Patient safety culture: A missing puzzle piece in patient care in the nursing profession

Abstract

In healthcare, patient safety is regarded as a paramount concern, with nurses playing a pivotal role in safeguarding the well-being of those under their care [1]. However, amidst the complex web of healthcare delivery, one crucial aspect often overlooked is the significance of patient safety culture within the nursing profession [2]. Patient safety culture encompasses the values, attitudes, beliefs, and norms shared by healthcare professionals regarding patient safety, and its absence can hinder the delivery of high-quality care [3, 4].
