Abstract

ABSTRACT Medication errors may arise due to insufficient information on drug use. The purpose of this study was to determine the impact of educational support on standards of medication administration regarding nursing medication errors in Intensive Care Units (ICU). The study's participants included two groups of ICU nurses. Both groups were observed using a checklist, before and two weeks after training. Educational intervention in the form of two two-hour sessions was conducted for the intervention group, while control group received no intervention. No significant differences were found in both groups before intervention (P>0.05). However, the nurses’ medication errors significantly decreased in the intervention group compared to the control group (12.7 ± 1.5 vs. 22.7 ± 3.8; p <0.01). Therefore, education of standards can result in a significant reduction in medication errors among ICU nurses. Even for ICU nurses, post-medical education is important for continuing professional education.

教育支持对重症监护病房护理用药错误用药标准的影响

摘要:用药信息不充分可能导致用药错误。本研究旨在探讨教育支持对重症监护病房(ICU)护理用药错误给药标准的影响。该研究的参与者包括两组ICU护士。两组在训练前和训练后两周使用检查表进行观察。干预组进行两次两小时的教育干预，对照组不进行干预。干预前两组比较差异无统计学意义(P < 0.05)。干预组护士用药差错发生率明显低于对照组(12.7±1.5∶22.7±3.8;p < 0.01)。因此，标准教育可以显著减少ICU护士的用药错误。即使对ICU护士来说，医学后教育对继续专业教育也很重要。
