Description
The barriers that affect the (non)reporting of medication errors by nurses in the Surgical Clinics at QKUK are critical factors that can hinder or influence the process of identifying and reporting medication errors by the nursing staff. These barriers are essential to understanding how patient safety and healthcare practices in this specific context can be improved.
Aim: The main aim of this study is to identify and describe the key barriers that affect the (non)reporting of medication errors by nurses in surgical clinics and to provide recommendations for improving these practices.
Methodology: The study was conducted through a questionnaire at the Surgical Clinics at QKUK. Various data collection methods, literature review, and a questionnaire with nurses were used to achieve the study's objective. The data were analyzed using the SPSS software.
Results: The study has identified a wide range of barriers that influence the (non)reporting of medication errors by nurses in surgical clinics. These barriers include fear of legal consequences, lack of time for reporting, communication interruptions, and the absence of a clear reporting system. The study highlights the importance of identifying and addressing barriers that affect the (non)reporting of medication errors by nurses in surgical clinics. The results of this study can be used to develop strategies and policies that encourage reporting of errors and improve patient safety in this critical healthcare context.
