Obedience

33.0K
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,...

Documentation of Nursing Diagnosis

1.3K
The nurse documents nursing diagnoses and enters them into the patient record. The identified patient's nursing diagnosis is either written out with a plan of care or entered into the electronic health record.
In some settings, data-driven computerized decision support systems are in place, allowing for more accurate nursing diagnoses. The database within one of these systems includes diagnostic labels defining characteristics, activities, and indicators for nursing. A nurse enters...

Current Trends in Nursing II

1.4K
Trends in nursing are multifactorial and associated with changes in society, within the nursing profession, and in other professions. Notably, telehealth and remote nursing contribute to successful healthcare delivery for numerous patients and help reduce stress for nurses due to nursing shortages. Nurses can reach patients, monitor their conditions, and interact with them using computers, audio, visual accessories, and telephones—for example, remote patient monitoring systems. Likewise,...

Area of Science:

  • Nursing
  • Healthcare Quality
  • Patient Safety

Background:

  • Medication administration errors are a significant issue in healthcare settings.
  • These errors are strongly associated with nursing workload.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To quantitatively analyze the relationship between various nursing workload types and specific medication administration errors.
  • To understand the nuanced impact of workload on different error categories.

Main Methods:

  • Data collected from 290 medication administration errors across three medical institutions.
  • Utilized partial least squares and structural equation modeling for quantitative analysis.
  • Identified four distinct error types and nine nursing workload types.

Main Results:

  • Established a quantitative link between specific nursing workload types and medication administration errors.
  • Path coefficients ranged from 0.087 to 0.416, indicating varying degrees of influence.
  • Confirmed the theoretical mechanism connecting workload to medication errors.

Conclusions:

  • Nursing workload is a confirmed factor contributing to medication administration errors.
  • Findings provide empirical evidence for nursing managers to implement workload management strategies.
  • Aims to enhance the quality and safety of nursing administration processes.
