Background & Aims: A nursing error means failure and error in carrying out care standards, which occurs as a result of an organizational error or manpower error. The present study was conducted to investigate the causes of nursing errors and effective factors in non-reporting of errors from the perspective of nurses.
Materials & Methods: This descriptive-analytical cross-sectional study was conducted among the nurses working in hospitals affiliated to Maragheh University of medical sciences in 2021. The sampling method of the present study was convenience sampling. The data collection tool was the Researcher-made questionnaire. Data were analyzed in SPSS software (version 25).
Results: 86.7% of participants were female and 13.3% were male. The important reasons for occurring and non-reporting of nursing errors were "Overcrowded work shift and lack of time and opportunity" with an average of 4.5±0.7 and "fear of informing department authorities and being reprimanded by them" with an average of 4±0.7.
Conclusion: The most important reason for the error incident among nurses was heavy workload and doing works beyond their power and it is possible to significantly reduce this workload by increasing and managing the manpower. The most important reason for non-reporting is fear of informing department authorities and being reprimanded by them to solve this problem, the hospital managers and administrators can provide conditions for nurses so that they can trust in case of an error incident and report their errors to prevent further problems.
