This project explored safety behaviour in the nursing environment and tested interventions believed to influence nurse behaviour and health outcomes

The researchers evaluated a workplace intervention aimed at improving the safety culture within nursing units in a Nova Scotia health district. The intervention included biweekly group discussions in which nursing staff explored the reasons for workplace accidents, identified solutions and developed action plans. Pre- and post-intervention surveys and participant feedback were used to assess the impact of the intervention

The authors also provide recommendations for future interventions
