Abstract

Background and objectives: At the Hospital Universitari Arnau de Vilanova Lleida, Spain, nursing staff utilize different transfusion safety systems (TSSs) depending on their clinical unit. These range from a basic model involving wristband-based patient identification to a more advanced system incorporating a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), location beacon, physical barriers, specific wristbands and personal identification. This study aimed to compare nursing staff satisfaction across the various TSSs used.

Materials and methods: In March 2025, nursing staff were invited to voluntarily and anonymously complete an online, self-designed questionnaire assessing their perceptions of the systems in use.

Results: A total of 120 nurses participated, representing 15.6% of the total population. While overall satisfaction did not differ significantly by system type, 40.6% of respondents reported a negative perception. Users of the basic system felt less safe (65.4%) and considered it less effective at preventing errors (64.1%) than those using the complex system (87.2% and 92.8%, respectively). However, the complex system was associated with more frequent technical or usability issues (66.7%) compared with the basic system (34.6%), which contributed notably to dissatisfaction.

Conclusion: Although specific factors influencing satisfaction were identified, no clear preference emerged regarding overall system satisfaction. The variability in responses may reflect the subjective nature of satisfaction. An optimal TSS would combine adaptability to staff needs, perceived safety, ease of use, intuitive visual cues, time efficiency and high reliability with minimal technical complications.

某大学医院护理人员对几种输血安全系统使用的满意度。

背景和目的：在西班牙阿瑙大学医院，护理人员根据其临床单位使用不同的输血安全系统（tss）。从基于腕带的病人识别的基本模型到更高级的系统，包括个人数字助理（PDA）、定位信标、物理屏障、特定腕带和个人识别。本研究的目的是比较护理人员的满意度在不同的tss使用。材料和方法：2025年3月，护理人员被邀请自愿匿名完成一份自行设计的在线问卷，评估他们对正在使用的系统的看法。结果：共有120名护士参与调查，占总人数的15.6%。虽然系统类型的总体满意度没有显着差异，但40.6%的受访者报告了负面看法。与使用复杂系统的用户（分别为87.2%和92.8%）相比，使用基本系统的用户（65.4%）认为更不安全，认为在防止错误方面效果更差（64.1%）。然而，与基本系统（34.6%）相比，复杂系统与更频繁的技术或可用性问题（66.7%）相关，这是引起不满的主要原因。结论：虽然确定了影响满意度的具体因素，但对整体系统满意度没有明确的偏好。反应的可变性可能反映了满意度的主观性。最佳的TSS应结合对工作人员需要的适应性、可感知的安全性、易于使用、直观的视觉提示、时间效率和高可靠性以及最小的技术复杂性。
