Practice of reporting adverse events at a level II hospital in Vietnam.

Our study aims to describe the current state of AME reporting practices and some related factors to provide evidence for patient safety management and hospital quality improvement. A cross-sectional study was carried out at Gia Lai Provincial General Hospital in 2021, applying both qualitative and quantitative research methods. The probability of meeting AME in the study is 19.27%, but only 15.66% of the subjects reported AME. Cognitive and behavioral limitations are significant factors in AME practice. AME training at the hospital has not been widely implemented. 93.98 percent of medical personnel work more than 40 h per week, and 37.95 percent report being overworked. Overworking increases the likelihood of having AME and lowers AME reporting rates. Complicated, time-consuming reporting processes, regulatory systems for reporting adverse events, and insufficient supervisors are all factors that impede AME reporting practices. The practice of AME reporting at Gia Lai Provincial General Hospital is limited and affected by factors such as knowledge and attitudes of medical personnel, work pressure, and the system of regulations and procedures related to AME report.
