Description:Background.
A strong patient safety culture (PSC) may be associated with improved patient outcomes in hospitals. The mechanism that explains this relationship is underexplored; missed nursing care may be an important link.
Purpose.
The purpose of this study was to describe relationships among PSC, missed nursing care, and 4 types of adverse patient events.
Methods.
This cross-sectional study employed primary survey data from 311 nurses from 29 units in 5 hospitals and secondary adverse event data from those same units. Analyses includes ANOVA and regression models.
Results.
Missed nursing care was reported to occur at an occasional level (M=3.44, SD=0.24) across all 29 units. PSC dimensions explained up to 30% of the variance in missed nursing care, 26% of quality of care concerns, and 15% of vascular access device events. Missed care was associated with falls (p <.05).
Conclusions.
Prioritized actions to enhance PSC should be taken to reduce missed nursing care and adverse patient outcomes.
