Nurses addressed two sets of factors: one related to the experiences of safety and the other related to the implementation of safe care.
Practice Implications:
The views of the nurses contribute to formalization of organizational policies and strategies. In particular, they highlight the importance of continual training for the staff and management, considering patients' views, and treating patients as collaborators in their care.
