How does authentic leadership influence the safety climate in nursing?
Article in BMJ leader, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundAuthentic leadership controls quality care and the safety of patients and healthcare professionals, especially nurses.
aimThis study examined the influence of nurses' authentic leadership on the safety climate.
methodsIn this predictive research, 314 Jordanian nurses from various hospitals were convenience sampled for cross-sectional and correlational design. This research included all hospital nurses with 1 year of experience, at least at the present hospital. SPSS (V.25) conducted descriptive statistics and multivariate analyses. As needed, sample variables' means, SD and frequencies were supplied.
resultsThe mean scores on the entire Authentic Leadership Questionnaire and its subscales were moderate. The mean score of the SCS was below 4 (out of 5), indicating negative safety climate perceptions. A significant positive moderate association was found between nurses' authentic leadership and safety climate. Nurses' authentic leadership predicted a safe climate. Internalised moral and balanced processing subscales were significant predictors of safety climate. Being woman and having a diploma inversely predicted the nurses' authentic leadership; however, the model was insignificant.
conclusionInterventions are needed to enhance the perception of the safety climate in hospitals. Nurses' authentic leadership increases their perceptions of a positive safety climate, and thus different strategies to build on nurses' authentic leadership characteristics are warranted. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING MANAGEMENT: The negative perceptions of the safety climate mandate that organisations create strategies to increase nurses' awareness about the safety climate. Shared leadership, learning environments and information sharing would improve nurses' perceptions of the safety climate. Future studies should examine other variables influencing safety climate with a more extensive and randomised sample. Safety climate and authentic leadership should be integrated into the nursing curricula and continuing education courses.
