Ítem Acceso abierto Factors involved in medication administration errors by nurses in the emergency department(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2017) Ilave Aguirre, Dora Ada; Santillan Barra, Johan David; Gómez Gonzales, Walter EdgarObjective: To determine the factors involved in medication administration errors by nurses in the Emergency Department. Materials and Methods: Systematic Reviews are an observational and retrospective research design that synthesizes the results of multiple primary studies. These are crucial in evidence-based nursing due to their rigorous methodology, identifying relevant studies to answer specific clinical practice questions. Results: A total of 10 articles were selected, with 20% from Iran, Mexico, and Colombia; 10% from Egypt, Brazil, Spain, and Jordan. The articles were predominantly cross-sectional studies, with 90% (n=9/10) from Iran, Mexico, Colombia, Brazil, Egypt, and Jordan, and 10% (n=1/10) systematic reviews from Spain. Of the articles reviewed, 60% (n=6/10) found that pharmacological ignorance was the main factor contributing to medication errors, 30% (n=3/10) pointed to work overload, and 10% (n=1/10) highlighted nurse-physician communication issues. Conclusions: The factors contributing to medication administration errors by nurses are pharmacological ignorance, work overload, and nurse-physician communication. These findings provide valuable information that can be used to improve medication administration practices and contribute to quality care by addressing the most prevalent factors.
