The primary purpose of this study was to examine the previously untested relationships between moral distress, compassion fatigue, perceptions about medication errors, and nurse characteristics in a national sample of 205 certified critical care nurses. In addition, this study included a qualitative exploration of the phenomenon of medication errors in a smaller subset of certified critical care nurses. Results revealed statistically significant correlations between moral distress, compassion fatigue, and perceptions about medication errors in this group. Implications for critical care nurses seeking to create work environments conducive to the reduction of medication errors are explored.
本研究的主要目的是在一个由205名注册重症监护护士组成的全国样本中，检验道德困扰、同情疲劳、对用药错误的认知与护士特征之间此前未经检验的关系。此外，本研究还对一小部分注册重症监护护士群体中用药错误现象进行了定性探索。结果显示，该群体中道德困扰、同情疲劳与对用药错误的认知之间存在统计学上的显著相关性。本文探讨了对寻求营造有助于减少用药错误的工作环境的重症监护护士的启示。
