This study tested a theoretical model derived from Kanter's theory of workplace empowerment by surveying a random sample of 300 registered nurses employed in acute care hospitals across the Canadian province of Ontario. The results of this study effectively replicated the findings of a previous exploratory study. Specific nursing practice environment characteristics that positively influence the climate of patient safety were identified. This study provides nurse leaders with ideas for improving the patient safety climate by improving the quality of nurses' work environments.
本研究通过对加拿大安大略省急症护理医院雇佣的300名注册护士进行随机抽样调查，检验了一个源自坎特工作场所赋权理论的理论模型。本研究结果有效地重复了之前一项探索性研究的发现。确定了对患者安全氛围有积极影响的具体护理实践环境特征。本研究为护士领导者提供了通过改善护士工作环境质量来改善患者安全氛围的思路。
