提升病人安全、降低醫療錯誤是當前各國醫療體系改革的重要方向之一,而異常事件通報則是病人安全架構中不可或缺的一環。 本研究的目的有三:一、探討中部某區域醫院內醫師對醫療異常事件通報之認知、態度及行為。二、探討醫師對醫療異常事件通報意願之重要影響因素。三、探討影響醫師對於異常事件通報制度之認知、態度及行為之相關因素。 本研究採用問卷調查法,針對中部某區域醫院內所有醫師共計104人為研究對象,研究工具係參考國內外相關文獻研擬而成之半結構式問卷。總計完成80份有效問卷,回收率76.9%。 研究結果發現: (一)醫師對於醫療異常事件通報的認知會因年齡、工作年資及過去通報經驗不同而有所差異,工作年資越長者,對異常通報有較高的認知。然而對於醫院內部異常事件通報方式,仍有62.8﹪的醫師表示從未曾通報,及12.5﹪的醫師表示『從未有人告知』此系統。 (二)當自己發生醫療錯誤或異常事件時,僅有六成七的醫師願意通報,低於五成的醫師願意通報同事的錯誤;當別人通報自己的錯誤時,二成四的醫師表示會感到生氣與難堪。 (三)68.8%的醫師認為醫院內部異常事件通報系統保密性不夠,醫療糾紛及法律問題是其所擔心的。 (四)醫師對異常事件通報制度的認知程度越高,會伴隨越正向的態度及主動之行為,異常事件通報態度越正向,通報意願之行為亦愈佳,彼此間呈現統計上顯著相關。 因此本研究建議:衛生署應加強針對全國醫師對於病人安全相關議題之認知教育與宣導;而針對研究醫院在規劃異常事件通報制度及系統,應廣納醫師之意見,作為規劃及設計之考量,以提升醫師通報之意願及行為。此外,未來可採用深度質性研究方式,俾使更深入了解醫師之通報認知及態度行為間之關係。
