Introduction: We wish to integrate an adverse events reporting system in a Tunisian University Hospital. However, before the implantation of this system, it is important to identify the factors that may influence the reporting, so it is primordial to conduct a study which aims to determine influencing factors of adverse events reporting according to the perception of health care professionals.
Method: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted between July and September 2014, using a questionnaire which was developed in the light of Reason’s works on safety culture (1990; 1997), and the Pffeifer, Manser and Wahner (2010) model of influencing factors of adverse events reporting.
