AI Article Synopsis
- Applying technology to medication safety can improve healthcare quality and help manage medication errors more effectively.
- This study explored how the perceived benefits of medication safety systems mediate the relationship between transformational leadership and the environment for managing medication errors.
- Results showed that transformational leadership positively influences both the perceived benefits of using the system and the management climate for medication errors, highlighting the importance of strong leadership in promoting effective safety systems.
Article Abstract
Background: Evidence indicates that applying technology to medication safety will improve the quality of medical services and enhance the medication-error management climate. The perceived benefits of using the medication safety system are an important factor for adopting a system.
Aims: The purpose of this study was to investigate the mediating role of the perceived benefits of using a medication safety system in the relationship between transformational leadership and the medication-error management climate.
Methods: A total of 153 staff nurses from 11 secondary or tertiary hospitals in Korea were included. Descriptive statistics, -tests, analysis of variance, Pearson correlations and multiple regression analyses were used.
Results: Transformational leadership was significantly correlated with the perceived benefits of the system use ( = .17, = .032) and medication-error management climate ( = .55, < .001). The perceived benefit of using the medication safety system was a mediator between transformational leadership and the medication-error management climate.
Conclusions: When chief executive officers construct and implement a medication safety system in their hospitals, transformational leadership can enhance the perceived benefits of system use, which is an important factor that contributes to a positive medication-error management climate.

How negative self-perceptions of aging relate to physical activity (PA) in older adults with arthritis is unclear. We examined whether general health mediated the relationship between Awareness of Age-Related change (AARC) losses and PA. We analyzed baseline data from a randomized controlled trial of a PA intervention for adults ≥60 years who self-reported PA, AARC, general health, pain, and social support.
