Purpose:
This study aimed to identify which aspects of incident reporting culture predict the willingness of nurses to report errors.
Design/Methodology/Approach:
In this cross-sectional study (2021), a census sampling method was used to recruit 251 nurses with at least one year of experience in general wards across three hospitals in Northern Iran. Data were collected via a self-report questionnaire and analyzed using both descriptive and inferential statistics.
Findings:
Two dimensions of incident reporting culture- "learning from errors" (ß = 0.234, 95% CI: 0.088 to 0.380) and "error management" (ß = 0.029, 95% CI: 0.013 to 0.235)-significantly predicted nurses' willingness to report errors.
Originality/Value:
This study is among the first to identify specific dimensions of incident reporting culture that could enhance nurses' motivation to report errors.
