Objective: To identify the factors associated with the omission of nursing care and patient safety climate.
Method: A cross-sectional study developed at a university hospital in the Brazilian Center-West, between September and December 2022. The MISSCARE-Brazil and the Safety Attitudes Questionnaire were applied to a convenience sample of 164 nursing professionals.
Results: The most omitted care was walking three times a day or as prescribed (66.5%). The overall score of the Safety Attitudes Questionnaire was 63,8 (SD: 12,6). The level of satisfaction (p<0.018) and the perception of professional adequacy (p<0.018) were associated with the omission of nursing care and the patient safety climate.
Conclusion: The study showed a high prevalence of omission of care and unfavorable perception of the patient safety climate, mainly associated with professional adequacy for work performance.
