ResumoBackground While just culture is embraced in the clinical setting, just culture has not been systematically incorporated into nursing education. Purpose The purpose of this study was to assess prelicensure nursing student perceptions of just culture in academia. Methods Following a quantitative, descriptive design, the Just Culture Assessment Tool for Nursing Education (JCAT-NE) was used to measure just culture across multiple (N = 15) nursing programs. Results The majority of JCAT-NE respondents (78%) reported their program has a safety reporting system, 15.4% had involvement in a safety-related event, and 12% submitted an error report. The JCAT-NE mean total score was 127.4 (SD, 23.6), with a statistically significant total score decline as students progressed from the beginning (133.6 [SD, 20.52]) to the middle (129.77 [SD, 23.6]) and end (122.2 [SD, 25.43]) of their programs ( χ 2 [2] = 25.09, P < .001). Conclusions The results from this study are a call to action for nursing education to emphasize the tenets of just culture, error reporting, and quality improvement.
