Background/Aim. The provision of safe healthcare is considered a priority in European Union (EU) member states. Along with other preventative measures in healthcare, the EU also strives to eliminate the ?causes of harm to human health?. The aim of this survey was to determine whether safety culture, supervisors and communication between co-workers influence the number of adverse event reports submitted to the heads of clinical departments and to the management of an institution. Methods. This survey is based on cross-sectional analysis. It was carried out in the largest Slovenian university hospital. We received 235 completed questionnaires. Respondents included professionals in the fields of nursingcare, physiotherapy, occupational therapy and radiological technology. Results. Safety culture influences the number of adverse event reports submitted to the head of a clinical department from the organizational point of view. Supervisors and communication between co-workers do not influence the number of adverse event reports. Conclusion. It can be concluded that neither supervisors nor the level of communication between co-workers influence the frequency of adverse event reporting, while safety culture does influence it from an organizational point of view. The presumed factors only partly influence the number of submitted adverse event reports, thus other causes of under-reporting must be sought elsewhere.

ABSTRACT Objective: to identify how nurses report adverse events; to know what elements influence adverse event reporting and which reporting strategies they suggest. Method: qualitative study with a convergent care research design, conducted in a critical patient unit of a private health center in the region of Magallanes, Chile. Thirteen nurses participate in the study, through interviews and a discussion group. Results: the nurses who report adverse events do so verbally and in writing to the nurse coordinator immediately. Failure to report adverse events is mainly due to lack of knowledge of the safety culture, fear of reprisals and punishment within the workplace. As adverse event reporting strategies, they suggest continuing education about the safety culture, raising awareness and trust in that error reporting will not be met with punishment and that the error will lead to an improvement plan that avoids committing the same error on another occasion, improving communication and leadership. Conclusion: although nurses report adverse events, they are concerned with punishment, indicating the need to review the patient safety culture at a critical care unit in the study context.

AbstractThis current investigation was aimed to generate signals for adverse events (AEs) of darunavir-containing agents by data mining using the US Food and Drug Administration Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS). All AE reports for darunavir, darunavir/ritonavir, or darunavir/cobicistat between July 2006 and December 2019 were identified. The reporting Odds Ratio (ROR), proportional reporting ratio (PRR), and Bayesian confidence propagation neural network (BCPNN) were used to detect the risk signals. A suspicious signal was generated only if the results of the three algorithms were all positive. A total of 10,756 reports were identified commonly observed in hepatobiliary, endocrine, cardiovascular, musculoskeletal, gastrointestinal, metabolic, and nutrition system. 40 suspicious signals were generated, and therein 20 signals were not included in the label. Severe high signals (i.e. progressive extraocular muscle paralysis, acute pancreatitis, exfoliative dermatitis, acquired lipodystrophy and mitochondrial toxicity) were identified. In pregnant women, umbilical cord abnormality, fetal growth restriction, low birth weight, stillbirth, premature rupture of membranes, premature birth and spontaneous abortion showed positive signals. Darunavir and its boosted agents induced AEs in various organs/tissues, and were shown to be possibly associated with multiple adverse pregnant conditions. This study highlighted some novel and severe AEs of darunavir which need to be monitored prospectively.
