Abstract

Background and purpose: Medication errors today is discussed as a main concern in the health care systems and are used as an indicator for determining the level of patients safety in hospitals. We conducted this study with the purpose of evaluating MEDICAL ERRORS among INTENSIVE CARE nurses.Materials and methods: In our descriptive study the research population composed of nurses working in INTENSIVE CARE units of Imam Khomeini Hospital Complex, Tehran, 2011. 64 nurses were randomly selected and asked to answer to a researcher made questionnaire. The data were analyzed by SPSS version 16 using descriptive and inferential statistics.Results: %73/43, % 42/55 and % 57/44 of nurses reported the occurrence, verge of occurrence and not occurrence of MEDICAL ERRORS respectively. The most common type of medication errors were infusion rate and amount of drugs due to use of drug’s abbreviated names and existence of similarities among drugs names. The most important causes of medication errors was lack of pharmacological information.Conclusion: Since the risk of medication errors among nurses is high therefore we recommend that retraining courses about pharmacological information, modification of education process (curriculum), encourage nurses to report MEDICAL ERRORS and also encourage hospital managers to positive response to errors is essential.
