Abstract
BackgroundIt is critical to understand but difficult to study nursing behavior in response to safety interventions. MethodsA common nursing scenario, evidence based on appropriate nursing actions in response to patient safety risks, and a corresponding measure of nursing behavior, the Safety Action Performance Scale, were developed. These tools were content validated and tested for feasibility. ResultsThe scenario was low-cost, realistic, and successfully used in a mixed-method pilot study. The Safety Action Performance Scale was easy to use and revise for greater interrater reliability. ConclusionSimulation provides a feasible means for testing safety interventions to improve safety-oriented behavior and subsequent patient outcomes.
