Manapragada A, Bruk-Lee V, Thompson AH, et al. When safety climate is not enough: Examining the moderating effects of psychosocial hazards on nurse safety performance. J Adv Nurs. 2019;75(6):1207-1218. doi:10.1111/jan.13911.

In this cross-sectional survey study involving nurses, researchers found a positive association between a strong safety climate and behaviors taken by nurses to promote safety. Perceptions of high levels of stressors in the work environment weakened this association.
