Medical incidents pose significant challenges to patient safety and healthcare quality globally, leading to substantial health and economic burdens. Effective incident reporting systems are vital for identifying risks, fostering a culture of safety, and preventing recurrence. Understanding healthcare professionals' perspectives on incident reporting is paramount for improving these systems. This study aims to assess the knowledge, attitudes, and practices concerning medical incident reporting among nurses and midwives in selected clinical departments at Vinmec Times City International General Hospital in 2025, providing insights to enhance patient safety initiatives.

Healthcare administrators, nursing and midwifery educators, hospital management, quality improvement professionals, and healthcare policy makers interested in patient safety and incident reporting systems.

Medical incidents represent a critical global challenge, impacting patient safety and trust in healthcare systems. The effective reporting of these incidents is fundamental for continuous learning, risk mitigation, and enhancing the overall quality of care. This study employed a cross-sectional descriptive methodology, surveying 254 nurses and midwives in specific clinical departments of Vinmec Times City International General Hospital from December 2024 to March 2025. The primary objective was to thoroughly describe their knowledge, attitudes, and practices related to medical incident reporting. The findings revealed that 65.4% of the participants demonstrated adequate knowledge regarding medical incident reporting, while a high percentage exhibited positive attitudes (92.5%) and good practices (82.7%). Specifically, 65.4% correctly understood the definition of medical incidents, and a substantial 94.5% agreed that reporting incidents facilitates learning from colleagues, prevents recurrences, and improves error avoidance. The rate of nurses and midwives who actively practiced medical incident reporting was 83.5%. Despite the generally positive attitudes and practices, the still limited knowledge level among nurses and midwives highlights a crucial need for enhanced training. These educational interventions should focus on foundational knowledge about medical incidents and underscore the profound importance of reporting to bolster patient safety and quality improvement efforts within healthcare settings. The study's insights are valuable for developing targeted strategies to improve incident reporting systems.
