Design A cross-sectional, descriptive study was conducted using self-report questionnaires. An 18-item barriers to MAEs reporting questionnaire with 6- point Likert-type scale (1=strongly disagree, to 6=strongly agree) was used for this study. Setting Three nursing schools at Arak University of Medical Sciences in Iran. Subjects Two hundred and forty nursing students were invited through census method. Main outcome measure Nursing students' perceived barriers to MAE reporting. Results Nursing students estimated 80.12% of all medication errors by nursing students are reported to their instructors. Administrative barrier (standardised mean=4.31) and fear (standardised mean=4.24) were the top two reasons for not reporting medication errors among nursing students. Conclusions Findings from this study suggest MAE occurrences among nursing students are often underreported. Nursing student's instructors must demonstrate positive responses to nursing students for reporting medication errors to improve patient safety. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
