Data Sources: Electronic search of the Cochrane Library, OVID Medline, CINAHL. Study selection: Published English language studies that measured the effectiveness of nursing care on patient safety culture strategies. Results of Data Synthesis: Over 72 articles were screened, with 30 studies meeting the inclusion criteria; there was some evidence to support nurse’s level mix, leadership, safe drug administration, simulation training programme, and integration of patient safety into nursing professional curriculum. Conclusions: necessary to vary staffing levels and mix, simulation has demonstrated effectiveness as a method to train practicing nurses for new procedures, communication processes. Also add to evidence about the importance of nurse staffing to patient safety; evidence that must influence policy.
