Introduction: Performing a physical examination of a patient is one of the basic clinical competencies in nursing practice. It forms the basis for preparing nursing students for practice. Obtaining subjective and objective data through physical assessment enables nurses to make a diagnosis of the clinical condition of patients. The physical examination is primarily aimed at assessing the condition of the patient, so that an accurate nursing diagnosis can be made and appropriate measures can be taken to correct the problems that accompany the patients. The ability to conduct a physical examination enables better cooperation with other members of the therapeutic team. It is also believed that the ability of nurses to conduct a physical examination significantly enhances the competence of nurses. The aim of this paper was to assess the usefulness of physical examination in daily professional practice according to nursing staff. Material and methods: The study was conducted in a group of 186 nurses employed at a hospital in Podkarpackie voivodeship in Poland. The study was conducted in May 2023. The study used a diagnostic survey method with the use of a proprietary survey questionnaire. Participation in the study was random, anonymous, and voluntary. Results and conclusions: 35.9% of the nurses surveyed claimed they did not perform physical examinations very often. In contrast, 24.3% of the respondents said they performed them very often. 16.5% of respondents said they performed them several times a day. The majority of respondents believed that they were the right people to perform physical examinations. According to the respondents, physical examination is an important part of a nurse's work and has a great impact on patient treatment. Too infrequent performance of physical examinations among nurses is due to work overload and additional duties, as well as lack of confidence.

Objectives This study was conducted to explore the relationship between the nursing work environment and medical error reporting practices among Jordanian nurses. Methods This study was a cross-sectional survey of 334 participants who were conveniently selected from three types of hospitals (private, teaching and public) in Amman city, Jordan. The data were collected using a standardized questionnaire which was adopted from previous studies and consisted of three main sections including demographics, nursing work environment (The Practice Environment Scale-Nursing Work Index) and medical error reporting practices (incident reporting practice scale). SPSS version 26 was used for data analysis. Key findings The study findings detected a strong positive relationship between the nursing work environment and medical error reporting practices. ‘Nurse’s participation in hospital affairs’ showed the highest impact on medical error reporting practices among nurses. Based on the regression model, the nursing work environment explained 65.1% of variations in nurses’ medical error reporting practices. It was found that medical error reporting practices were statistically different across marital status and hospital type. Conclusions Based on data analysis findings, the nursing work environment was statistically strongly correlated to medical error reporting practices. To improve medical error reporting practices among nurses, decision-makers and hospital administrators should redesign their nursing work environment to create a more positive and favourable work environment.
