Abstract
The purpose of this study was to explore the relationships between psychological safety, perception of working in a high reliability organization (HRO) and safety event reporting intentions among pediatric nurses working in acute care.
The quality and safety of patient care is dependent upon nurses to report safety events and near-misses in order to address systems' issues and identify improvement opportunities. To encourage feedback and promote reporting, many health care organizations have adopted the high reliability framework and strategies to promote team psychological safety. A dearth of literature exists on how the pediatric nurse perceives their workplace. This study addressed this gap by measuring the pediatric nurse's level of psychological safety, perception of whether or not they work in an HRO and their safety event reporting intentions.
