The administration of medicines is a role that fundamentally impacts on the wellbeing of the patient and has been described as one of the highest risk activities that a nurse undertakes. This article reports on the Medicine with Respect Project where collaborating organisations sought to improve the education and training of Mental Health Nurses toward safe and competence practice. Focus groups were used to evaluate stakeholders experiences and what emerged was overall satisfaction but with specific suggestions in how to improve the effectiveness of the project. All groups emphasised that all nurses in administering medicines should undergo a rigorous assessment of their medicines administration performance. This would make the ultimate aim of competent and safe practice more achievable.
给药是一项对患者的健康有着重大影响的工作,被描述为护士从事的风险最高的活动之一。本文报告了“尊重药物项目”,合作组织试图通过该项目提高精神科护士的教育和培训,以实现安全和胜任的实践。使用焦点小组来评估利益相关者的经验,结果是总体满意度,但具体建议如何提高项目的效果。所有团体都强调,所有给药的护士都应该对其给药操作进行严格的评估。这将使胜任和安全实践的最终目标更具可操作性。
