Materials and Methods:A cross-sectional study was done in 2018, in this study300 nurses from 9 teaching hospitals located in South Khorasan province were selected through convenience sampling. Data were collected using the HSOPSC Hospital Safety Culture Questionnaire, Ushiro Nurse's Contribution, and Ratus Determinism. Finally, using SPSS-22 software, Pearson correlation and And analysis of the Amos route. Results: The results of the study showed that the mean and standard deviation of the safety culture score was 123.40 ± 14.26, the Assertiveness was equal to 1.99 ± 14.82 and the mean value collaboration was 81.5 ± 17.96. On the other hand, the results of Amos analysis showed that the cooperation of the physicians and nurse directly and Assertiveness indirectly affects the culture of safety.
