Aims: To determine if there is a moderating effect of cultural intelligence between the conflict of nursing relationships and teamwork.Background: Relationship conflicts that exist in the nursing teamwork cannot be ignored. It would lead to poor teamwork and impact on patients' poor outcomes. In the meantime, cultural intelligence has been proven that people who have a higher cultural intelligence can do better at the work. Methods:The sample included 550 clinic nurses from five different hospitals in Shanghai. The Cultural Intelligence Scale, the Relationship Conflict Scale, and the Nursing Teamwork Survey Scale were used to investigate. Through the Johnson-Neyman method and SPSS Process Macro, the moderating effect of cultural intelligence was analysed. Results:The findings showed that cultural intelligence was founded to be significant (b = 2.03, p < 0.01). When the cultural intelligence score is greater than or equal to 90.8, the relationship conflict between nurses will not affect teamwork. Conclusions:The findings of this study may provide data to improve nurses' performance in team cooperation.

Aims This study aimed to explore the correlation between patient power distance and their willingness to participate in patient safety. Background The positive significance of patient participation in patient safety has been widely recognized worldwide, but in clinical practice, patients' willingness to participate is uneven and lack of initiative. Methods This study is a cross‐sectional survey of hospitalized patients (n = 660) from six tertiary hospitals in Shanghai. Pearson's correlation analysis analyzed data. Results Patients have a higher power distance (4.08 ± 0.59). The willingness of patients to participate in patient safety was moderate (3.50 ± 1.03). Pearson's correlation analysis shows that patients' power distance negatively and slightly affected their willingness of participation (r = −.134, p < .001). The perceived authority dimension of patients' power distance has no significant correlation with patients' willingness of participation (p > .05). The emotional communication dimension of patients' power distance negatively affects patients' disease‐related willingness (r = −.077, p < .001). The decision‐making participation dimension of patients' power distance negatively affects patients' willingness (R = −.201, p < .001). Conclusions Medical staff should focus on patients' power distance in medical activities. In addition, appropriate communication methods should be selected according to patients' power distance, so as to help them improve their willingness of participation. Implications for Nursing Management Nurse managers should educate nurses on the knowledge of power distance and its importance. By evaluating patients' power distance, humanistic care and meticulous communication are implemented to encourage patients to actively participate in patient safety.
