Abstract:
This study measured implicit and explicit
attitudes toward major nursing safety violations using the Implicit Association
Test (IAT) and self-reported questionnaires, respectively. Experiment 1 sampled
nursing students (n = 71), and Experiment 2 sampled patient safety nurses (n = 38).
Although reaction time to IAT stimuli of major nursing safety
violations was quicker than of general nursing behaviors, error trials did not
reveal a significant difference between IAT stimuli of major nursing safety
violations and of general nursing behaviors in Experiment 1. Explicit attitude
was related with intention to violate safety protocols in Experiment 1. In
Experiment 2, both reaction time and error trials showed significant differences
between IAT stimuli of major nursing safety violations and of general nursing
behaviors. This was interpreted in that patient safety nurses had formed a firm
implicit attitude, unlike the nursing students; however, the findings suggested
that attitudes were not related to violations in nursing.
