Aims: The purpose of this study is to examine how the interaction between nurse openness and work experience is related to patient safety.

Background: No study has yet examined the interactions between these, and how openness and work experience jointly impact patient safety.

Methods: This study adopts a cross-sectional design, using self-reported work experience, perceived time pressure and measures of patient safety, and was conducted in a major medical centre.
