Abstract

Reporting hospital incidents is still a matter of pros and cons in its implementation, both from the perspective of patients and hospital staff. However, this is detrimental if it is not immediately corrected by building and strengthening a safety culture. The present study aimed to determine the inhibiting and supporting factors in reporting patient safety incidents among healthcare workers. This study used a literature review method by collecting online literature data sources and obtained 5 (five) pieces of literature related to inhibiting and supporting factors in reporting patient safety incidents among healthcare workers. Inhibiting factors consist of individual aspects (feelings of fear of being blamed and threats of intimidation), psychological aspects (worries about worsening the hospital's image), organizational aspects (lack of safety culture), and government aspects (no laws to protect whistle-blowers). Meanwhile, supporting factors include supportive organizational support, developing and strengthening a patient safety culture, hospitals regulating reporting patient safety incidents, continuous evaluation in implementing patient safety training, and support for government laws and regulations protecting staff. Efforts to support the reporting of patient safety incidents by fostering and strengthening a culture of patient safety through a culture of learning, a culture of reporting, a culture of fairness, and a culture of information openness in hospitals can support the realization of reporting patient safety incidents safely and comfortably.
