Abstract:

Background and Objectives: The dangerous events caused by medication errors are one of the main challenges faced in critical care units. The present study was conducted to determine the frequency of non-injectable medication administration errors and their causes in nurses of cardiac critical care units in Mazandaran province.

Of the total of 240 nurses working in these departments, 192 participated in the present study. The data collection tools used in this study included 3 questionnaires. The data obtained were analyzed by using descriptive statistics such as absolute frequency, relative frequency, mean and standard deviation. Results: The nurses reported 145 non-injectable medication administration errors. The most common non-injectable medication error pertained to administering the wrong dose (n=56 and 38.6%). As for the causes of non-injectable medication administration errors, 43.5% of the errors were associated with transcription, 25.5% with communication, 17.2% with work conditions, 11% with packaging and 2.8% with pharmacies. Of all the non-injectable medication errors committed, 90.3% had no consequences for the patients.
