The medical liability statute in Libya influences both patient safety and the reporting of patient safety incidents.The Patient Safety Incidents Reporting and Learning System (PSI-RLS) is widely discussed in international literature but remains under-researched in developing countries like Libya and other resource-constrained settings. There is a notable lack of policies related to PSI-RLS in these contexts and limited evidence of their effectiveness in healthcare sectors. This study aims to comprehensively explore the concept of PSI-RLS in the Libyan healthcare sector, focusing specifically on understanding the experiences and perceptions of key healthcare policy stakeholders at the national level. Study Design A qualitative-exploratory approach was adopted for this study. Data were collected through policy analysis and semi-structured interviews with key stakeholders at the macro level, along with notetaking as a third source of data. Walt and Gilson's (1994) policy analysis framework was utilised for the policy analysis. Purposive sampling was employed to select stakeholders and participants, ensuring maximum variation and national representation. The semi-structured interviews were analysed using Braun and Clarke’s (2006) six-step thematic analysis framework.REPORTING AND LEARNINGPATIENT SAFETY INCIDENT REPORTING AND LEARNING SYSTEM IN LIBYAN HEALTHCARE: AN EXPLORATORY STUDY
