The relationship between professional values and perceived safety climate in pediatric nurses: a cross-sectional study in Iran.

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
backgroundProfessional values and safety climate are critical components of nursing practice that influence patient outcomes and workplace efficiency. In pediatric settings, where patient vulnerability and ethical demands are elevated, understanding the interplay between these concepts is essential. This study aimed to examine the relationship between professional values and the safety climate among pediatric nurses in two referral hospitals in Tehran, Iran.
methodsA descriptive-correlational cross-sectional design was employed. The study sample included 201 nurses selected through random sampling from Bahrami Hospital and the Children's Medical Center. Data were collected using three instruments: a demographic information form, the Nurses Professional Values Scale-Revised (NPVS-R), and the Nurses' Safety Climate Assessment Questionnaire. Statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS version 24. Descriptive statistics, independent t-tests, analysis of variance (ANOVA), Pearson's correlation, and multiple linear regression analysis were performed. Given the multiple correlation analyses conducted, the Bonferroni correction was applied. Accordingly, the significance threshold for Pearson's correlation coefficients was adjusted to 0.001. For all other statistical tests, a P-value of less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant.
resultsThe mean total score of professional values was 106.20 (SD = 15.81) and the mean perceived safety climate score was 2.92 (SD = 0.80), indicating a high level of professional values and a moderate perception of safety climate. A significant positive correlation was found between professional values and safety climate (r = 0.235, P < 0.001). Among the dimensions of professional values, Caring (r = 0.274, P < 0.001) showed the strongest association with the safety climate. Multiple linear regression showed that the dimensions of professional values explained 10.5% of the variance in safety climate (R²=0.105, P < 0.001). Among them, only Caring was a significant positive predictor (β = 0.286, P = 0.011).
conclusionProfessional values, especially Caring, play a significant role in shaping nurses' perceptions of the safety climate. Strengthening professional values through educational and organizational interventions may enhance safety culture and patient care quality. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: Not applicable.
