This study increased understanding of cross-cultural differences in nurse burnout and the relationship with patient safety. Australian nurses were at greater risk of burnout than Chinese nurses. Emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and personal accomplishment influenced patient safety distinctively across the countries. These findings inform interventions designed to reduce nurse burnout and improve patient safety internationally.
