Background & Aims: Medical safety measures for nurses are an important issue. The present study aimed to clarify the human factors affecting the frequency of incidents by years of experience. Methods: The participants were 1,489 nurses working in acute care hospitals with more than 400 beds. An anonymous, self-administered questionnaire survey was conducted. The survey included the frequency of incidents in the last six months and a “Questionnaire on Work Situations Commonly Associated with Nursing-Related Incidents.” Multiple logistic regression analysis was performed. Explanatory variables were extracted from the questionnaire items through principal component analysis. The objective variable was incident frequency. The analysis was conducted by years of experience. Results: Valid responses were obtained from 716 nurses. Extracted variables were: unsafe execution of work, psychological stress, physical stress, busy work environment. Significant associations with incident frequency was found for busy work environment, psychological stress, and unsafe execution of work for nurses with up to 1 year, 4-10 years, and 11 or more years of experience, respectively. Conclusion: The human factors affecting incident frequency were shown to differ depending on the nurses’ years of experience. Thus, preventive measures based on nursing experience are necessary: improving support systems to reduce busyness, improve psychological support, and address role familiarity for nurses with up to 1 year, 4-10 years, and 11 or more years of experience, respectively.
