dc.description.abstract | Aim. The aim of this study was to examine the impacts of nurses’ psychological
capital and managerial support, plus specific safety interventions (managerial safety
priorities, safety training satisfaction), on nurses’ in-role safety performance.
Background. Most hospitals in industrialized countries have adopted selective (often
the least costly) aspects of safety, usually related to safety policies. However, patient
safety remains a challenge in many countries. Research shows that training can be
used to upskill employees in psychological capital, with statistically significant
organizational and employee benefits, but this area is under-researched in nursing.
Design. Data were collected using a survey-based, self-report strategy. The emerging
patterns of data were then compared with the findings of previous research.
Methods. Quantitative survey data were collected during 2014 from 242 nurses
working in six Australian hospitals. Two models were tested and analysed using
covariance-based Structural Equation Modelling.
Results. Psychological capital and safety training satisfaction were important
predictors of nurses’ in-role safety performance and as predictors of nurses’
perceptions of whether management implements what it espouses about safety
(‘managerial safety priorities’). Managerial support accounted for just under a
third of psychological capital and together, psychological capital and managerial
support, plus satisfaction with safety training, were important to nurses’
perceptions of in-role safety performance.
Conclusion. Organizations are likely to benefit from upskilling nurses and their
managers to increase nurses’ psychological capital and managerial support, which
then will enhance nurses’ satisfaction with training and in-role safety performance
perceptions. | |
