Background and Objectives: High moral intelligence in nurses is considered a supportive factor against different pressures and is assumed to promote psychological safety. The present study aimed to investigate the relationship between moral intelligence and psychological safety of nurses in emergency and intensive care units. Methods: This descriptive-correlational study was conducted on 255 n...

a brief background to the development of the rock engineering design process is given, showing that since the development of the science of mathematics, deterministic methods have been used to perform various calculations. the variability of rock properties and support characteristics have always been known. however, they were not explicitly used in design but compensated for by the use of a sa...

background: if you want to start a long journey towards patient safety, you should create a good culture of patient safety among employees alongside structural interventions. the first step in doing so is the assessment of current culture in the organization using different tools. one of the most commonly used instruments of measuring patient safety culture is hospital survey of patient safety ...

The Highway Safety Manual [HSM, 2010] recommends safety evaluations be performed before implementing any roadway treatment to predict the expected safety consequences. Safety consequences can be measured using crash prediction models, Crash Modification Factor (CMFs), or both. This paper develops a CMF to show the expected impact of red-light cameras (RLCs) on safety at signalized intersections...

While sophisticated analytical methods like Morgenstern-Price or finite elementmethods are available for more realistic analysis of stability of slopes, assessment of the exactvalues of soil parameters is practically impossible. Uncertainty in the soil parameters arisesfrom two different sources: scatter in data and systematic error inherent in the estimate of soilproperties. Hence, stability o...

background: workplace safety has been a concern of workers and managers for decades. measuring safety climate is crucial in improving safety performance. it is also a method of benchmarking safety perception. objective: to develop and validate a psychometrics scale for measuring nurses' safety climate. methods: literature review, subject matter experts and nurse's judgment were used in items de...

In the current engineering practices, buildings are commonly designed for an effective lifetime of 50 years. This lifetime can increase the cost of buildings with short lifetimes and can reduce the safety level of buildings with large lifetimes. In this paper, a “service-life factor” has been defined. Applying this factor into the nominal values of live, earthquake, wind, and snow loads, the ef...
