Abstract

|
|
Purpose: The aims of this study were to identify and understand meaning and nature of nurses’ experiences of failing to report patient safety incidents working in long-term care hospitals.
Methods: The participants in the study were 7 females and 1 male who were nurses working at long-term care hospitals located in P and G city and had experience of failing to report patient safety incidents. Data were collected from March to December in 2020. Individual in-depth interviews were conducted with the research participants. The data were analyzed by phenomenological method suggested by Colaizzi.
Results: Thirteen thematic collections were derived, and these were further integrated into five categories with more abstract and comprehensive meanings. The five categories were ‘a culture of passive response to patient safety’, ‘burden of reporting patient safety incidents’, ‘different values regarding elderly care’, ‘lack of awareness about patient safety incidents reporting’ and ‘lack of patient safety management system’
Conclusion: The results of this study can be used as meaningful data for developing safety management strategies that can improve patient safety culture and incidents reporting rate in long-term care hospitals by understanding nurses’ experience of failing to report patient safety incidents in long-term care hospital.
