Do leadership style, unit climate, and safety climate contribute to safe medication practices?

Farag A, Tullai-McGuinness S, Anthony MK, Burant C. J Nurs Adm. 2017;47:8-15.

This cross-sectional survey study found an association between nurses' perceptions of leadership and their responses to the AHRQ Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture. Nurses' responses about a nonpunitive response to error were associated with their willingness to report medication errors. The authors suggest that safety culture is necessary but not sufficient to support medication safety.
