Assuring that medication administration error (MAE) reports are reliable and valid is of great significance for the patient, the hospital, and the nurse. In most hospitals, MAE reporting relies on the nurse who discovers an error to initiate an error report, whether the error was committed by that nurse or someone else. Because of the potential for negative consequences, there may be significant disincentives for the nurse to report the error. This, the first of two articles, describes the results of a large-scale survey designed to assess nurses' perceptions of the reasons why MAE may not be reported. The companion article compares nurses' estimates of the extent to which MAEs are reported with the actual reported medication error rates.
