Sociocultural factors influencing incident reporting among physicians and nurses: understanding frames underlying self- and peer-reporting practices.

Hewitt T, Chreim S, Forster A. J Patient Saf. 2014 Aug 26; [Epub ahead of print].

It has been well documented that physicians and nurses utilize voluntary error reporting systems in markedly different ways, with physicians much less likely to report errors. This qualitative study explores the sociocultural beliefs of both groups that influence their likelihood of voluntarily reporting errors.
