Abstract

The quality of care and treatment can be impacted by a number of factors, including the rate of missed care. The present study was conducted with the aim to evaluate missed nursing care (MNC) and its association with patient safety culture in the emergency department (ED). Until September 2024, the international databases MEDLINE (PubMed and Ovid), Embase and Cochrane, Scopus, Wiley Online Library, Web of Science, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, EBSCO, ISI, Elsevier, and Google Scholar were searched using the search terms including patient safety culture and MNC. A total of eight articles were reviewed. In the fixed‑effect model with low heterogeneity (I 2 = 0%, P = 1), the mean score of overall MNC was 2.07 (ES, 2.97; 95% confidence interval: 2.21–6.35). According to meta‑regression analyses, MNC significantly inversely correlated with patient safety culture, age, and work experience (P < 0.01). By improving the working conditions of ED nurses and providing training related to patient safety, the amount of lost nursing care will decrease. © 2025 Journal of Integrative Nursing.
