Abstract

Just culture is essential for quality improvement and patient safety. This descriptive study measured perceptions of just culture among nursing students and faculty using the Just Culture Assessment Tool for Nursing Education (JCAT-NE). There were no significant differences in JCAT-NE scores for students (M = 133.43, SD = 19.12) and faculty (M = 136.34, SD = 22.73) (t[159] = 0.82, p = .42); however, there were significant differences in JCAT-NE scores based on level of experience. For students, JCAT-NE scores were significantly higher for sophomores than for seniors (F[2, 114] = 4.9, p = .01). For faculty, advanced beginner and competent faculty had significantly higher scores compared with proficient and expert faculty (t[42] = 2.36, p = .02). More needs to be done to establish a fair and just culture in schools of nursing. [J Nurs Educ. 2022;61(5):257-260.].
