Psychological safety and primary care physicians’ well-being, work conditions and guideline adherence behavior: a cross-sectional study in China
This study in China confirms that a psychologically safe work environment in primary care is positively associated with improved PCPs' well-being, enhanced professional commitment, and better adherence to clinical guidelines and preventive care provision. Given that psychological safety may be embedded in national culture, further studies should develop context-based, culturally and organizationally appropriate interventions.
