Abstract

Introduction: Drug order is an important patient care practice and also a life threatening event if not observed by the nurses. Objective: The current study aimed at comparing the types, causes, and Strategies of Medication Error reduction from the viewpoint of nursing Teachers and students. Materials and Methods: The current cross sectional study was conducted on nursing Teachers (n = 20) and students (n = 80) of School of Nursing and Midwifery of Ahvaz, Iran, in 2017. The data collection tool was a researcher-made questionnaire, which its validity was assessed based on the viewpoint of 10 faculty members. The test-retest method was used to determine the reliability of the questionnaire. Data were analyzed with SPSS version 16 using descriptive and inferential statistics. The significant level was <0. 05 for all tests. Results: The results showed that majority of Teachers (75%) observed at least once a Medication Error made by Nursing Students and 75. 48% of Nursing Students reported commitment in Medication Errors more than once. The commonest type of Medication Error from the viewpoints of Teachers (17. 3%) was the wrong drug, and high speed infusion from the viewpoint of Nursing Students (16. 49%). The main causes of Medication Errors from the viewpoint of Teachers were inadequate drug information (4. 95 ± 0. 22), and carelessness and distraction from the viewpoints of Nursing Students (4. 3 ± 0. 77). The most drugs involved in such errors are cefazolin, gentamicin, and ranitidine, respectively. The best Strategies to reduce medical errors from the viewpoints of Teachers (20. 89%) was the allocation of more time on the internship to develop drug information and dosages. The students (17. 90%) believed that a course of pharmacology for nursing care can be helpful. Discussion and Conclusion: Since Medication Errors are very evident from the viewpoint of nursing Teachers and students, designing a curriculum to develop drug information and reduce such errors is essential.
