Abstract              Purpose: The health system in the world, despite significant and undeniable advances in the field of science and technology, continues to face many challenges. Ensuring patient safety is the first step in improving the quality of care. Patient safety, as one of the main components of the quality of health care, means avoiding any injuries or injuries to the patient while providing care. Patient safety standards are a set of requirements that are critical to every hospital's implementation. The assessment of this process is an advanced mechanism in hospitals designed to determine the level of patient safety and can be used to initiate and evaluate the progress of running programs. Methods: The research method is applied in terms of purpose and descriptive-applied method. Correlation method has been used. The research sample was 306 nurses of the hospital Shahid Faghihi Shiraz city who were selected by stratified random sampling method. To evaluate the variables, two questionnaires were used by researcher and occupational attachment questionnaire. Data analysis was done using descriptive statistics using spss software. Results: There is a significant positive relationship between safety standards on patient safety (r = 0.63). The higher the safety standards in the hospital, the higher the safety performance of the patient. There is a significant positive relationship between governance and leadership on patient safety (r =. 0607). The higher the governance and leadership in the hospital, the higher the safety performance of the patient. There is a significant positive relationship between participation and interaction on patient's immune function (r =. 377). The higher the participation and interaction in the hospital, the higher the safety of the patient. There is a significant positive relationship between safe clinical services and patient safety (r = 0.635). The higher the safe clinical services in the hospital, the higher the safety performance of the patient. There is a significant positive relationship between the safe environment and the safety of the patient (r =. 0590). The higher the safe environment in the hospital, the higher the safety of the patient. There is a significant positive correlation between continuous education and patient's immune function (r =. 465). The higher the continuing education in the hospital, the higher the safety of the patient. Conclusion: It seems that institutionalizing patient safety culture, focusing patients on the provision of services, training staff and patients, and removing legal barriers will increase compliance with patient safety standards throughout the country.
