Influence of psychological safety and safety climate perceptions on nurses’ infection prevention and occupational safety practices and environment.
This study’s aim was to describe and examine the relationships among elements of infection prevention practices, the care environment, psychological safety, and safety climate in adult medical surgical units in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. Electronic surveys were given to nurses in adult inpatient medical surgical units in the Northeast. A total of 259 nurses responded. Overall psychological safety had an average rating of 3.5 (neutral) on a scale of 1 to 5. There were better ratings for safety climate (4.0) but also identified areas for improvement. Eight out of twelve infection practices were correlated with higher safety climate scores and ten with higher psychological safety scores. Nine out of ten environmental factors were correlated with higher safety climate and higher psychological safety scores.
