The Safety Climate Scale, Korean Practice Environment Scale the Nursing Work Index, and Barriers to Medication Administration Error Reporting Questionnaire were adapted to collect information pertaining to climate safety, work environment, and barriers in reporting medication administration errors. For data analysis, descriptive statistics, one-way ANOVA, Pearson``s correlation coefficient, and multiple regression analysis were used.
Results: The climate safety score was significantly different depending on age, education level, and number of beds in the working hospital. The perception of the work environment was significantly different depending on age and number of beds in the working hospital. The barriers in reporting medication administration errors were significantly different depending on education, department, and number of beds in the working hospital. Climate safety and work environment were negatively associated with barriers in reporting medication administration errors. Key factors that influencing reporting on medication administration errors were blame and worker safety and education were entered in the second set and they accounted for 35.3% of the variance.
