Abstract

Aim: This study aimed to determine the effect of nurses' patient handover efficiency on the level of tendency to medical error. Methods: This study was conducted with 120 voluntarily participated nurses working in the inpatient services of a university hospital between March-April 2019. Demographic data form, Nursing Handover Evaluation Scale and Medical Malpractice Tendency in Nursing Scale were used to collect the data. Results: 96.7% stated patient handover is a necessary practice, 90% always pay attention to highlight critical points in each shift according to the general condition of the patient. A weak and positive correlation was found between nurses' efficiency of handover and their tendency to medical error (r:0.34; p:0.00). Conclusion: The nurses had positive opinions about the need for an effective handover application. Nurses pay attention to being planned and organized during handovers. Another important finding of the study is that effective handover reduces the tendency to medical errors.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı hemşirelerin hasta teslim etkinliğinin tıbbi hataya eğilim düzeyleri üzerine etkisini belirlemektir. Yöntem: Bu çalışma Mart-Nisan 2019 tarihleri arasında bir üniversite hastanesi yataklı servislerinde çalışan ve araştırmaya katılmaya gönüllü olan toplam 120 hemşire oluşturmuştur. Verilerin toplanmasında demografik veri formu, Nöbet devir teslim değerlendirme ölçeği ve Hemşirelikte tıbbi hataya eğilim ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Hemşirelerin %96,7’si hasta devir teslim işleminin gerekli bir uygulama olduğunu, %90 hastanın genel durumuna göre her vardiyada kritik noktaların vurgulanmasına her zaman dikkat ettiklerini belirtti. Hemşirelerin nöbet devir teslim etkinliği ile tıbbi hataya eğilim düzeyi arasında zayıf düzeyde ve pozitif yönde olumlu bir ilişki bulundu (r:0,34; p:0,00). Sonuç: Çalışmaya katılan hemşirelerin nöbet devir teslim uygulamasının etkin olması gerektiği ile ilgili olumlu görüşleri olduğu bulunmuştur. Hemşireler teslim sırasında planlı ve organize olmaya dikkat etmektedir. Bunun yanında çalışmada nöbet devir tesliminin etkin olarak yapılmasının tıbbi hataya eğilimi azaltması ise çalışmanın önemli bir diğer bulgusudur.
