Relationship between psychological safety and reporting nonadherence to a safety checklist.

Gilmartin HM, Langner P, Gokhale M, et al. J Nurs Care Qual. 2018;33:53-60.

In a robust safety culture, nurses and other health care workers feel comfortable reporting safety hazards without fear of repercussions. This study found no relationship between nurse-reported psychological safety and adherence to a central line insertion checklist in the Veterans Affairs system. A recent PSNet interview with Linda Aiken discussed what investments in the nursing workforce yield the biggest safety impacts.
