ABSTRACT
Medication near-misses occur at higher rates than medication errors and are usually underreported. Reporting a medication near-miss is crucial, as it highlights areas of human and system failures. Identifying these incidents is particularly important in nursing home (NH) settings to help managers plan and initiate proactive measures to contain the errors. However, scarce evidence exists about predictors of nurses' willingness to report near-misses. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to test a proposed model for NH nurses' willingness to report medication near-misses. Data for this cross-sectional study were collected using a random sample of RNs working in NHs across one Midwestern state. The proposed model predicted a 19% variance in nurses' willingness to report medication near-misses, with the strongest predicators being non-punitive responses to errors (ß = 0.33, p < 0.001). According to the study results, system and social factors are needed to improve nurses' voluntary reporting of medication near-misses. [Journal of Gerontological Nursing, 46(4), 21-30.].
