ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study was to identify the factors that influence nurses’ intentions to report medication errors and, more specifically, to investigate the relationship between nurses’ intentions to report medication errors, the organizational culture in nursing, and nurses’ communication styles. The participants were 117 nurses from six hospitals in South Korea. The data were analysed with a t-test, ANOVA, conducted correlation, and a regression analysis using SPSS version 19.0. The factors affecting nurses’ intention to report medication errors were nurses’ horizontal communication styles and the business-oriented organizational culture. Additionally, nurses’ intentions to report medication errors were significantly correlated with business-oriented culture, and horizontal communication. Based on the results of this study, the formation of a positive organizational culture is important in order to increase the number of nurses who are willing to report medication errors.
