Therefore, committing error in report writing may have consequences for a nurse. This study aims to determine the status of error reporting among nurses. Materials & Methods: This study is a descriptive-analytic one and the participants were all the nurses (161 Nurse) working at Yasuj Shahid Beheshti hospital of Yasuj, Iran in 2014. The data collecting tool was a researcher-made questionnaire that contains 19 questions about the demographic characteristics of nurses and the reporting error among them. The data was analyzed using descriptive statistics, coefficient of dispersion, t-test and ANOVA and SPSS software version 16. Results: Based on the findings of study, only 85/71% of the nurses have committed reporting error and writing long reports was the most frequent error (247 cases, 21%). The mean of error reporting for each nurse was 1/22 in a one-month period. There were significant relationships among reporting errors and the sex and work experiences of the nurses. Conclusion: The results showed that nursing reports have a poor quality. It seems that creating legal and cultural infrastructures for error reporting, developing the training programs and continuous monitoring are necessary to improve the quality of nursing reports. %> http://ijn.iums.ac.ir/article-1-2304-en.pdf %P 33-42 %& 33 %! %9 Research %L A-10-1535-2 %+ Ms in Medical Surjical Nursing, Clinical Care and Skills research center, Yasuj University of Medical Sciences, Yasuj, Iran.(*Corresponding Author) Tell: 09176220185 Email: Abolfazl.dehbanizade@gmail.com %G eng %@ 2008-5931 %[ 2016
