Breaking the silence: a cross-sectional study of psychological capital, job embeddedness, and silence behavior in operating room nurses
Clinical Report: Examining the Interplay of Psychological Capital, Job Embeddedness, and Silence Behavior Among Operating Room Nurses
Overview
This study investigates the relationships among psychological capital, job embeddedness, and silence behavior in operating room nurses. Findings indicate that silence behavior is negatively correlated with psychological capital and that job embeddedness mediates this relationship.
Background
Operating room nurses face high-stress environments that can lead to silence behavior, where they withhold important clinical information. Understanding the factors influencing this behavior, such as psychological capital and job embeddedness, is crucial for improving communication and patient safety in surgical settings.
