“…Additionally, over 70% of the sample reported accessibility to learning from the errors of others, indicating the presence of effective leadership. Age and acquiring knowledge through continuing education were identified as predictors of positive attitude scores, aligning with previous studies that emphasized the importance of ongoing education in shaping positive attitudes towards PS [ 22 – 24 ].…”

Objective To assess knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAPs) toward patient safety among nurses working at primary and comprehensive health care centers in Jordan; to identify factors that predict KAPs among nurses. Methods A descriptive cross-sectional design was conducted using a convenience sample of 307 primary health care nurses in Jordan. A self-reported questionnaire (KAPs) toward patient safety was distributed to the nurses between August 2022 and October 2022. Results The results revealed that the mean score of knowledge was 9.51 out of 11 (SD = 1.35), the mean score of attitudes was 57.66 out of 75 (SD = 9.17), and the mean score of practices was 5.64 out of 8 (SD = 1.72). Where 59% of participants reported good knowledge about patient safety. 61% of participants reported positive attitudes toward patient safety. A significant regression equation was found (R² = 0.073, F= (2.94), p = 0 0.003). Age and having information on patient safety during continuing education were significant predictors of the attitude score (p ≤ 0.05). Conclusion It is necessary to implement patient safety education programs and training.

Purpose This study aimed to investigate the medication administration error perceptions among Jordanian critical care nurses. Methods A cross-sectional, descriptive design was used among Jordanian critical care nurses. The total number of completed questionnaires submitted for analysis was 340. Data were collected between July and August 2022 in two health sectors (governmental hospitals and educational hospital) in the middle and north region in Jordan through a self-administered questionnaire on medication administration errors which includes 65 items with three parts. Results Nurses showed negative perceptions toward medication administration errors. The majority of participants agreed that “The packaging of many medications is similar” (76.7%), followed by “different medications look alike” (76.2%), as the main reasons for medication error occurrence. Two thirds of participants agreed that “when med errors occur, nursing administration focuses on the individual rather than looking at the systems as a potential cause of the error” (74.1%). Similarly, 73.5% of them believed nurses were blamed if something happens to the patient as a result of the medication error was the main reason for underreporting of MAEs. The highest reported levels of medication errors were in a range between 41% and 70%, for both types intravenous (IV) medication errors and non-intravenous (non-IV) medication errors. Conclusion Implement interventions centered on MAEs in particular among critical care nurses, owing to the proven significance of it in foretelling their crucial role in delivering safe care to patients, which will lead to quantifiable returns on both patient outcomes and nurse health, as well as the overall efficiency and image of the organization.

“…The participants feared being blamed mostly by junior staff (46.5%). These studies also ascertain that blamed is a major barrier [ 45 , 46 ], the current results could be because human beings generally do not prefer to be punished by their supervisors and managers and do not want to be fired or have their careers derailed. Few participants strongly agree that they will not get feedback of report something (11.6%), this result was agreed with recent study [ 47 ].…”

Background Adequate incident reporting practices for clinical incident among nurses and even all healthcare providers in clinical practice settings is crucial to enhance patient safety and improve the quality of care delivery. This study aimed to investigate the level of awareness of incident reporting practices and identify the barriers that impact incident reporting among Jordanian nurses. Methods A descriptive design using a cross-sectional survey was employed among 308 nurses in 15 different hospitals in Jordan. Data collection was conducted between November 2019 and July 2020 using an Incident Reporting Scale. Results The participants showed a high level of awareness of the incident reporting with a mean score of 7.3 (SD = 2.5), representing 94.8% of the highest score. Nurses perceived their reporting practices at the medium level, with a mean score of 2.23 out of 4. The main reporting barriers included worrying about disciplinary actions, fearing being blamed, and forgetting to make a report. In regard to awareness of incident reporting, there were statistically significant differences in the mean for total awareness of the incident reporting system scores according to the type of hospital (p < .005*). In regard to self-perceived reporting practices, nurses working in accredited hospitals demonstrated statistically significant differences in self-perceived reporting practices (t = 0.62, p < .005). Conclusions The current results provide empirical results about perceived incident reporting practices and perceived barriers to reporting frequently. Recommendations are made to urge nursing policymakers and legislators to provide solutions for those barriers, such as managing staffing issues, nursing shortage, nurses’ empowerment, and fear of disciplinary actions by front-line nurse managers.
