A Cross-sectional Study Evaluating the Association Between the Nursing Practice Environment and Missed Nursing Care in Medical and Surgical Wards in Jordan

Background: Missed nursing care can jeopardize the safety of patients. The practice environment contains various elements that may impact nursing staff's capability to provide appropriate care. Purpose: To examine the association between the practice environment and missed nursing care in Jordanian hospitals. Methods: A cross-sectional design, including the MISSCARE survey and the Practice Environment Scale of the Nursing Work Index, was used for this study. Results: Data were gathered from 672 nurses working in 10 hospitals between March and July 2021. Findings revealed significant negative correlations between nurses' participation in hospital affairs (r = −0.077, P = .046), nursing foundations for quality of care (r = −0.139, P < .001), and missed nursing care. Conclusion: Information from this study can help nursing leaders modify practice environment elements that impact missed nursing care occurrences, which will help improve the quality of care provided to patients.
