Patient safety culture can improve the quality of nursing care

Patient safety is an indispensable and vital component of healthcare systems, constituting a fundamental pillar of quality within healthcare organizations 1. Currently, the focus on ensuring patient safety is a crucial aspect of delivering healthcare services in hospitals, as any deficiencies in this area may result in unfavorable outcomes. Indeed, the entitlement to be protected from harm while undergoing medical treatment is a fundamental human right. Ensuring patient safety is a critical measure of hospital management, and neglecting it may result in a rise in patient mortality 2. Nursing errors and mistakes not only result in harm to patients but also give rise to various issues. These include ineffective and incomplete treatment, prolonged hospital stays, escalated expenses, erosion of patient confidence in the healthcare system, and the potential for legal complications for nurses 3.
