Administering medication is an important function of registered nurses. It is therefore necessary that nursing students develop knowledge and skill in this field. Given the propensity for, and negative consequences of, medication errors, it is essential that nursing students are property supervised in this role. There is currently a paucity of research examining the practices of supervising medication administration by nursing students, particularly from the perspectives of registered nurses. The aim of this study was to explore the opinions and insights of registered nurses regarding the supervision of nursing students administering medication. Focus groups were conducted with registered nurses with experience of working with students in the clinical environment. Focus groups were transcribed verbatim and data analysis was conducted using the five stage framework approach. Four main themes were identified that reflected the participants' views of the factors most strongly influencing the provision of supervision: communication, busyness, attitudes, and pressure to conform. The participants identified the importance of providing student supervision and suggested strategies for improvement, such as a closer working relationship between the clinical facilitator and the registered nurses providing supervision.
给药是注册护士的一项重要职责。因此,护理专业学生有必要在该领域培养知识和技能。鉴于用药错误的倾向及其负面后果,对护理专业学生在这一职责中的监督至关重要。目前,关于监督护理专业学生给药实践的研究较少,尤其是从注册护士的角度。本研究的目的是探讨注册护士对监督护理专业学生给药的看法和见解。对有在临床环境中与学生合作经验的注册护士进行了焦点小组访谈。焦点小组访谈内容逐字记录,并采用五阶段框架法进行数据分析。确定了四个主要主题,反映了参与者对最强烈影响监督提供的因素的看法:沟通、忙碌程度、态度和从众压力。参与者认识到提供学生监督的重要性,并提出了改进策略,如临床辅导员与提供监督的注册护士之间建立更密切的工作关系。
