Background and aim: Cognitive failures are important for reducing accidents and improving performance and depend on multiple factors. Given that this issue has received less attention among midwives, this study aimed to determine the status of cognitive failures in relation to individual factors and personality traits among midwives.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in the summer of 2024 on 211 midwives working in Kermanshah province. The samples were selected using a convenience sampling method. A standard three-part questionnaire was used. The first part included demographic information. The second and third parts included questions from the Cognitive Failures Questionnaire and the short form of the NEO Personality Inventory, respectively. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 24.
Results: The mean age and work experience of the midwives participating in this study were 36.22 ± 8.03 years and 10.38 ± 7.85 years, respectively. The overall scores for cognitive failures in the dimensions of memory, action, and attention were 16.79 ± 3.04, 17.41 ± 2.80, and 16.30 ± 3.62, respectively. Results showed a direct relationship between age, work experience, and BMI with cognitive failures and an inverse relationship between exercising and cognitive failures. Neuroticism, agreeableness, and openness were directly related to cognitive failures, while conscientiousness was inversely related to cognitive failures.
Conclusion: The status of cognitive failures in the action dimension was more unfavorable compared to the other two dimensions. Some individual and personality traits were directly, and others inversely related to cognitive failures. Further studies in this area are necessary.
