TL;DR
It is suggested that higher values of social capital are associated with better ratings in clinical risk management behavior and an established atmosphere of trust and a feeling of common values and convictions can help nurses integrate clinical riskmanagement into their daily work.
Abstract
The purpose of the study was to examine the relationship between social capital and clinical risk management in hospitals from nurses' perspective. The results of our investigation suggest that higher values of social capital are associated with better ratings in clinical risk management behavior. An established atmosphere of trust and a feeling of common values and convictions can help nurses integrate clinical risk management into their daily work.

The evidence so far is at least consistent with, but cannot yet prove, the hypothesis that a deficiency in social bonds is a cause of neurosis, which is providing a method for identifying those elements in social relationships which, when deficient, may be causally related to neurosis.
