Area of Science:

  • Healthcare Quality and Safety
  • Nursing Practice
  • Medication Safety

Background:

  • Patient safety is paramount in healthcare delivery.
  • Medication errors pose significant risks, particularly to vulnerable paediatric populations in emergency settings.
  • Understanding nurses' perspectives is key to improving medication administration safety.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate paediatric emergency nurses' perceptions regarding medication administration errors.
  • To identify factors influencing medication errors from the perspective of frontline nursing staff.

Main Methods:

  • Qualitative, ethnomethodological, descriptive study design.
  • In-depth individual interviews conducted with ten paediatric emergency nurses.
  • Data analyzed using the Taylor and Bogdan scheme.

Main Results:

  • Nurses identified safety culture and teamwork (communication, relationships) as critical.
  • Challenges include lack of formal support and negative feelings regarding error management.
  • A gap exists in recognizing near misses, dose delays, or omissions as errors.

Conclusions:

  • Current safety culture strategies are not fully adopted by nurses.
  • Fostering a positive safety culture, supportive work environment, and open communication is essential.
  • Hospitals need to implement targeted training and robust protocols for safe medication management.
