Abstract
To identify the relationship between safety culture structures and selected safety outcomes in isolation units, 120 registered nurses were invited to participate. Ten patient safety culture composites and two safety outcomes composites were measured. The patient safety composites with the highest positive scores were organizational learning, feedback and communication about error and teamwork within units. The composites with the lowest scores were staffing, and non-punitive response to errors. Positive significant correlations highlight staffing and non-punitive response to errors as key challenges for patient safe hospital care.
