To describe the associations of psychological burnout and time factors on hospital nurses' medication errors.
A cross-sectional survey design was used.
A structured questionnaire pertaining to psychological burnout, time factors and medication error was administered to 200 bedside nurses working at two tertiary university hospitals in Korea. The associations between the psychological burnout, time factor and medication error were analysed with the zero-inflated negative binomial regression for over-dispersed and over-abundant zeros count data.
Higher psychological burnout, shorter meal time during duty and longer weekly overtime were associated with an increased likelihood of medication error of nurses working in tertiary university hospitals. For medication safety, nurse managers should provide appropriate administrative support to nurses to cope with psychological burnout of nurses. Work time management should also be considered as human factors to satisfy the needs of nurses, such as securing meal times and maintaining a low level of weekly overtime.
描述心理倦怠和时间因素与医院护士用药错误的关联。
采用横断面调查设计。
对韩国两所三级大学附属医院的 200 名床边护士进行了一项关于心理倦怠、时间因素和用药错误的结构化问卷调查。采用零膨胀负二项回归分析对过度分散和过度丰富的零计数数据进行了心理倦怠、时间因素与用药错误之间的关联分析。
较高的心理倦怠、值班期间较短的用餐时间和较长的每周加班时间与三级大学附属医院护士用药错误的可能性增加相关。为了确保用药安全,护士管理人员应为护士提供适当的行政支持,以应对护士的心理倦怠。还应考虑工时管理作为满足护士需求的人为因素,例如确保用餐时间和保持低水平的每周加班。
