Objectives: This study was performed to identify the association of safety climate and transformational leadership of head nurse with barrier to medication error reporting among nurses working at wards in a general hospital.
Methods: The subjects of this study were 227 nurses and data were collected by self-administered questionnaire composed of general- and work-related characteristics, experience of medication errors and scales of safety climate, transformational leadership of head nurse and barrier to medication error reporting. The used methods for statistical analysis were t-test, ANOVA, Pearson’s correlation analysis and multiple regression analysis.
Results: Of the subjects, 93.4% had experience of medication error within the past year, and 12.8% of nurses reported their medication error to the hospital. The safety climate and transformational leadership were statistically significant negatively correlated with barriers to medication error reporting. As a result of multiple regression analysis, the safety climate was significantly associated with barrier to medication error reporting, however not transformational leadership.
Conclusions: This study showed the barrier of medication error reporting was associated with safety climate of the hospital. Therefore, it might be important to create an atmosphere of safety climate of the hospital and to make programs or polices for decreasing the barrier to medication error reporting or prevention of medication error.
