Abstract: Background: Incident reporting is crucial since it raises the healthcare facility's awareness about the things that can go wrong so that corrective and preventative actions can be taken promptly.Without the communication channel provided by incident reporting protocols, a variety of threats to safety could go undetected and unresolved. Methods:The study made use of the descriptive-correlational research design.This study was conducted in a selected medical institution in Bulacan.The institution is the largest secondary hospital in Malolos, Bulacan.The total sample of the study is 78 nurses.Result: The findings reveal a positive reporting culture regarding incidents that were realized and corrected before affecting the patient.However, incidents with no potential harm to the patient were reported less frequently.To enhance patient safety, healthcare organizations should focus on fostering a reporting culture that promotes the reporting of all errors, regardless of their potential harm.Conclusion: This comprehensive study on behaviors, barriers, and motivation to incident reporting in nursing care has provided valuable insights into the factors influencing the reporting culture among nurses.
