Characteristics of the nursing work environment, such as nurse staffing and safety culture, can affect patient safety. This scoping review explored the role of the nursing work environment on safety culture in primary care settings. The researchers identified several characteristics of nursing work environments that can impact safety (e.g., leadership, communication, organizational culture) but note that additional research is needed to identify effective strategies to improve nursing work environments and promote safe primary care.
