Abstract: Nurses' sense of empowerment and ability to speak up against unsafe clinical practice are crucial to patient safety and staff wellbeing. However, research examining these attitudes among newly qualified nurses is lacking. This study aimed to investigate perceptions of organisational empowerment and willingness to speak up against perceived unsafe practice among newly qualified nurses in Saudi Arabia. A questionnaire was completed by a convenient s le of 83 newly qualified nurses in the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia. Descriptive statistics and Spearman's correlation coefficient (rho) were used for data analysis. The nurses reported moderate levels of both empowerment and willingness to speak up against unsafe practice. There was a statistically significant correlation between the participants' total structured empowerment score and their speaking up score. Willingness to speak up against potentially unsafe practice was also correlated with participants' perceived access to support at work. These findings highlight the need to support newly qualified nurses to develop their level of empowerment and assertive communication skills. Nurse managers, educators and peers must therefore consider practical strategies to help build and sustain newly qualified nurses' sense of work empowerment and assertiveness.

Abstract: To explore nursing students' experiences of patient safety and peer reporting using hypothetical medication administration scenarios. Pre-registration nurse training is tasked with the preparation of students able to provide safe, high quality nursing care. How students' contextualise teaching related to patient safety, risk recognition and management in the clinical setting is less clear. A total of 321 third year students enrolled in the final semester of an adult branch pre-registration nursing programme in 2011 in a UK university were surveyed. Using free texts, the questionnaire contained hypothetical medication administration scenarios where patient safety could potentially be at risk. Students' qualitative responses were analysed using thematic analysis. The response rate was 58% (n = 186). Four themes were identified from the scenarios: (1) Protecting patient safety (2) Willingness to compromise (3) Avoiding responsibility (4) Consequences from my actions. The findings underscore the importance of contextual teaching about risk management, practical techniques for error management and leadership for optimal patient safety in nursing curricula. Nurse managers are role models for nursing students in the clinical setting. Nursing management must lead, by ex le, the patient safety agenda in the clinical setting.
