Barriers to reporting adverse events from theperspective of ICU nurses: A mixed-method study

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Introduction: Nurses represent the largest group of healthcare professionals and are responsiblefor improving patient safety, including reporting adverse events. However, adverse events areunderreported due to the many barriers that compromise patient safety in the hospital setting.Aim: The study aimed to investigate the barriers to reporting adverse events as perceived bynurses working in intensive care units (ICUs).Methods: The exploratory sequential mixed-method study design was used. Data were collectedbetween January 2022 and March 2023 in intensive care units of one selected university hospitalin the Slovak Republic. The quantitative phase was carried out using a specific instrumentto explore barriers to reporting adverse events and included 111 nurses from the ICU. Thequalitative phase was conducted using semi-structured face-to-face interviews and consistedof 10 nurses from the ICU.Results: In terms of quantitative aspect, fear of liability, lawsuits, or sanctions was the mostsignificant barrier to reporting adverse events among ICU nurses. As a result of qualitativethematic analysis, four significant barriers to reporting adverse events were identified: nega-tive attitude toward reporting adverse events; lack of knowledge and experience in reportingadverse events; time scarcity; fear.Conclusion: Based on the results of the study, it is evident that only effective and regularreporting of adverse events leads to the minimization of adverse events. To improve patientsafety in hospitals, education and management practices must be implemented to overcomebarriers to reporting adverse events. The most important approach to overcoming barriers toreporting adverse events is to implement a culture of no blame and a positive culture of patientsafety.
