Obedience01:08

Obedience

According to obedience research, we may harm others under the forceful pressures of an authority figure (Milgram, 1974). How about if the inappropriate orders were delivered with less force? The increasing interdependence between nurses and physicians compelled Hofling and his colleagues to explore nurses’ reactions to a potentially harmful medical request made by the perceived authority figure, the doctor (Hofling, Brotzman, Dalrymple, Graves, & Pierce, 1966). In this situation, obedience...

Area of Science:

  • Nursing Practice
  • Pharmacology
  • Patient Safety

Background:

  • Drug errors incur significant costs and pose risks to patients and staff.
  • Nurses in the UK are increasingly undertaking extended prescribing roles across diverse settings.
  • Ensuring safe prescribing practices is paramount for all healthcare professionals.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore how recently qualified nurse prescribers perceive the safety of their prescribing practices.
  • To identify factors influencing safe prescribing among new nurse prescribers.
  • To understand how nurses can be best supported in their prescribing roles.

Main Methods:

  • Qualitative study involving in-depth interviews with 31 recently qualified nurse prescribers.
  • Participants were recruited from various specialties and practice settings in the West Midlands, England.
  • Interviews explored experiences and perceptions of prescribing work.

Main Results:

  • Newly qualified nurses are highly aware of the responsibility associated with prescribing.
  • This heightened awareness may contribute to hesitancy, with 26% not having prescribed post-qualification.
  • Multidisciplinary team collaboration and support are perceived as vital for safe prescribing.

Conclusions:

  • Ongoing mentoring from experienced prescribers is beneficial, especially for nurses in less defined specialties.
  • Development of individual formularies can support nurse prescribers.
  • Enhanced support structures are needed to foster confidence and consistent safe prescribing among newly qualified nurses.
