“…Two of the five selected studies used quantitative designs [48,49], two used qualitative designs [50,51], and one was a mixed-methods study [52]. In total, the review's sample and setting consisted of 1299 nurses and 137 residential long-term care settings ( Table 2).…”

“…The focus of two studies was on the process of disclosing and reporting practice errors [48,52], and three studies focused on perceptions and experiences of disclosing and reporting practice errors [49][50][51].

“…Nurses reported that disclosing and reporting practice errors could damage patients' trust in nurses' competencies and might lead to litigation [49]. Moreover, lack of understanding by some older people and their families of nurses' descriptions of practice errors and the use of jargon and medical terminologies were barriers to disclosing errors [49,52]. However, personalized discussions with and education of older people and their families, and use of appropriate and empathetic language without a defensive and blaming tone, facilitated reporting and disclosing practice errors [52].…”

“…Nurses' roles, their attitudes and knowledge of the significance and history of practice errors, and proclivity towards reporting were discussed. Nurses often had previous history of minor and major errors and near misses and believed in the need to report them [49][50][51][52]. Holding a Bachelor's degree plus previous history of disclosing and reporting serious practice errors were associated with error disclosure to both institutions' administrators and colleagues with the aim of improving patient safety [49,52].…”

Patient safety is crucial for the sustainability of the healthcare system. However, this may be jeopardized by the high prevalence of practice errors, particularly in residential long-term care. Development of improvement initiatives depends on full reporting and disclosure of practice errors. This systematic review aimed to understand factors that influence disclosing and reporting practice errors by nurses in residential long-term care settings. A systematic review using an integrative design was conducted. Electronic databases including PubMed (including Medline), Scopus, CINAHL, Embase, and Nordic and Spanish databases were searched using keywords relating to reporting and disclosing practice errors by nurses in residential long-term care facilities to retrieve articles published between 2010 and 2019. The search identified five articles, including a survey, a prospective cohort, one mixed-methods and two qualitative studies. The review findings were presented under the categories of the theoretical domains of Vincent’s framework for analyzing risk and safety in clinical practice: ‘patient’, ‘healthcare provider’, ‘task’, ‘work environment’, and ‘organisation & management’. The review findings highlighted the roles of older people and their families, nurses’ individual responsibilities, knowledge and collaboration, workplace atmosphere, and support by nurse leaders for reporting and disclosing practice errors, which had implications for improving the quality of healthcare services in residential long-term care settings.

Barriers to reporting clinical errors in operating theatres and intensive care units of a university hospital: a qualitative study

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Background Clinical errors are one of the challenges of health care in different countries, and obtaining accurate statistics regarding clinical errors in most countries is a difficult process which varies from one study to another. The current study was conducted to identify barriers to reporting clinical errors in the operating theatre and the intensive care unit of a university hospital. Methods This qualitative study was conducted in the operating theatre and intensive care unit of a university hospital. Data collection was conducted through semi-structured interviews with health care staff, senior doctors, and surgical assistants. Data analysis was carried out through listening to the recorded interviews and developing transcripts of the interviews. Meaning units were identified and codified based on the type of discussion. Then, codes which had a common concept were grouped under one category. Finally, the codes and designated categories were analysed, discussed and confirmed by a panel of four experts of qualitative content analysis, and the main existing problems were identified and derived. Results Barriers to reporting clinical errors were extracted in two themes: individual problems and organizational problems. Individual problems included 4 categories and 12 codes and organizational problems included 6 categories and 17 codes. The results showed that in the majority of cases, nurses expressed their desire to change the current prevailing attitudes in the workplace while doctors expected the officials to implement reform policies regarding clinical errors in university hospitals. Conclusion In order to alleviate the barriers to reporting clinical errors, both individual and organizational problems should be addressed and resolved. At an individual level, training nursing and medical teams on error recognition is recommended. In order to solve organizational problems, on the other hand, the process of reporting clinical errors should be improved as far as the nursing team is concerned, but when it comes to the medical team, addressing legal loopholes should be given full consideration.

Background: Clinical errors are one of the challenges of health care in countries; moreover, the obtaining of accurate statistics regarding clinical errors in most countries is a difficult process and varies from one study to another. The current study was conducted to identify impediments in the reporting of clinical errors in the operating theatre and the intensive care unit of a teaching hospital.Methods This study was conducted qualitatively in the operating theatre and intensive care sections of a training hospital. Data collection was conducted through semi-structured with medical care staff and senior doctors and surgical assistants. Data analysis was carried out through listening to recorded interviews and developing tape scripts of the interviews. The meaning units were identified and codified based on the type of discussion. Furthermore, codes which had a common concept were categorized in one group and by using the designated groups, the main problems were derived. Finally, the codes and designated groups were analyzed, discussed and confirmed by a panel of four experts in qualitative content, and the existing main problems were identified and categorized.Results: Barriers to reporting clinical errors were extracted in two themes: individual and organizational problems. Individual problems included 4 categories and 12 codes and organizational problems included 6 categories and 17 codes. The results showed that in the majority of cases, nurses indicated their desire to change current prevailing attitudes in the workplace while doctors expected reform policies dealing with clinical errors in teaching hospitals to be implemented at higher levels by officials. Conclusion: in order to alleviate Barriers to reporting clinical errors, individual problems and organizational problems should be resolved. To reduce individual problems, it is recommended to train the nursing and medical team in the field of error recognition. In order to solve organizational problems in the nursing team, improve the process of reporting clinical errors and in the medical team, rectifying of legal loopholes should be considered.
