“…Nurses’ low willingness of reporting medication administration errors and incidents has been disclosed in other studies (Hong & Li, ; Jember, Hailu, Messele, Demeke, & Hassen, ; Lee, Yang, & Chen, ). Hong and Li () indicated that 58% of Chinese nurses failed to report adverse events and the low reporting voluntariness was a critical determinant to this reporting failure. Studies noticed that nurses’ unwillingness of reporting was affected by their negative perceptions of cost‐benefit evaluation with reporting systems and experiences of making errors (Jember et al, ; Lee et al, ).…”

“…It is possible that reporting barriers weaken the nurses' VIR. Nurses' low willingness of reporting medication administration errors and incidents has been disclosed in other studies(Hong & Li, 2017; Jember, Hailu, Messele, Demeke, & Hassen, 2018; Lee, Yang, & Chen, 2016).

“…However, the issue of nurses’ reporting voluntariness has been noticed because of the underreporting of the medical errors in the world (Scott & Henneman, ). Studies showed that 50%–96% of adverse events were not reported (Barach & Small, ; Hong & Li, ; Pham et al, ) and 47% of nurses failed to report medication errors in Taiwan (Chiang, Lin, Hsu, & Ma, ). The underlying causes and mechanisms for not reporting are complex combining systematic, managerial and individual factors that can weaken nurses’ intentions and their voluntariness to report (Archer et al, ; Richter, McAlearney, & Pennell, ; Soydemir, Intepeler, & Mert, ).…”

Purpose This study aimed to (a) test the hypothesized model for hospital nurses’ voluntariness of incident reporting (VIR) and (b) determine the extent to which reporting culture factors, nursing safety practices and perceptions of work predict VIR. Design and Methods A cross‐sectional survey was applied to 1,380 frontline nurses recruited from six teaching hospitals in Taiwan. Data were collected using self‐administered questionnaires. Correlation analyses and path analyses using structured equation modelling were used. Findings More than half of the nurses did not display a voluntary attitude towards reporting. VIR was correlated with factors of reporting culture, nursing safety practices and perceptions of work. Through path analyses, the safety practices mediated on the relationship between the reporting culture and VIR. Conclusions Nurses still have modest willingness of reporting. The factors of reporting culture and nursing safety practices are critical determinants of VIR. Within more behavioural involvement in the safety practices, the reporting culture can support nurses to report voluntarily. Implications for Nursing Management Strengthening nurses’ engagement in safety practices can advance the reporting voluntariness and agreement with reporting culture concurrently. Nurse leaders should continue to optimize workload management and job satisfaction, which is advantageous to the safety practices enacted.

“…The efficiency scores are calculated according to input and output indicators of each unit. The inclusion principles of input and output variables were as follows: (a) Since China is a developing country, the efficiency studies of health systems mainly focus on quantifiable medical services; (b) the distribution of gynecological and obstetric health care resources in China is not equal, with the largest problem encountered in the backward province of Shanxi, where meeting the high number of medical services required by patients is causing considerable challenges; and (c) although the China Hospital Association (CHA) encourages nurses to report adverse events, under‐reporting is still a significant issue . Biased interpretations lead to inaccurate descriptions of patient safety; therefore, there is a need to avoid selecting patient safety indicators, such as mortality rates, infection rates, and other indicators, that the report rates, as they are not accurate, especially in a backward province.…”

In China, health care resources for expectant mothers and children are still not utilized to full efficiency, with health requirements still not being met. The purpose of this study is to critically examine the efficiency of gynecology and obstetrics hospital (OB/GYN) units in Shanxi province of China, with the overarching objective of exploring methods for improving their efficiency. We employ the three-stage data envelopment analysis (DEA) model to measure the efficiency of 134 OB/GYN units in Shanxi. The results show that the technical efficiency and scale efficiency scores of the sample units were low (0.48 and 0.54, respectively). The efficiency of the OB/GYN units varies by region, city, and county and by type of unit. We conclude that the main reason for the low efficiency of OB/GYN units in Shanxi province lies in the unreasonable scale. The government should, therefore, allocate health resources more reasonably, improving the efficiency of different regions, cities, and counties, as well as different types of OB/GYN units.

“…Building such a culture requires effective leadership from senior nurses (Kuseumawati, Handiyani, & Rachmi, 2019). A Chinese study (cross‐sectional survey) investigated nurses’ underreporting of safety incidents and found that senior nurses’ attitude and behaviour affected junior nurses’ perception of patients’ safety culture (Hong & Li, 2017). Senior nurses are considered leaders and execute roles such as supervising care provided by bedside nurses, liaising with the multidisciplinary team to coordinate the daily management of a ward or clinical setting (Spooner, Chaboyer, & Aitken, 2019).…”

Senior nurses’ perceptions of junior nurses’ incident reporting: A qualitative study

Aim To develop an understanding of senior nurses’ ranking and perceptions of incident reporting by junior nurses. Background Nurses must be encouraged to report incidents to nursing management. It is important to ascertain how senior nurses perceive their concerns, as it is crucial to ensuring that patient safety is managed. Method Qualitative study. Four focus groups explored senior nurses’ perceptions of risks identified by nurses from a live incident reporting database. Data were analysed using framework analysis. Results Five themes emerged demonstrating the differences in opinions in relation to the classification of events by senior and non‐senior nurses. Senior nurses held the view that some junior nurses use incident reporting to ‘vent frustration.’ Conclusion There is a mismatch between senior nurses’ and junior nurses’ perceptions of safety incidents. Nurses need to develop the writing style and use language that red flags incidents when reporting incidents. Senior nurses need to create a positive culture where risk from incident reporting is used to improve patient safety and subsequently a positive work environment. Implications for Nursing Management Our research identified the need for joint training to promote a shared understanding among nurses as to how incident report should be completed to promote patient safety.

Abstract: The knowledge of adverse event reporting should be integrated into the patient safety curriculum. Interventions that target a specific domain are necessary to improve the safety culture.
