| Five aspects of medication culture practice | ||||||
| Nurses actions demonstrated good practice | Medication safely delivered | Medication administered according to policy | Average nurse would behave similarly | Own actions would mirror actions portrayed in vignette | ||

Results are presented as the mean difference (95% CI) of scores when the contextual factor was present compared with when it was absent. A positive difference denotes agreement with the statement when the factor was present.
