“…In this study, no significant difference was found between the approach to medical error average sub-dimension score and sociodemographic characteristics. Similar results were obtained in other studies in the literatüre [11,35]. In another studies [18,36] conducted on nurses a significant difference was found between gender, the clinic they worked in, years of work experience, and approach to medical error sub-dimension.…”

This study aims to determine the attitudes of nurses towards medical errors and related factors. The study was designed as a descriptive and cross-sectional study. A total of 119 nurses completed a questionnaire on personal information and Medical Errors Attitude Scale. It was determined that nurses’ attitudes towards medical errors were positive. It was found that nurses’ awareness of medical errors and reporting errors was high. The medical error perception of nurses with less years of work experience in the unit was found to be more negative. Many medical errors are actually caused by preventable conditions. At this point, the best way to prevent medical errors is to create an institutional culture based on patient safety. Within the scope of quality control studies in health institutions, the development of patient safety culture and development of nurses’ attitudes towards medical errors should be supported.

OBJECTIVE This study aimed to explore nurse leader attitudes and beliefs about medical errors. BACKGROUND The perfectibility model suggests errors are avoidable if nurses are trained and follow safety guidelines. This impacts how nurse leaders approach medical errors. Nurse leaders (NLs) may be the first person to whom a nurse reports an error. Leaders support nurses through the investigation process and subsequent recovery. METHODS A cross-sectional quantitative study was conducted to determine NL attitudes toward medical errors using the Medical Error Attitude Scale (MEAS). RESULTS MEAS scores were high in all categories. Medical error perception was significant for NLs with institutional support programs and when compared with job titles. Medical error approach and perception were significant for NLs with direct reports who had committed a medical error. CONCLUSION This study provides insight into NLs' views on medical errors, awareness of NLs who have had nurses involved in medical errors, and formal caregiver support programs.
