Area of Science:

  • Nursing
  • Patient Safety
  • Healthcare Quality

Background:

  • Perioperative medication errors persist despite ongoing efforts to mitigate them.
  • These errors pose a significant risk to patient safety within the surgical environment.
  • Understanding the root causes and perceptions surrounding these errors is crucial for improvement.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine nurses' accounts of perioperative medication errors.
  • To identify the types, causes, and contributing factors of these errors.
  • To compare perceptions of medication errors between perioperative and non-perioperative nurses.

Main Methods:

  • Qualitative analysis of written accounts from 27 nurses (16 discussing errors, 11 providing additional context).
  • Exploration of medication errors in preoperative, intraoperative, and "close call" scenarios.
  • Comparative analysis of attitudes between perioperative and non-perioperative nursing staff.

Main Results:

  • Preoperative medication errors were the most frequently reported type.
  • Common causes identified include production pressure, complacency, and deviation from routines.
  • Self-blame and inter-unit communication gaps were also noted.
  • Similarities and differences in error perception were found between perioperative and non-perioperative nurses.

Conclusions:

  • Perioperative medication errors are multifactorial, influenced by systemic and individual factors.
  • Addressing production pressures, reinforcing routines, and improving inter-unit communication are vital.
  • Further research into nursing education and healthcare system influences is warranted.
