Factors Related to Intention of Near Miss Reporting of Nurses, Northern Regional Hospitals
Keywords:
Intention, Near Miss Reporting, Nurses, Northern RegionalAbstract
Reporting near-miss accidents can help nurses correct causes and prevent future adverse events. This descriptive correlational research studied nurse intentions in reporting near misses in northern Thai regional hospitals and the factors related to their intentions. Participants included 438 nurses. Study instruments were the Attitude Scale, the Subjective Norm Scale, the Perceived Control Scale, and the Scale of Nurses’ Intention to Report Near Misses, all developed by the researcher. The Cronbach’s alpha coefficients for these scales were .96, .90, .90, and .97, respectively. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Spearman’s correlation coefficient.
Results were as follows:
1. Approximately 56 percent of nurses had high levels of intention to report, 40 percent had moderate levels, and 4 percent had low levels.
2. Attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived control were positively related to intention to report (rs=.29, p=.001, rs=.48, p=.001, rs=.19, p=.001).
Results suggest that nurse managers should encourage nurses to report near miss accidents by developing convenient and non-punitive reporting systems. Further study is recommended to develop an intervention based on theory of planned behavior to boost such reporting.
