With providing high-quality health care services as the fundamental purpose, medical institutions should regard safeguarding patient safety as the core task. In recent years, the Chinese government has formulated relevant policies to promote patient safety. Medical institutions at all levels have formulated corresponding systems and measures in accordance with the policy requirements and the features of hospitals. However, due to the long-term impact of traditional harsh culture on the medical environment, many of the views and behaviors have not been fundamentally changed, leading to many problems in patient safety performance. As a group who first discover and handle patient safety problems, nurses can identify the causes of safety problems in a relatively accurate way. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct an in-depth study on the relationship between patient safety culture and safety performance in nursing.
