|
The purpose of this study was to identify the factors that influence nurses’ intentions to report medica-tion errors and, more specifically, to investigate the relationship between nurses’ intentions to report med-ication errors, the organizational culture in nursing, and nurses’ communication styles. The participants were 117 nurses from six hospitals in South Korea. The data were analysed with a t-test, ANOVA, con-ducted correlation, and a regression analysis using SPSS version 19.0. The factors affecting nurses’ inten-tion to report medication errors were nurses’ horizontal communication styles and the business-oriented organizational culture. Additionally, nurses’ intentions to report medication errors were significantly cor-related with business-oriented culture, and horizontal communication. Based on the results of this study, the formation of a positive organizational culture is important in order to increase the number of nurses who are willing to report medication errors.
