Results:
Out of 220 articles, 30 met the inclusion criteria. This review identifies five essential elements and outcomes of psychological safety in healthcare.
Conclusion:
This systematic review corroborates the importance of psychological safety to healthcare teams. Directing resources toward ensuring the implementation and enhancement of psychological safety in healthcare teams would improve the likelihood of reliable, safe, and high-quality healthcare delivery.
