How patient safety culture influences nurses' responsibility: a structural equation modeling study.
Article in BMC nursing, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundPatient safety culture plays a vital role in shaping nurses' professional responsibility, which is essential for delivering high-quality care. Clarifying this relationship and its variations across demographic factors can help healthcare systems implement more effective improvement strategies. This study aimed to examine how patient safety culture influences nurses' professional responsibility, considering the moderating effects of demographic characteristics.
methodsThis descriptive-analytical cross-sectional study was conducted from January to April 2025 among 301 nurses at Samen al-Hojaj Hospital in Sirjan, southern Iran, using a census sampling method. Data were collected using a demographic questionnaire, the Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture (HSOPSC), and Hassaniyan's Responsibility Questionnaire based on Carroll's Model. Partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) was used to examine the associations between patient safety culture and nurses' responsibility.
resultsThe mean score of patient safety culture was 2.93 out of 5, with 63.5% of responses categorized as positive, indicating an acceptable safety culture. Nurses' responsibility averaged 108.3 out of 175, reflecting a good level overall. Pearson's correlation showed a significant and positive relationship between safety culture and responsibility (r = 0.61, p < 0.001, 95% CI: 0.53-0.68). The SEM analysis confirmed a significant positive effect of patient safety culture on responsibility (β = 0.59, p < 0.001). Age and work experience significantly moderated this relationship, with stronger associations observed among older and more experienced nurses.
conclusionThis study underscores the association between patient safety culture and nurses' responsibility, emphasizing its potential influence within healthcare settings. Strengthening dimensions such as hospital management support, non-punitive response to error, and overall perceptions of safety may foster higher levels of responsibility among nurses. Moreover, designing interventions tailored to nurses' age and experience can further reinforce responsible behavior and the overall quality of care. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: Not applicable.
