Abstract: Midwifery malpractices occurring during intra-partum care are on the rise. Of all the cases reported to the South African Nursing Council (SANC) in 2013, 47% were midwifery-related and this percentage increased to more than 50% in 2014. The consequences of such misconduct are devastating to the affected women if they live, and to their families as well as the health system. Almost all investigated cases of misconduct would have been avoided if acceptable standards of care had been applied. Disciplinary measures imposed on midwives because of errors, include suspension from practice or being struck off the register or sent for retraining. The aim of this study was to explore..............

Abstract: Nursing leadership is a major factor in affecting nurses' behavior in hospital wards. As such, it should be considered in the efforts to improve patient safety. This study aims to identify different characteristics of the head nurse which enhance the level of patient safety by means of creating a patient safety climate. We examine the mediating role of three dimensions of patient safety climate (i.e. safety norms, team learning and safety-promoting communication) in the relationship between characteristics of the head nurse (i.e. safety leadership, staff's trust, and psychological empowerment) and patient safety levels in the ward (nurses' safe behavior and adverse events). 299 nurses from 26 units.............
