Reporting a near-miss event has been associated with better patient safety culture.
To examine the relationship between patient safety culture and nurses' intention to report a near-miss event during COVID-19, and factors predicting that intention.
This mixed-methods study was conducted in a tertiary medical center during the fourth COVID-19 waves in 2020-2021 among 199 nurses working in COVID-19-dedicated departments.
Mean perception of patient safety culture was low overall. Although 77.4% of nurses intended to report a near-miss event, only 20.1% actually did. Five factors predicted nurses' intention to report a near-miss event; the model explains 20% of the variance. Poor departmental organization can adversely affect the intention to report a near-miss event.
Organizational learning, teamwork between hospital departments, transfers between departments, and departmental disorganization can affect intention to report a near-miss event and adversely affect patient safety culture during a health crisis.
报告临近差错事件与更好的患者安全文化有关。
检验 COVID-19 期间护士报告临近差错事件的意图与患者安全文化之间的关系,以及预测该意图的因素。
这项混合方法研究于 2020-2021 年在一家三级医疗中心进行,涉及在 COVID-19 专用病房工作的 199 名护士,当时处于 COVID-19 第四波疫情期间。
总体而言,对患者安全文化的感知程度较低。尽管 77.4%的护士打算报告临近差错事件,但实际上只有 20.1%的护士这样做。有五个因素预测了护士报告临近差错事件的意图;该模型解释了 20%的方差。部门组织不良会对报告临近差错事件的意愿产生不利影响。
在卫生危机期间,组织学习、医院部门之间的团队合作、部门间的转科以及部门的混乱会影响报告临近差错事件的意愿,并对患者安全文化产生不利影响。
