Aim To describe how Registered Nurses in a municipal home care context experience adverse event reports. Design A qualitative design was used. Method Twelve semistructured individual interviews with Registered Nurses in a municipal home care context were collected on two occasions and analysed with qualitative content analysis. Results The results show that conflicts exist between being able to trust the managers and their feedback, being loyal to colleagues and retaining professional pride. These are described in the theme “Contradiction” and the three categories: “Awareness”; “Uncertainty”; and “Concealment.”
