Insights from critical care nurses: role of leadership coaching in enhancing incident reporting culture: a cross-sectional study.
Article in BMC nursing, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundIncident reporting in critical care settings is essential for patient safety, yet underreporting remains a challenge. Leadership coaching has emerged as a potential strategy to enhance a culture of safety by empowering nurses to actively engage in incident reporting.
aimThis study explores the role of leadership coaching behavior in incident reporting culture among critical care nurses and investigates the relationship between leadership coaching behavior and various subdomains of incident reporting culture among nurses in critical care units.
methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted at all critical care units of Alexandria Main University Hospital, Egypt. Data were collected from a convenience sample of 240 critical care nurses via the Incident Reporting Culture Questionnaire and Leader Coaching Behavior Questionnaire. Correlation and regression analyses were utilized to achieve the aims of the study.
resultsCritical care nurses reported moderate levels of leadership coaching behavior (3.65 ± 0.82) and incident reporting culture (3.23 ± 0.50). Leadership coaching behavior correlated strongly with incident reporting culture (r = 0.617, p < 0.001), particularly in terms of communication, learning from errors, and feedback provision. Hierarchical regression revealed that adding leadership coaching behavior increased the explained variance from 23.5 to 50.5% (ΔR² = 0.270, p < 0.001), making it the strongest predictor.
conclusionsThe findings highlight the critical role of leadership coaching behavior in fostering an open and supportive incident reporting culture in critical care settings. Integrating coaching strategies into leadership development programs may enhance patient safety by encouraging transparency and accountability among nursing staff. RELEVANCE TO CLINICAL PRACTICE: Nurse managers should design coaching programs to empower nurses to identify and report safety concerns more effectively, resulting in more comprehensive data collection and enhanced risk management. Additionally, leadership coaching can be integrated into hospital policies and professional development programs, ensuring a long-term commitment to improving safety culture. Nursing schools can employ real-world scenarios to teach students how to navigate reporting systems and address patient safety concerns effectively. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: Not applicable.
