Abstract
Errors in nursing practice are a growing concern in healthcare posing a threat to patient safety. Practitioners have been hesitant to come forward and report errors because of negative ramifications in the workplace. Few studies have approached error management through the eyes of the clinician or have studied how nurses cope or change their practice after committing an error. Studies on nursing errors have traditionally used floor/unit nurses as the sample population. This study used an often unseen and highly specialized group known as perioperative or operating room registered nurses. This study was a descriptive, correlational design using a survey to obtain information. Perioperative registered nurses (N=272) who were members of the Association of periOperative Registered Nurses (AORN) participated in the study.
