Abstract

This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of a program for improving interpersonal relationships to foster psychological safety among geriatric care workers. A randomized controlled trial was conducted with 192 care workers in seven geriatric care facilities. Participants were divided into intervention or control groups; intervention groups attended a 60-minute program twice. Participants completed questionnaires addressing psychological safety, work environment, and intention to leave three times in six months. A linear multiple regression analysis was performed for each score at Time 1 or Time 2 as the dependent variable, with the score at baseline as the covariate. The psychological safety score increased (p < .05), and the “exclusive workplace climate” score decreased (p < .10) between the baseline and second survey. However, the significance became nonexistent between the second and third surveys. Although the program effectively fostered psychological safety, further ingenuity should be provided for continued effectiveness.

促进心理安全的教育计划的开发和有效性：针对老年护理机构护理人员的随机对照试验。

本研究旨在考察一项改善人际关系以促进老年护理工作者心理安全的计划的有效性。研究人员对七家老年护理机构的 192 名护理人员进行了随机对照试验。参与者被分为干预组和对照组；干预组参加两次 60 分钟的课程。参与者在 6 个月内完成了 3 次关于心理安全、工作环境和离职意向的问卷调查。以时间 1 或时间 2 的每项得分作为因变量，以基线得分作为协变量，进行了线性多元回归分析。在基线和第二次调查之间，心理安全得分增加了（p < .05），"独有的工作场所氛围 "得分降低了（p < .10）。然而，第二次和第三次调查之间的显著性变得不存在了。尽管该计划有效地促进了心理安全，但要想继续取得成效，还需要进一步的创新。
