In this situation, obedience...

Area of Science:

  • Nursing
  • Healthcare
  • Patient Safety

Context:

  • Effective risk management in healthcare necessitates understanding nurses' perspectives on errors and reporting.
  • Whistleblowing, reporting significant issues outside established channels, is a critical aspect of error management.

Purpose:

  • To explore nurses' perceptions and willingness to engage in whistleblowing.
  • To identify barriers and facilitators influencing nurses' whistleblowing behaviors.

Summary:

  • Most nurses interviewed disapproved of whistleblowing, citing allegiance to colleagues and personal risks.
  • Hesitant approval was linked to concerns about organizational loyalty and patient responsibility.

Impact:

  • Findings highlight the need to encourage nurses' professional responsibility and develop supportive organizational error reporting systems.
  • Reframing whistleblowing as patient advocacy is crucial for improving healthcare safety.
