Task interruptions during medication administration are a subject that has been little evaluated and analyzed in medical-social institutions, yet one that poses risks for nurses and residents. This study examines a tool proposed by the French National Authority for Health: the wearing of a vest in residential care facilities for dependent elderly people in order to assess the impact on task interruptions. The study highlights the importance of support and awareness-raising in its implementation in order to achieve positive results.
