This study investigated the relationship between nursing practice environments (NPEs) and safety perceptions with patient safety culture (PSC) during COVID-19 in Peru. A quantitative, non-experimental, correlational, cross-sectional study surveyed 211 nurses using the PES-NWI and HSOPSC scales. Results showed that NPE was favorable for 45.5% and PSC was neutral for 61.1%. Safety perception, workplace, and NPE predicted PSC. All NPE factors correlated with PSC, but safety perception, nurse manager support, and leadership were key PSC predictors. Health institutions should foster safety-focused leadership, strengthen manager abilities, and encourage collaboration for improved safety culture.
