Psychological safety refers to the shared belief that a work team can face complex challenges when there is an environment of mutual respect and trust. Thus, healthcare professionals provide safer care when causes and ways to avoid clinical errors can be discussed and analyzed without fear of criticism or sanctions. A psychological safety climate can be a determinant of patient safety. In this way, this provides safer care when it is possible to discuss and analyze the causes and how to avoid clinical errors without fear of criticism or sanctions.
This study aims to explore the mentors' opinion on what psychological safety competencies are being acquired by future generations of healthcare professionals (students and residents, hereafter "trainees") through current training programs and what actions should be taken to promote such competencies in clinical settings.
Consensus study based on the Delphi technique. To develop the questionnaire 0 structured interviews will be conducted. This study step includes the development of a consultation instrument in questionnaire format to conduct the Delphi study. Only the legibility, face and content validity of the questionnaire will be assessed through interviews to ensure its correct completion by the participants.
One member of the research team for each participating country will act as national study coordinator in that country.
The study procedure will be structured in the following steps:
