Abstract
Background: While just culture is embraced in the clinical setting, just culture has not been systematically incorporated into nursing education.
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to assess prelicensure nursing student perceptions of just culture in academia.
Methods: Following a quantitative, descriptive design, the Just Culture Assessment Tool for Nursing Education (JCAT-NE) was used to measure just culture across multiple (N = 15) nursing programs.
Results: The majority of JCAT-NE respondents (78%) reported their program has a safety reporting system, 15.4% had involvement in a safety-related event, and 12% submitted an error report. The JCAT-NE mean total score was 127.4 (SD, 23.6), with a statistically significant total score decline as students progressed from the beginning (133.6 [SD, 20.52]) to the middle (129.77 [SD, 23.6]) and end (122.2 [SD, 25.43]) of their programs (chi(2)[2] = 25.09, P < .001).
Conclusions: The results from this study are a call to action for nursing education to emphasize the tenets of just culture, error reporting, and quality improvement.
