Safety attitudes among pediatric nurses in a Chinese tertiary hospital: a cross-sectional study of multilevel factors.
Article in BMC medical education, 2026. 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
backgroundNurses’ safety attitudes are a pivotal determinant of medical safety and a key facilitator of high-quality care delivery. This study was conducted to evaluate the current status of safety attitudes among pediatric nurses and pinpoint the key factors that modulate these attitudes.
methodsA cross-sectional survey was performed among pediatric nurses affiliated with a Grade A tertiary children’s hospital in Nanjing, China. Data were collected using two standardized instruments: a General Information Questionnaire (capturing demographic and professional characteristics) and the Safety Attitudes Questionnaire (SAQ), a validated tool widely employed to assess safety attitudes in healthcare professionals.
resultsA total of 280 pediatric nurses were recruited and included in the analysis. The mean overall safety attitude score of the participants was 120.45 ± 20.18. Among all dimensions of the SAQ, “Teamwork” achieved the lowest scores (22.48 ± 4.00), with items related to work-related stress and fatigue identified as the primary contributors to the low performance in this domain. Multiple linear regression analysis further identified five independent factors associated with lower safety attitude scores: age < 30 years (β = − 0.215, P = 0.008), lower educational background (β = − 0.243, P = 0.003), work experience < 5 years (β = − 0.230, P = 0.001), lower professional title (β = − 0.192, P = 0.004), and non-participation in safety training (β = − 0.305, P = 0.001). Collectively, these factors explained 52.6% of the variance in safety attitude scores (R² = 0.526, F = 28.753, P < 0.001).
conclusionThe findings of this study suggest that pediatric nurses demonstrate moderately positive safety attitudes. Team collaboration and fatigue management emerged as critical areas warranting targeted interventions for improvement.
