Obedience

33.2K
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,...

Area of Science:

  • Nursing Education
  • Patient Safety
  • Medication Administration Errors

Background:

  • Medication administration errors (MAEs) pose a significant risk in healthcare.
  • Pre-licensure nursing education is crucial for shaping future medication administration practices.
  • Risk perception directly impacts clinical decision-making and behavior in nurses.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore and describe pre-licensure nursing students' perceptions of risk for medication administration errors.
  • Focus on fourth-year baccalaureate nursing students at a large university in central Pennsylvania.

Main Methods:

  • Qualitative, descriptive, and exploratory study design.
  • Thematic analysis of data from 60 in-depth, semi-structured interviews.
  • Rich, detailed narratives were collected from participants.

Main Results:

  • Identified four key themes: nature of risk perceptions, need for more learning opportunities, experiences with medication administration errors, and influence of intrinsic characteristics on errors.
  • Student nurses' perceptions of risk are multifaceted and influenced by various factors.
  • Narratives highlighted specific areas for improvement in student training.

Conclusions:

  • Findings offer a comprehensive view of student nurse risk perceptions regarding MAEs.
  • Recommendations for nursing education include increased clinical experiences, revised pharmacology curricula, and enhanced simulation-based training.
  • Educational adjustments can improve future medication administration practices and patient safety.
