Medication errors which can cause several medical malfunctions, have been in the spotlight recently. Job satisfaction and fatigue seems to be related to the increase of medication errors in nursing.
This study aimed to determine the correlation between the amount and type of medication errors with job satisfaction and fatigue of nurses working in Shahid Sadoughi hospital in Yazd-Iran.
This is a descriptive study by a cross-sectional and correlational approach conducted on all the nurses working in an educational hospital who have characteristics of samples. Participants were 170 nurses working in Shahid Sadooghi hospital in Yazd, Iran in 2012. The questionnaires of demographic characteristics, medication administration error and nurses' job satisfaction and fatigue by purposive sampling were used for gathering data. Validity and reliability were checked for internal consistency and stability. Data were analysed by SPSS version 17 using Pearson correlation coefficient and Independent-samples t-test.
The findings did not illustrate a significant relationship between job satisfaction and fatigue with medication errors. Among the demographic characteristics, age of nurses was significantly associated with the frequency of medication errors (p=0.037). However, others were not significantly correlated (p>0.05).
In spite of the findings, based on no significant statistical relationship between job satisfaction and fatigue with the type and amount of medication errors in nursing, the effect of these variables on medication errors cannot be disregarded; thus further studies in this area are suggested.
可导致多种医疗故障的用药错误近来备受关注。工作满意度和疲劳似乎与护理工作中用药错误的增加有关。
本研究旨在确定伊朗亚兹德市沙希德·萨杜基医院护士的用药错误数量和类型与工作满意度及疲劳之间的相关性。
这是一项采用横断面和相关性方法的描述性研究，对象为一所教学医院中具有样本特征的所有护士。参与者为2012年在伊朗亚兹德市沙希德·萨杜基医院工作的170名护士。通过目的抽样使用人口统计学特征问卷、用药管理错误问卷以及护士工作满意度和疲劳问卷来收集数据。对内部一致性和稳定性进行了效度和信度检验。使用SPSS 17版软件，通过Pearson相关系数和独立样本t检验对数据进行分析。
研究结果未表明工作满意度和疲劳与用药错误之间存在显著关系。在人口统计学特征中，护士年龄与用药错误频率显著相关（p = 0.037）。然而，其他因素无显著相关性（p > 0.05）。
尽管有这些研究结果，但鉴于护理工作中工作满意度和疲劳与用药错误的类型和数量之间不存在显著的统计关系，这些变量对用药错误的影响不可忽视；因此建议在该领域进一步开展研究。
