This study seeks to clarify the mechanisms of nurse violations and to develop an educational program to prevent them. We presented a survey concerning situations in which nurses might commit violations and asked about three points, i. e., subjective frequency of violations felt by nurses, risks assessment, and benefit assessment, using nine levels of measurement. Surveys where implemented in six hospitals and answers were obtained from 200 nurses. Results indicated that violations are more likely to occur when risk is low, benefit is large, and time pressure is high. We were thus able to obtain important suggestions for taking measures to reduce future violations.
