“…Other researchers acknowledged that systems thinking can be taught and learned (Moore et al, 2018), and special occupational experiences and organisational culture can help the individuals apply systems thinking (Carey et al, 2015). Other studies reported that scores of safe nursing care (Kalantari et al, 2019) and attitudes towards patient safety (Durgun & Kaya, 2018) were not significantly different in terms of demographic and professional variables, such as nurses’ gender, age, type of employment, education level, experience, patient safety training and hospital quality certification.…”

Aim To assess nurses’ perceptions of systems thinking, safe nursing care and the correlation between them. Background Systems thinking and safe nursing care are the key elements of quality improvement approaches, such as accreditation and patient safety programmes. However, these two variables have not been well studied in different health care settings. Methods In this cross‐sectional study, 300 nurses were selected using the stratified random sampling method. The data were collected using a demographic data form, systems thinking scale and assessment of safe nursing care questionnaire. Results The scores of nurses’ perceptions of systems thinking (63.25 ± 9.20) and safe nursing care (4.13 ± 0.60) were above average. A positive correlation was found between systems thinking and safe nursing care (r = .66, p < .001), and its dimensions: nursing skills (r = .61, p < .001), psychological needs (r = .56, p < .001), physical needs (r = .51, p < .001) and teamwork (r = .56, p < .001). Conclusion Regarding the correlation between systems thinking and safe nursing care, nurses and other medical professionals, especially novices, are recommended to strengthen their systems thinking skills to improve the safe nursing care. Implications for Nursing Management Nurse managers should deal with organisational condition and factors affecting some poor aspects of systems thinking and safe nursing care. They must lead, support and allocate resources to the foundations of systems thinking to achieve safe nursing care.

“…4 Patient safety issues negatively impact healthcare systems and patients, leading to prolonged hospitalizations and increased morbidity, mortality, and costs. 1,3,4,10 In 2000, a landmark report from the IOM drew the attention of the healthcare community to patient safety with its assertion that 44 000-98 000 patients die each year from medical errors. 11 In 2008, the World Health Organization World Alliance for Patient Safety reported that unsafe patient care is related to significant morbidity and mortality globally.…”

Introduction: Patient safety has become a crucial priority in quality healthcare. Adverse events and serious errors involving critically ill patients are common and can be potentially life-threatening. Thus, this study aimed to examine patient safety attitudes among critical care nurses. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in two hospitals in North Cyprus. Eighty nurses working in critical care units participated in the study. Following ethical approval, data were collected between September and October 2018, using the Demographic Characteristics Questionnaire and Safety Attitudes Questionnaire. Findings: Nurses' overall scores regarding patient safety attitudes were found to be negative. The highest positive rate was for safety climate, followed by perception of management, teamwork, working conditions, job satisfaction, and stress recognition, respectively. There were significant differences among working conditions, perception of management, and stress recognition based on participants' positions and event reporting. Conclusion: Our findings indicate safety culture needs to be improved in the hospitals included in the study. Healthcare managers and decision-makers should foster patient safety culture through in-service education, management support, institutional regulations, and updated guidelines.
