This study was initiated to determine whether there is sufficient variation in enteral drug administration practices in hospitalized pediatric patients to result in adverse therapeutic consequences. A survey was developed and administered to nurses from three pediatric and six general hospitals. A total of 317 pediatric nurses responded. Results of the survey confirmed that the primary responsibility for administering enteral medications resides with the nurse. It also documented that many elements in the administration of enteral medications vary significantly among nurses, although nursing personnel expressed confidence in the efficacy of their individual drug administration techniques. Further quantitative evaluations of the efficacy of practices of enteral drug administration must be performed before meaningful standardization of drug administration techniques can be accomplished.
开展这项研究是为了确定住院儿科患者的肠内给药操作是否存在足够的差异，从而导致不良治疗后果。我们设计了一项调查问卷，并向来自三家儿科医院和六家综合医院的护士发放。共有317名儿科护士做出了回应。调查结果证实，肠内给药的主要责任在于护士。调查还记录表明，尽管护理人员对其个人给药技术的有效性表示有信心，但护士之间在肠内给药的许多环节上存在显著差异。在实现给药技术的有意义标准化之前，必须对肠内给药操作的有效性进行进一步的定量评估。
