Identification of Medical Errors Reporting Barriers from the Viewpoints of Operating Room Technologists in Educational and Therapeutic Centers Affiliated to Iran University of Medical Sciences

Missed nursing care (MNC) is considered an indicator of poorer care quality. While studies have previously examined factors that result in MNC activities and adverse events, the role of professional values in this context has not yet been explored. This study aimed to evaluate missed perioperative nursing care (MPNC) and its relationship with nurses’ perception of professional values. This cross-sectional study was carried out from June 2021 to July 2022 in public hospitals of East Azerbaijan province. Using stratified random sampling, 409 perioperative nurses were included in the study. Data were collected using a demographic questionnaire, an MPNC checklist, and the Nurses Professional Values Scale and were analysed using SPSS20 software. MPNC with a mean of 12.3 ± 5.7 was at a moderate level. The highest rate of MPNC was in the domain of communication (mean: 0.410). Nurses’ perception of professional values with a mean of 97.4 ± 13.4 was considered at a good level. Among the dimensions of professional values, with a mean of 4.159, it was seen that the dimension of caring was very important from the nurses’ viewpoint. Kendall Tau’s and Spearman’s correlation indices were used to investigate the relationship between two variables and obtained at -0.218 and -0.305, respectively. It was also shown that increasing the perception of professional values reduces the MPNC (P<0.001). It appears that by providing training programmes for the promotion and internalisation of professional values, such as self-esteem, pragmatism in care and justice among the nurses, the MNC could be reduced.
