Introduction
Assuring the well-being of their patients is a top concern for healthcare providers across the globe. Due in large part to important investigations like To E
is Human and The Canadian Adverse Event Study, patient safety has garnered substantial attention. Efforts have been made to reduce the hazards to which patients are exposed in healthcare settings (Boamah,2018). The occu
ence of adverse events in hospitals is still high despite significant budget allocation and efforts to enhance patient safety in healthcare institutions. According to researchers, identical developments have also been seen in the United States. Some European studies have shown that some negative outcome accompanies 10 and 70 per cent of all hospitalisations (Mallette & Rykert,2018). Even in industrialised nations, the monetary toll of disasters is heavy. In 2009-2010, for instance, Canada's healthcare system lost $1.1 billion due to adverse occu
ences. Unwanted injuries or complications by medical staff that result in patient harm, extended hospitalisation, disability, or death are known as adverse patient outcomes or occu
ences (Boamah et al,2019). According to a recent estimate, approximately 30,000 or one in every 18 hospitalised patients in Canada in 2014–2015, underwent avoidable injuries that jeopardised their treatment. Although studies have connected effective nurse leadership to improved patient outcomes, few empirical studies have looked at the impact of transformational leadership on improved patient outcomes. Additionally, the few studies that have been done so far have not explained the processes through which leadership affects these outcomes (Stanley & Stanley,2018). This research aimed to see whether there was any co
elation between clinical leadership by staff nurses and the frequency of negative patient outcomes when transformational leadership was present and when it was not.

Post 1: The Role of Transformational Leadership
A mutually motivating interaction between a leader and a follower, which produces a sense of mutual stimulation and elevation, transforms followers into leaders and turns leaders into moral actors, is known as transformational leadership. The four parts of transformational leadership theory are as follows (Lavoie‐Tremblay et al,2016). To gain their followers' trust, transformational leaders uphold strict moral and ethical guidelines, clearly articulate the organization's vision using words, symbols, and imagery, and encourage participation from staff members by presenting multiple perspectives on issues and asking for feedback before making important decisions.
Transformational leader makes use of all of these characteristics to inspire their people to go above and beyond what they initially set out to achieve (Seljemo, Viksveen & Ree,2020).
One of the most common ways of thinking about what makes people and organisations successful is through the lens of transformational leadership. There is a large amount of literature that looks at how transformational leadership influences the performance of subordinates.
Among Canadian nurses, for example, (Boamah et al,2019) found distinguishable co
elations between leadership styles that prioritised relationships and...
