I would like to focus on one correlation problem: if nurse-driven practices directly correlate to workplace safety. Rather, authority in nursing is becoming extensively explored as a variable positively impacting workplace safety. Educating nurses on managing non-healing diabetic wounds is a proactive practice that has been found to reduce infection rates in the outpatient setting. The correlation between educated nurses and workplace safety was assessed by gathering information from three previous studies (Mutshatshi et al., 2018). In the first study, nursing directors were significantly more likely to implement nurse-driven practices if they knew the correlation between strong leadership and workplace safety. For example, directors with solid leadership skills were significantly more likely to be aware of how to assess their nursing staff’s in-house safety practices. My null hypothesis for my research problem would be that nurse-driven practices do not impact workplace safety. My null hypothesis for my research problem would be that being aware of the correlation between authority and workplace safety does not affect the practice of nurse-driven practices. My alternate hypothesis for my research problem would be a significant link between authority and workplace safety. A possible reason behind this is that leadership skills have been found to directly correlate with infection rates in healthcare settings due to inadequate employee supervision leading to a lack of prevention measures. I predicted that good leaders would know how to implement a nurse-driven practice in their unit, but I believe it is possible that the effect may not have been successful.

The dependent variable in this research problem would be the connection between authority and nurse-driven practices under workplace safety. The independent variable in this research problem would be the correlation between health care workers being aware of the connection between nurse-driven practices and workplace safety. I think that a possible explanation for a positive correlation between authority and knowledge of nurse-driven practices is because health care workers with solid leadership skills understand the importance of having their employees well trained to prevent workplace injuries. For example, it has been proven that managers who are ready to receive training have been found to have fewer workplace injuries than other managers who don’t know how to avoid such injuries (Mutshatshi et al., 2018).

A study found that there is a positive correlation between health care workers being aware of the connection between nurse-driven practices and workplace safety. This study found that employees who are aware of how to assess their health care workers’ in-house safety practices and are ready to receive training on their initiative have been found to have a significantly lower workplace injury rate than those who are not aware of their health care worker’s in-house safety practices. The study demonstrated that having a good knowledge of the link between nurse-driven practices and workplace safety will reduce workplace injuries or the need for medical treatment among health care workers. The findings also revealed no significant correlation between supervisors and health care workers’ increasing injury rates (Mutshatshi et al., 2018). Overall, there is a substantial connection between being aware of the relationship between nurse-driven practices and workplace safety.
