Effect of Practice Environment on Nurse Reported Quality and Patient Safety: The Mediation Role of Person-Centeredness

Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

Mu'taman investigated the effect of practice environment on nurse reported quality and patient safety in Malaysia. The topic is important and interesting as numerous studies reported that the quality of patient care provided by nurses is significantly associated with patient outcome. My major concern is both quality of care and patient safety are determined based on nurses’ judgement in this study. However, as we know, medical staffs are not always willing to report patient harm or hospital-acquired conditions. I think this compromised this study. Additionally, this study should be reviewed by a statistician as well.

Reviewer 2 Report

I would like to congratulate the authors for their interest in researching in this field, however, the work presented presents some deficiencies.

a) Abstract does not provide information for each part of the work, so it would not comply with the fundamental information of a research summary.

More specifically, while you adequately describe the data acquisition process, you should briefly explain the methodology used to process the study data.

b) Authors adequately define the data acquisition process, although they do not describe in detail the survey used.

This point is important to verify the adequate development of the research.

I suggest that the authors include the description in Chapter 2.

 

c) The research focuses the study population on a restricted geographic area. Are the results extrapolable to other regions? This point should be explicitly stated in the article to clarify the scope of the results obtained and their concrete applicability.

 

I hope that these changes will help to improve your article and make it a document of great scientific interest.
