Description
Nicola Cogan and colleagues validated a psychological safety scale in the United Kingdom in 2024. The scale measures how safe people feel in body and mind. It rests on a theory of threat sensing below awareness. Health and social care workers face high pressure. Traumatic stress can raise their sense of threat. That strain can erode rest, recovery, and connection. Over four hundred workers completed the scale for testing. The team checked consistency, stability, and links to other measures.
A three-part structure held up in the data. The parts cover compassion, social engagement, and body sensations. Consistency ranged from acceptable to excellent. Scores stayed stable on retest over time. Scores lined up with team safety and well-being measures. They linked to stress, burnout, and personality measures as expected. The authors call the scale a multi-part tool. Services can use it to target support for strained staff.
