Enhancing safety in a pediatric unit
Abstract:
This descriptive study demonstrates how a group of nurses in the clinical setting can identify and implement a safe sharps disposal strategy to enhance safety. The aim of this small study was to determine a safer method of disposing used sharp items. The findings indicated that many factors can contribute to inappropriate disposal of used sharp items. Changes in practice were implemented following the findings of this study and resulted in enhanced safety in this paediatric unit. In addition, results of the study were utilised to contribute to evidence based nursing practice.
