简要总结
This study checks how well nurses at Mansoura University Children's Hospital know about high-alert medications (HAMs). These are drugs that can cause serious harm if given incorrectly. We used a questionnaire to assess their knowledge and identify any gaps. The goal is to improve training and reduce medication errors in the hospital.
详细描述
Background:
Medication errors (MEs) are a major cause of patient harm, especially in pediatric settings. High-alert medications (HAMs) are drugs that carry a heightened risk of causing significant patient harm when used in error. Nurses play a critical role in the safe administration of HAMs. This hospital-wide audit aims to evaluate nurses' knowledge regarding the administration and regulation of HAMs at Mansoura University Children's Hospital.
Objectives:
- To assess the level of knowledge about HAMs among nurses.
- To identify factors associated with sufficient knowledge of HAMs.
