“…The findings of this review highlighted that nurses' knowledge, perceptions, and attitudes influenced their adherence to patient-safety principles. Nurses have multiple roles and central responsibility to keep patients safe in the complex healthcare environment [57,58]. The effect of personal and professional values and attitudes on the consistency of adherence to patient safety by nurses has been shown to be more important than the effect of their workloads [22].…”

Background: Quality-of-care improvement and prevention of practice errors is dependent on nurses' adherence to the principles of patient safety. Aims: This paper aims to provide a systematic review of the international literature, to synthesise knowledge and explore factors that influence nurses' adherence to patient-safety principles. Methods: Electronic databases in English, Norwegian, and Finnish languages were searched, using appropriate keywords to retrieve empirical articles published from 2010-2019. Using the theoretical domains of the Vincent's framework for analysing risk and safety in clinical practice, we synthesized our findings according to 'patient', 'healthcare provider', 'task', 'work environment', and 'organisation and management'. Findings: Six articles were found that focused on adherence to patient-safety principles during clinical nursing interventions. They focused on the management of peripheral venous catheters, surgical hand rubbing instructions, double-checking policies of medicines management, nursing handover between wards, cardiac monitoring and surveillance, and care-associated infection precautions. Patients' participation, healthcare providers' knowledge and attitudes, collaboration by nurses, appropriate equipment and electronic systems, education and regular feedback, and standardization of the care process influenced nurses' adherence to patient-safety principles. Conclusions: The revelation of individual and systemic factors has implications for nursing care practice, as both influence adherence to patient-safety principles. More studies using qualitative and quantitative methods are required to enhance our knowledge of measures needed to improve nurse' adherence to patient-safety principles and their effects on patient-safety outcomes.

“…Charge nurses (CNs) are important leaders in their respective hospital units [1][2][3][4][5][6][7]. When becoming a CN, the nurses often performs their duties with limited leadership training or role clarification [1][2][3][4]6,[8][9][10]. This restricts leadership development, and causes unnecessary stress for the CN [2][3][4]11].…”

“…However, registered nurses (RNs) transition to CN is not well described or understood [12]. While several studies have emphasized the importance of role preparation and competence development [2,3,8,11,13], less research has focused on how CNs perceive their situation [1,3,6].…”

“…Furthermore, Krugman et al [13] argued that CN training programs must be tailored to meet the specific requirements of that role. Moreover, Delamater and Hall 3 and Cathro 6 point out that relevance of education to the role as CN is crucial.…”

“…The role of the CN is well described in the literature [1][2][3][4][5][6]13,21], but little is known about how ED CNs experience their situation. This study aimed to explore how charge nurses perceive their role in managing daily work and major incidents in the ED.…”
