Data were collected between January and May 2025 using standardised self\u2010report questionnaires measuring patient safety competency, safety attitudes, systems thinking and burnout. Statistical analyses included descriptive statistics, group comparisons, Pearson correlation analyses and linear mixed\u2010effects modelling, with hospital included as a random intercept.

The mean total patient safety competency score was 156.40 (SD 25.70). In the primary mixed\u2010effects model, nurses with no more than 5\u2009years of operating room experience had lower patient safety competency scores than those with more than 20\u2009years of experience (\n                      <jats:italic>B<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u2009\u221210.185, 95% CI \u221215.974 to \u22124.395;\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u20090.001).
