Abstract

Background

Preventing errors associated with medication administration is achievable through nurses’ adherence to correct principles.

Objective

This study aims to investigate the relationship between nurses’ adherence to medication administration principles and their attitudes toward patient safety.

Method

This study adopts a descriptive and relationship-seeking research design. A total of 310 nurses who met the inclusion criteria participated in the study. Data collection tools included the “Nurse Information Form,” “Medication Administration Principles Adherence Form,” and “Patient Safety Attitude Scale”.

Results

Among the participating nurses, 32.9% (n = 102) reported experiencing a medication administration error, and 77.7% (n = 241) witnessed such an error. The study revealed a statistically significant positive relationship between nurses’ adherence to medication administration principles and their attitudes toward patient safety (p < 0.001).

Conclusions

This study underscores the importance of nurses’ adherence to medication administration principles in ensuring patient safety.

期刊介绍： The Journal of Evaluation in Clinical Practice aims to promote the evaluation and development of clinical practice across medicine, nursing and the allied health professions. All aspects of health services research and public health policy analysis and debate are of interest to the Journal whether studied from a population-based or individual patient-centred perspective. Of particular interest to the Journal are submissions on all aspects of clinical effectiveness and efficiency including evidence-based medicine, clinical practice guidelines, clinical decision making, clinical services organisation, implementation and delivery, health economic evaluation, health process and outcome measurement and new or improved methods (conceptual and statistical) for systematic inquiry into clinical practice. Papers may take a classical quantitative or qualitative approach to investigation (or may utilise both techniques) or may take the form of learned essays, structured/systematic reviews and critiques.
