NCT ID NCT06835517
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study explores how to shift attitudes about clinical errors among healthcare workers, managers, and community leaders. Researchers will use surveys and group discussions to understand current views, then test two behavioral interventions designed to promote a 'Just Culture' where honest mistakes are seen as learning opportunities. The goal is to create a practical guide for implementing this approach in hospitals and clinics.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Behavioral interventions (dissonance and reasoned action exercises)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to a guide that helps healthcare organizations adopt a 'Just Culture' where honest errors are seen as learning opportunities rather than reasons for blame.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage study focused on changing attitudes, not on direct patient outcomes. The interventions may not translate into lasting cultural change across different healthcare settings.
