The number of errors declined with experience (F 1,42) = 56.94, p < 0.001); none of the other variables or interactions were significant.
We found that as nurses gained experience up to 6 years, their rates and severity of errors declined significantly.
On the other hand, the effects of olanzapine are mainly caused by its sedative side effects, leading to a decline in motivation and appraisal of errors.
