Associations between safety perceptions and medical error reporting among neonatal intensive care unit staff.

Introduction: Critically ill neonates are particularly susceptible to medical errors; however, few studies have evaluated NICU safety climate in the context of medical error reporting. This study aims to identify the association between perceptions of safety and culture among NICU staff with medical error reporting behaviours.

Methods: This study used a convenience sample of 79 NICU staff members (38 Nurses and 41 Respiratory Therapists).
