摘要

背景:用药错误会产生一系列不利影响,包括延迟愈合、耐药性、发病率甚至死亡率,尤其是对儿童而言。然而,有关加纳医疗机构收治的儿童用药错误发生率的经验数据却很有限。研究方法采用横断面分析设计,通过便利抽样从上东部地区医院收治的 399 名患病儿童中获取前瞻性数据。此外,还进行了描述性和推断性统计分析,如皮尔逊卡方检验和二元逻辑回归。结果显示用药错误发生率为 65.9%。静脉注射是用药错误最常见的途径(48.1%)。给药频率不正确(41.9%)是最常见的错误类型。用药错误的发生与医院病房(χ2 =13.1,p < 0.001)、患者年龄(χ2 =19.254,p < 0.001)和患者体重(χ2 =5.740,p < 0.05)之间存在明显相关性。结论在医疗机构的儿科住院患者中,用药错误的发生率非常高。

Medication administration errors among children admitted at a Regional Hospital in Northern Ghana
Background: Errors in medication administration have a number of detrimental effects, including delayed healing, drug resistance, morbidity, and even mortality, particularly in children. However, there are limited empirical data on the incidence of medication administration errors experienced by children admitted to healthcare facilities in Ghana. Methods: An analytic cross-sectional design was used to obtain prospective data from 399 sick children admitted to the Upper East Regional Hospital using a convenient sampling. Both descriptive and inferential statistical analyses such as Pearson chi-square tests and binary logistic regression, were also conducted. Results: The incidence of medication administration errors was 65.9 %. The intravenous route of medication was the most common route involved in medication administration errors (48.1 %). An incorrect frequency of drug administration (41.9 %) was the most common type of error. There were significant correlations between the occurrence of medication administration errors and hospital ward ((χ2 =13.1, p < 0.001), patient’ age ((χ2 = 19.254, p < 0.001) and patient’ weight ((χ2 = 5.740, p < 0.05). Conclusion: The incidence of medication administration errors is very high among pediatric inpatients in healthcare facilities.

期刊介绍: International Journal of Africa Nursing Sciences (IJANS) is an international scientific journal published by Elsevier. The broad-based journal was founded on two key tenets, i.e. to publish the most exciting research with respect to the subjects of Nursing and Midwifery in Africa, and secondly, to advance the international understanding and development of nursing and midwifery in Africa, both as a profession and as an academic discipline. The fully refereed journal provides a forum for all aspects of nursing and midwifery sciences, especially new trends and advances. The journal call for original research papers, systematic and scholarly review articles, and critical papers which will stimulate debate on research, policy, theory or philosophy of nursing as related to nursing and midwifery in Africa, technical reports, and short communications, and which will meet the journal''s high academic and ethical standards. Manuscripts of nursing practice, education, management, and research are encouraged. The journal values critical scholarly debate on issues that have strategic significance for educators, practitioners, leaders and policy-makers of nursing and midwifery in Africa. The journal publishes the highest quality scholarly contributions reflecting the diversity of nursing, and is also inviting international scholars who are engaged with nursing and midwifery in Africa to contribute to the journal. We will only publish work that demonstrates the use of rigorous methodology as well as by publishing papers that highlight the theoretical underpinnings of nursing and midwifery as it relates to the Africa context.
