Abstract
Background: Patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) pumps are complex medical devices frequently used for postoperative pain control. Differences in how nurses program PCA pumps can lead to preventable medication errors.
Purpose: To describe similarities and differences in how surgical nurses program PCA pumps.
Methods: We conducted a qualitative study using video reflexive ethnography (VRE) to film nurses as they programmed a PCA pump. We spliced and collated videos into separate clips and showed to nursing leaders for their deliberation and action.
Results: We found nurses ignored or immediately silenced alarms, were uncertain about the correct programming sequence, and interpreted how to load a syringe in the pump in multiple ways; in addition, the PCA pump design did not align with nurses' workflow.
Conclusions: VRE was effective in visualizing common challenges nurses experienced during PCA pump programming. Nursing leaders are planning several nursing process changes due to these findings.
期刊介绍：
Journal of Nursing Care Quality (JNCQ) is a peer-reviewed journal that provides practicing nurses as well as nurses who have leadership roles in nursing care quality programs with useful information regarding the application of quality principles and concepts in the practice setting. The journal offers a forum for the scholarly discussion of “real world” implementation of quality activities.
