Experienced barriers of screening completion from triage-nurses working in the ED. Frequency of reported barriers of screening completion by 28 triage-nurses. Nurses were able to fill in multiple barriers. Patient-related barriers were ‘patient was too sick’ and ‘patient refused screening’. Organisation-related barriers were ‘the ED was too busy’ and ‘it took too much time to complete screening’. Personnel-related barriers were ‘screening was useless’, ‘screening questions were difficult to ask’ and ‘forgotten to complete screening’.
