Özet Amaç: Çalışmanın amacı; hemşirelerin malpraktis algısını ve bu konudaki tutum ile davranışla-rını değerlendirmektedir. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Tanımlayıcı ve kesitsel tipte bir çalışmadır. Araştırma, 15 Mart-18 Nisan 2012 tarihleri arasında Gümüşhane Devlet Hastanesi'nin kliniklerinde çalışan 124 hemşirenin gönüllü katılımıyla gerçekleştirilmiştir. Veriler, "Hemşirelikte Tıbbi Hataya Eğilim Ölçeği" kullanı-larak toplanmıştır. Çalışma yapılmadan önce İl Sağlık Müdürlüğünden yazılı izin alınmıştır. Çalış-ma araştırıcılar tarafından katılımcılara çalışmanın amacı ve içeriği anlatıldıktan sonra yüz yüze görüşme tekniği ile anket sorularının cevaplandırılması esasına göre yapılmıştır. Çalışmada kullanılan anket formu iki bölümden oluşmaktadır. Formun birinci bölümü literatür bilgisine uygun olarak araştırıcılar tarafından oluşturulmuştur ve sosyodemografik veriler ile malpraktis algısını ölçmeye yönelik soruları içermektedir. Veriler bilgisayarda SPSS paket programı kullanılarak frekans, ki-kare testi, Mann Whitney U testi ve Kruskal Wallis testleri ile değerlendirilmiştir. Bulgular: Hemşirelerin yaş ortalaması 29.68+6.57 yıldır. %22.6'sı gelirini yeterli olarak belirtmiş-tir. Katılımcılara göre malpraktisin nedenlerinin arasında; yorgunluk, iş yükünün fazla olması, stres, yöneticilerden memnun olunmaması gelmektedir. Katılımcıların meslekten memnuniyetleri ile malpraktise maruz kalma ve maruz kalma durumunu ilgili birimlere anlatma arasında anlamlı farklılık yoktur. Tartışma ve Sonuç: Çalışmada bazı sosyodemografik özelliklerin (yaş, eğitim durumu, meslekte toplam çalışma süresi gibi) malpraktis açısından önemli olmadığı ancak cinsiyet ve çalışma durumu ile ilgili şartların (çalıştığı servis/vardiya/haftalık ortalama çalışma süresi gibi) önemli olduğu görülmüştür.
