Abstract

The purpose of the present study is to examine related factors influencing medical safety learning of nurses who have experienced medical incidents and accidents. An anonymous-based, self-completed questionnaire survey was conducted among nurses working in general hospitals in Hokkaido. The subjects were asked to complete the questionnaire while recalling the most memorable medical incidents and accidents they have experienced and the relationships among medical safety learning, the organizational characteristics (involvements and approaches in the workplace, reporting system, frequency of study meeting regarding medical accidents in the attending unit, organizational attributes), personal characteristics (Locus of Control) and experiences with medical incidents and accidents were examined. Valid responses, obtained from 297 nurses (mean age: 34.3 ± 8.9 years old), were analyzed. As a result of multiple linear regression analysis, specific advice from the nurse manager/staff and discussions within the workplace about preventing recurrence of medical incidents and accidents were found in the organizational characteristics to be related factors for medical safety learning. The result suggests that involvement of others is important to enhance medical safety learning and it is necessary for the organization to involve systematically with the persons concerned.
