Abstract :Aim: This study examines the effect of nurses\\\' workload perceptions on their tendency to make medical errors. Material and Method: Conducted in a metropolitan Istanbul hospital, the study included 215 nurses from emergency, inpatient, and outpatient units. The sample size, determined as 201 at a 95% confidence level, was exceeded. Data were collected using the Nurse Personal and Professional Information Form, Workload Scale, and Medical Error Tendency Scale, then analyzed with SPSS 25.0. Spearman Correlation Analysis was used to assess relationships between variables (p 0.05). Conclusion: Despite high perceived workloads, nurses reported low tendencies toward medical errors. The lack of a significant relationship suggests other factors may influence error tendencies. Future studies should include varied settings and consider additional variables for broader insights.
