Despite the importance of reporting, nurses may encounter several challenges:
- Fear of Repercussions: Concerns about disciplinary actions or negative evaluations can discourage nurses from reporting. - Time Constraints: Heavy workloads and time pressures may limit the ability to complete detailed reports. - Lack of Awareness: Some nurses may not fully understand what constitutes reportable incidents or the importance of reporting. - Inadequate Systems: Poorly designed reporting systems that are difficult to use can deter nurses from documenting incidents.
