Abstract
|
|
|
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to describe nurses' experiences of patient safety incidents.
Methods: Data were collected from June 1 to August 31, 2019 through in-depth interviews with 10 nurses who worked in tertiary hospitals. Data were analyzed using Braun & Clarke’s thematic analysis method.
Results: Four themes and eighteen sub-themes emerged as follows. ‘Falls resulted in fatal consequences, the importance of precaution education’, ‘Errors occurred due to incompliance to verification protocol’, ‘Responsibility for catching other people's errors’, ‘Hospital environment from the viewpoint of patient safety’.
Conclusion: The findings provided valuable information on the nurses’ experiences of patient safety incidents, which may have serious consequences and are not easily addressed. Programs to prevent patient safety incidents and systems to guard against these incidents should be established. Organizational safety culture also needs to be improved.
