However, there are currently limited studies on the effects of DPSIs on resolving diagnosis-related PSIs. Therefore, this study aimed to estimate the effects of DPSIs using hypothetical cases, particularly in diagnosis-related PSIs.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>A survey using 2 hypothetical cases of diagnosis-related PSIs was conducted in 5 districts of Ulsan Metropolitan City, Korea, from March 18 to 21, 2021. The survey used a multistage stratified quota sampling method to recruit participants. Multiple logistic regression and linear regression analyses were performed to determine the effectiveness of DPSIs in hypothetical cases.

Additional activities mainly comprised specific preventive interventions or follow-up assessments after adequate measurements. Key barriers identified to work according to protocols included time constraints, ambiguity regarding task ownership, nurses' perceived limitations in applying their clinical expertise due to time constraints, insufficient understanding of freedom-restricted interventions, and the inadequacy of the Delirium Observation Scale Score in patients with neurological and cognitive problems. Performance variability stemmed from timing issues, frequently attributable to time constraints.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>The most common reasons for deviating from the protocol are related to time constraints, lack of knowledge, and/or patient-related factors. Also, collaboration among relevant disciplines appears important to ensure good health outcomes. Future research endeavors could shed a light on the follow-up procedures of the screening process and roles of other disciplines, such as physiotherapists.</p>","PeriodicalId":48901,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Patient Safety","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141861305","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
