Abstract

ObjectivesOrganized triage has been useful method in immediate classification of large number of patients. Urgent intervention and evaluation of patients in Emergency Department result in shorter patient waiting time and, therefore, intensifying the quality of supervision. This study aimed at determining the causes of delays in patient triage in Emergency Departments (EDs) in the city of Tabriz.MethodsThis descriptive study was conducted in 18 hospitals of Tabriz, Iran. A questionnaire developed for this study was the only tool used in data collection. They were filled in by selected sample of ED staff, consisting 22 physicians and 135 nurses. The data was analyzed using the SPSS v.15.0 statistical software and descriptive analyses were used.ResultsFindings of this study indicate that 75% of the survey was conducted in public and 25% in private hospitals. Based on the study results, major reasons of delay in patients priority processing include shortage of nursing staff (65%), large number of patients (50.3%), shortage of medical staff (38.2%), shortage of hospital resources (31.2%), shortage of medical equipment (26.8%), patients evaluation (13.4%), diagnostic tests (12.1%), advanced age of patients (5.7%), early age of patients (5.1%).ConclusionsResults of the study indicate that some of the major reasons of delay in priority processing of patients include shortage of nursing staff and large number of patients. Therefore, increasing staff number can be an efficient way to effectively manage the patient population in Emergency Department

Özet

Amaç Organize triaj sistemleri, çok sayıda hastanın hızlı bir şekilde sınıflandırılması için kullanışlı bir yöntem olagelmiştir. Acil servis hastalarındaki hızlı değerlendirme ve girişim, bekleme zamanını kısaltmakta, bu da hasta bakım kalitesini artırmaktadır. Bu çalışma, Tebriz kentindeki hastanelerin acil servislerinde hastaların triajında görülen gecikme nedenlerini araştırmaktadır.Gereç ve YöntemBu tanımlayıcı çalışma, Tebriz'de (İran) bulunan 18 hastanede gerçekleştirildi. Bu çalışmada verileri toplamak için bir anket formu oluşturuldu. Formlar, seçilmiş acil servis personelince dolduruldu. Katılımcıların 22'si acil servis hekimi ve 135'i hemşireydi. Veriler SPSS v.15 istatistik programında analiz edildi ve tanımlayıcı istatistik yöntemleri kullanıldı.BulgularKatılımcıların %75'i devlet, %25'i ise özel hastane çalışanıydı. Hastaların triajında gecikmelerin en önemli nedenleri arasında yetersiz hemşire sayısı (%65), hasta sayısının fazlalığı (%50.3), sağlık personeli eksikliği (%38.2), hastane kaynaklarının yetersizliği (%31.2), tıbbi ekipman eksikliği (%26.8), hastaların değerlendirilmesi (%13.4), tanısal testler (%12.1), hastaların ileri yaşta olması (%5.7) ve hastaların genç yaşta olması (%5.1) bulunmaktadır.Sonuç Çalışma sonuçlarımız, acil servis triajındaki gecikmenin en temel nedenlerinin hemşire sayısındaki eksiklik ve yüksek hasta sayısı olduğunu göstermiştir. Bu nedenle, personel sayısının artırılması, acil servisteki hastaların daha etkin yönetilmesine yardım edebilir
