A web-based descriptive cross-sectional questionnaire was conducted using the \"Google Forms\" on physiotherapy and rehabilitation students in the months of February, March, and April 2021.

While a variety of rules and regulations provided to reduce medication errors in recent years, many studies have emphasized that medication errors still happen.\u0000\u0000\u0000OBJECTIVE\u0000The purpose of this investigation is to predict, reveal and assess medication errors among surgical intensive care unit (SICU) nurses.\u0000\u0000\u0000METHODS\u0000This study was performed in one of the public hospitals in Shiraz, namely Shahid Faghihi hospital. The human error assessment and reduction technique (HEART) method was adopted to measure and assess medication errors in the ICU.\u0000\u0000\u0000RESULTS\u0000Findings indicate that ICU nurses perform 27 main tasks and 125 sub-tasks.

Therefore, alternative solutions to mitigate medication errors and enhance patient safety in the ICU are necessary. Although the technique can be used in healthcare; there is a need to localize the coefficients and definitions to achieve more accurate results and take appropriate controls. Employing experienced people and providing conditions that reduce the possibility of errors in nurses, increasing the number of staff, and developing specialized and simulated training were identified as the most important control strategies to reduce errors in nurses.","PeriodicalId":49090,"journal":{"name":"Cognition Technology & Work","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2022-05-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90512224","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
