), and organizational communication satisfaction (\u03b2=.16, p=.046). The regression model explained 29.0% of the variance in gerontological nursing practice (F=7.78, p&lt;.001). Conclusion: Enhancing perceived patient safety culture, moral sensitivity, and organizational communication satisfaction among nurses in CNCSUs may improve their gerontological nursing practice and the quality of nursing care for older adults.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.17079\/jkgn.2026.00031","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,31]],"date-time":"2026-08-31T05:40:17Z","timestamp":1788154817000},"page":"346-355","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.17079\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Factors
