| Abstract | ||
| Background: Reporting of near-miss safety events is commonly assumed to enhance safety in organizations, as such reporting enables managers to identify and address accident risk factors. Aim: This study aimed to explore nurses’ willingness to report near-miss and their perception of patients’ safety culture. Methodology: A cross-sectional descriptive research design was used to conduct this research. A convenient sample of 300 nurses over a period of four months, were recruited from Beni suef university hospital and Beni-Suef Chest Hospital. Three tools were used as follow; a sociodemographic form; nurses’ willingness to report near-misses scale and nurses’ perception of patient safety culture. Results: There was a significant positive linear correlation between nurses’ willingness to report near-misses and their perception of patient safety culture at r. 0.568, and p. value <0.01. Also, the ANOVA analysis explained that critical department, experience, and attended training courses had a high-frequency positive effect on nurses’ willingness to report near-misses. Conclusion: Nurses generally showed a moderate willingness to report near-misses and a moderate perception of patient safety culture. Recommendation: Integrate near-miss reporting and patient safety education into staff training to increase nurses’ awareness of the value of near-misses reporting which will significantly improve patient safety. | ||
