Randomized trial examines the relationship between nursing competences and patient safety culture, indicating important implications.

To describe levels of nursing competences and patient safety culture and examine their relationships through management activities.
Multicenter cross-sectional study among 1,036 nurses across five tertiary hospitals in central Vietnam.
Competence and safety culture measured using validated tools: P-CAT, H-PEPSS, PSMA, and HSOPSC.
Statistical analyses included descriptive statistics, Pearson correlations, and multivariable linear regression.
Moderate-to-high levels of person-centered care competence (3.77), patient safety competence (4.23), and management activities (4.44); moderate safety culture (3.93).
Strong positive correlation between person-centered care competence and patient safety culture (r = 0.49, p < 0.001).
Significant partial mediation effects of patient safety management activities for both competencies on safety culture (indirect βs = 0.0265 for person-centered care and 0.0497 for patient safety competence).

Duy et al. (2026) studied this question.
