Abstract
Background
This web-based cross-sectional study examined whether psychological safety mediates the relationship between climate of silence and team learning during debriefings among nursing students.
Methods
This cross-sectional descriptive study included 200 Korean nursing students who completed a web-based questionnaire. Mediation analysis using the percentile bootstrap method was performed.
Results
Climate of silence and psychological safety significantly predicted team learning. Psychological safety mediated the relationship between climate of silence and team learning among nursing students.
Conclusions
Nurse educators should develop and implement targeted strategies to optimize climate of silence and psychological safety, which are critical predictors of team learning.
期刊介绍:
Clinical Simulation in Nursing is an international, peer reviewed journal published online monthly. Clinical Simulation in Nursing is the official journal of the International Nursing Association for Clinical Simulation & Learning (INACSL) and reflects its mission to advance the science of healthcare simulation.
We will review and accept articles from other health provider disciplines, if they are determined to be of interest to our readership. The journal accepts manuscripts meeting one or more of the following criteria:
Research articles and literature reviews (e.g. systematic, scoping, umbrella, integrative, etc.) about simulation
Innovative teaching/learning strategies using simulation
Articles updating guidelines, regulations, and legislative policies that impact simulation
Leadership for simulation
Simulation operations
Clinical and academic uses of simulation.
