Understanding ICU Nurses' Attitudes Toward Medical Errors and Error Reporting: A Cross-Sectional Study
The study findings indicate that although nurses generally have a good awareness of the importance of recognizing and reporting medical errors, more must be done. To prevent medical errors, we recommend prioritizing this topic in undergraduate education and training and in in-service workshops and improving the use of health care technologies. Policies that encourage error reporting without punishment, legal support for nurses, and the proactive engagement of nursing leadership are vital to fostering a culture of continuous improvement and patient safety.
