“…Steffan et al 31 claimed that lack of awareness to address the developmental stage of the new nurses may cause problems. The clinical setting is stressful, and the nurses should be prepared to perform correct and accurate medication administration 17 . This may explain the statements of many participants that lack of knowledge and skills is one of the leading causes for MEs in Jordan.…”

“…The causes of MEs are not limited to specific health professionals, therefore, physicians, pharmacists, and nurses should be qualified and trained enough to deal with medication administration. 17 Most of the scenarios in hospitals have similar contents; the nurses receive medication requests from physicians and analyze them, and then follow the administration process with pharmacists. The final process of giving medication to the patients is usually considered the nurses' duty.…”

Aims: The aim of this study was to investigate nurses' experiences related to medication errors (MEs) from the perspective of Jordanian nurses. This article reports the findings concerning the factors that cause MEs from the perspectives of Jordanian nurses.Background: MEs are critical issues facing healthcare providers and health institutions. Most of the studies on MEs were conducted in Western countries.However, there is little research that seeks to understand this issue in the developing countries and Jordan is one of these countries.Design: A qualitative descriptive approach was used in three hospitals in different clinical settings in Jordan.Methods: Individual semi-structured face-to-face interviews were conducted with 24 nurses. Results:The data that emerged from the interviews was arranged and contextualized in two major themes, individual and systemic factors, that explained the main causes of MEs. From the individual side, lack of knowledge and experience ranked as the highest concerns, and from the systematic side workload was the most important factor. Conclusion:This study provides an opportunity for stakeholders and Jordanian managers to increase their awareness of these factors and address them in the future, thereby increasing the level of care provided in their health organizations.

“…In a simulated scenario-based study, it was found that students in the control group failed to consider the drug powder volume (Kuo et al, 2020). Another study was conducted by Kim and Lee (2020). In this study, the students were included in the Medication Error Encouragement Training (MEET) program and their competencies were tested.…”

“…The Drug Application Errors Checklist was created based on the literature within the scope of the study. The order of action in the Drug Application Errors Checklist was prepared according to the specified literature (Bülbül et al, 2014;Kim & Lee, 2020;Musharyanti et al, 2019;Sears et al, 2016). After the "Checklist" was prepared, approval was obtained from two experts in the field of pediatric nursing.…”

Objective: This study aimed to detect nursing students' drug medication errors in pediatric patients. Methods:The study used a comparative descriptive and qualitative design and was carried out after the necessary ethical and official permissions had been obtained. The universe of the research consisted of the students of the Faculty of Nursing. The sample of the study included 94 students (third-year n=47 and fourth-year n=47). A laboratory of the Faculty of Nursing was simulated as a room where a nurse provides treatment. The students who participated in the study with the determined drug order were asked to prepare the drugs with the most appropriate technique, and they were observed by the researchers. Data were collected one by one by the researchers using a drug medication errors checklist prepared by the researchers. Results:The third-year students did not consider dry powder dosage and obtained the lowest score (X =0.68). The fourth-year students did not attach the right label on the drug taken and received the lowest score (X =0.42). The third-year students were more successful in attaching the right label on the remaining drug (p=0.20) and the fourth-year students were more successful in observing aseptic rules (p=0.03). Students in both groups ignored the dry powder dosage of the drug in total and earned the lowest score from this practice (X =0.64). Conclusion:Drug medication errors committed by the students in both groups were high, and the students did not consider dry powder dosage when reconstituting the drug. ÖZAmaç: Bu çalışmada hemşirelik öğrencilerinin çocuk hastalarda ilaç uygulama hatalarınının belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır.Yöntem: Araştırma karşılaştırmalı tanımlayıcı ve niteliksel türde tasarlanmış ve gerekli etik ve resmi izinler alındıktan sonra gerçekleştirilmiştir. Araştırmanın evrenini Hemşirelik Fakültesi öğrencileri oluşturmuştur. Örnekleme ise 94 öğrenci (üçüncü sınıf n=47 ve dördüncü sınıf n=47) dahil edilmiştir. Hemşirelik Fakültesi laboratuvarı, hemşirelik tedavi odası şeklinde simüle edilmiştir. Belirlenen ilaç sırası ile çalışmaya katılan öğrencilerden ilaçları en uygun teknikle hazırlamaları istenmiş ve araştırmacılar tarafından gözlemlenmiştir. Veriler, araştırmacılar tarafından hazırlanan ilaç uygulama hataları kontrol listesi kullanılarak tek tek toplanmıştır.Bulgular: Üçüncü sınıf öğrencilerin ilaç kuru toz hacmini dikkate almadığı ve en düşük puanı aldıkları belirlendi (X =0.68). Dördüncü sınıf öğrencilerinin kalan ilaca doğru etiketi yapıştırmadığı ve en düşük puanı aldıkları bulundu (X =0.42). Üçüncü sınıf öğrencileri kalan ilaca doğru etiketi yapıştırmada daha başarılı (p=0.20) ve dördüncü sınıf öğrencileri aseptik kurallara uymada daha başarılı olduğu tespit edildi (p=0.03). Her iki gruptaki öğrencilerin ilaçların kuru toz hacmini göz ardı ettiği ve bu uygulamadan en düşük puanı aldıkları bulundu (X =0.64).Sonuç: Her iki gruptaki öğrencilerin yaptığı ilaç uygulama hatalarının yüksek olduğu ve öğrenciler ilacı sulandırırken kuru toz hacmini dikkate almadığı görüldü.
