Abstract

Medication administration errors (MAEs) are one of the risks in nursing practice and occur because the drugs received by patients with prescription drugs are not appropriate. Nurses play an important role in patient safety, especially in drug delivery. The principle of five correct is needed to prevent the incidence of MAE. The causes of MAE are interruptions, workload, knowledge, and communication. The purpose of this study was to analyze the most influential factors on the incidence of MAE in a hospital West Indonesia. The research design used cross sectional. The sampling technique is simple random sampling and 99 people are taken as sample. The research instrument used is questionnaire. Data analysis used multivariate with logistic regression method. The results showed that the knowledge variable is the most dominant variable associated with medication error with OR = 7.262 means that the risk of knowledge raises medication error 7.262 larger than the workload after controlled by interrupt and communication variables. Recommendations for future researchers to make the results of this study as a baseline for doing a research about MEA and patient.
