“…This suggests that nurses moderately perceived and countered adverse patient safety issues. This differs from results found by Feng et al (Feng, Acord, Cheng, Zeng, & Song, 2011) who examined the level of patient safety culture among staff nurses and nurse managers. The authors noted that a staff nurses produced lower scores that nurse managers.…”

“…Kagan and Barnoy (Kagan & Barnoy, 2013) found that reporting errors was significantly influenced by a patient safety culture. In addition, Feng, Acord, Cheng, Zeng, and Song (Feng et al, 2011) note that a patient safety culture is influenced by nurse compliance to national goals that focus on patient safety. Steelman, Graling, and Perkhounkova (Steelman, Graling, & Perkhounkova, 2013) suggested that communicating safety related information to hospital nurses improves their nursing practices.…”

Aims and objectives: The project was designed to assess the level of professional commitment among Jordanian Registered Nurses and examine how professional commitment among nurses relates to patients' safety. Background:Professional commitment has received a great deal of interest worldwide. Nurses constitute the largest group of healthcare professionals that spend a majority of their time at the bedside in direct patient care. Nurses have an important role in improving patient safety and providing quality of care.Design: A descriptive, cross-sectional, correlational design was used to answer the research questions. Methods:A convenience sampling of 180 nurses selected from three accredited hospitals (governmental, private and university-affiliated teaching hospitals) completed two questionnaires; Professional Commitment Questionnaire (PCQ) and a Patient Safety Scale. Descriptive statistics, correlation coefficient, independent sample t-test, and one-way ANOVA test were used in data analysis.Result: Nurses' professional commitment was significantly and positively correlated with patient safety. Registered nurses perceived that their level of commitment was medium (M=3.47; SD=1.58 of a 7 point scale), with the highest mean recorded for nurses working in governmental hospitals (M=3.88; SD=1.53). The level of perception of issues related to patient safety was slightly higher than the midpoint (M=5.94; SD=1.38 of a 9 point scale). Nurses' professional commitment was influenced by gender t (158 =-2.33; p =.02), nursing experience in current hospitals (r=-0.193; p=0.01), current hospital sector (F=4.334, p=0.01), and monthly salary (F=12.327, p=0.000). Patient safety was influenced by nurses ' educational level (F=3.306, p=0.03). Conclusion:This study provides a preliminary understanding of how professional commitment of registered nurses can enhance patient safety. Managerial support was deemed necessary to enhance nurses' professional commitment, which, in turn, improves healthcare outcomes.

“…Leadership commitment to safety was expanded to include the original intent behind values and allocation of resources , which was changed to leadership behaviours and priorities , a broader heading. The change improved categorisation, yet still emphasised the importance of the influence of allocate resources to safety programmes as a fundamental priority for the leader and for the organisation (Feng et al., ; Lofquist et al., ; Pronovost et al., ; Sammer et al., ).…”

Aim:To validate a framework of factors that influence the relationship of transformational leadership and safety climate, and to enable testing of safety chain factors by generating hypotheses regarding their mediating and moderating effects.Background: Understanding the patient safety chain and mechanisms by which leaders affect a strong climate of safety is essential to transformational leadership practice, education, and research. Methods:A systematic review of leadership and safety literature was used to develop an organising framework of factors proposed to influence the climate of safety. A panel of 25 international experts in leadership and safety engaged a three-round modified Delphi study with Likert-scored surveys.Results: Eighty per cent of participating experts from six countries were retained to the final survey round. Consensus (>66% agreement) was achieved on 40 factors believed to influence safety climate in the acute care setting. Conclusions:Consensus regarding specific factors that play important roles in an organisation's climate of safety can be reached. Generally, the demonstration of leadership commitment to safety is key to cultivating a culture of patient safety. Implications for Nursing Management:Transformational nurse leaders should consider and employ all three categories of factors in daily leadership activities and decision-making to drive a strong climate of patient safety. K E Y W O R D SDelphi survey, nursing, patient safety, safety climate, transformational leadership | INTRODUCTIONHuman suffering caused by preventable medical error has taken a significant toll on patients, families and the second victims, health care organisations and clinicians (James, 2013). As care providers and consumers have become increasingly aware of the high rates of preventable patient deaths worldwide, the global health care community has called for transformational improvement in patient care quality and safety. To achieve this goal, an understanding of specifically how nurse leaders improve patient safety is essential. According to Wong (2015: p. 276), "the development and testing of robust conceptualisations of leadership that clearly describe leadership behaviours and identify the | BACKGROUNDTransformational leadership has a salient role in the safety chain by developing cultures of safety in the patient care environment (Buckner et al., 2014). This leadership style is associated with im- Despite a growing body of evidence related to TFL and its influence on patient safety outcomes (Merrill, 2015;Ross, 2011;Weng et al., 2015), further research is needed to explain how, why, or when these factors affect the safety chain by testing mediating and moderating effects (McFadden et al., 2014;Wong, 2015). A mediator specifies how the relationship between TFL and SC occurs, while a moderator interacts with TFL to vary the strength of the relationship with SC (Baron & Kenny, 1986). The framework validated by this study serves as an organising tool for this testing.The review of current evidence and prop...

“…Third, it must be noted that the safety factors included were personal characteristics, such as age, educational background and professional rank, as well as organisational characteristics, such as hospital level. Some researchers have shown that other factors may be involved with clinical nurses’ safety attitudes, such as manager safety commitment (Feng, Acord, Cheng, Zeng, & Song, ) and safety policies (Krause & Weekley, ). Future research may therefore need to include or control for such factors.…”
