ABSTRACT

Purpose: This study aimed to identify factors influencing the intention to report patient safety incidents. Methods: Data were collected from 256 nurses who worked and provided direct nursing care at a university hospital in Y City through an online survey conducted from July 17 to August 6, 2023. The survey included a self-reported questionnaire comprising measurement tools for general and patient safety incident-related characteristics, patient safety culture perception, patient safety competence, ethical nursing competence, and intention to report patient safety incidents. The data were analyzed using SPSS 29.0. Results: Multiple regression analysis revealed that greater total clinical experience (β=.26, p=.004) and higher patient safety competence (β=.29, p=.013) were associated with a higher intention to report near misses (adj. R2=.240, F=6.97, p<.001). Additionally, higher patient safety competence (β=.35, p<.001) was associated with a higher intention to report adverse events (adj. R2=.127, F=8.42, p<.001). Conclusion: Enhancing patient safety competency is essential to improve nurses' intentions to voluntarily report patient safety incidents. Particularly, strategies are needed to encourage non-experienced nurses to report near misses voluntarily.
