This study identifies the prevalence of medication errors in ICUs reported by nursing professionals, compares the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) Errores de medicación y calidad de vida relacionada a la salud de profesionales de enfermería en Unidades de Terapia IntensivaEste estudio tuvo como objetivos: identificar la prevalencia de errores de medicación en UTI relatados por profesionales de enfermería; comparar la calidad de vida relacionada a la salud (CVRS) y las alteraciones en el estado de salud de los profesionales envueltos y no envueltos con errores de medicación. Fueron investigados 94 profesionales de tres UTIs de un hospital privado, siendo 39 enfermeros (41,5%) y 55 (58,5%) técnicos de enfermería. La CVRS fue evaluada por la versión en portugués del instrumento SF-36. Dieciocho profesionales (19,1%) mencionaron haber cometido errores en el mes anterior a la investigación. Los errores fueron notificados en 61,1% de los casos y los más frecuentes fueron los encontrados en la fase de administración (67,8%). Los profesionales que relataron errores de medicación tuvieron tendencia al peor estado de salud, cuando comparados a los que no relataron errores.

“…A study by Barkhordari, et al which aimed to investigate the relationship between quality of life and the accidents, the results showed that the mean scores of quality of life there is a significant difference between the two groups in two physical pain and role limitations (Barkhordari, 2010). In a study by Claudia Maria Monterio et al in 2009 on the victims of accidents, the difference was statistically significant in the dimension of physical pain (Monteiro, 2009). Also, in the study by Jason Noble there was a significant difference in the role limitation that is consistent with the present results (Noble, 2006).…”

With the development of science and technology, occupational accidents, as one of the most important problems in the world, result in negative effects on physical and psychological health, and also the quality of life of workers. The aim of this study was to compare the quality of life among workers with and without accident. In a cross-sectional study, 93 workers were selected, 31 who experienced accident and 62 as control group. To gather the data, a researcher-made questionnaire for demographic characteristics and the quality of life questionnaire (SF-36) were used. Mann-Whitney and Chi-square tests were used for data analysis. The mean and standard deviation of age was 30.81±7.29 and 30.56±7.19 in workers with accident (case group) and control group, respectively. Homogeneity was ensured in terms of age and work experience and the two groups had no significant difference in this regard (p>0.05). Most of the participants were high school graduates (67.7%). The majority of accidents (68.8%) had occurred in the manufacturing sections. The most common accident type was sprayed chemical substances (19.4%) and the less frequent was electrocution (3.2%). The mean total score for the quality of life was 37.61±14.29 and 74.92±12.95 in the case and control groups with a statistical significance difference (p<0.001). The results of this study indicate that the incident could affect the quality of life of workers. Therefore, promoting the safety culture can help to reduce the occupational accidents.

“…The results show that there is a great difference between average scores of life quality of injured (50.43 ± 26.25) and uninjured individuals (70.72 ± 26.01) in terms of bodily pain, which is similar to the results reported by Monteiro et al on injured people in three hospitals of Brazil during the year 2009 (16). Pain and suffering which varies from weak specter, local discomfort to the malaise could be one of the consequences of an accident, required to be taken into consideration.…”

Background: Occupational accidents are a major problem in industries and work environments. Objectives: This study aimed to study the relationship between workers' life quality and occupational accidents. Materials and Methods: This historical cohort study was conducted on 114 wood industry workers (living in the North of Iran) involved in a job related accident over the past 10 years. Among those with no job-related accidents, 118 workers were randomly selected so that both groups were comparable in terms of age, work history and type of job. Standardized form of SF36 for the Iranian culture was used to determine the life quality of workers. Furthermore, demographic factors were added to the SF36 questionnaire. Data were analyzed with the two independent samples t-test, Mann-Whitney and Chi-square test using the SPSS 19 software. Results: In this survey average scores for different aspects of life quality in the case group and control group were as follows, physical functioning 67.23 ± 2.413 and 81.99 ± 2.193 and mental health 59.12 ± 16.76 and 71.52 ± 18.14, respectively. There was an obvious and significant difference (P < 0.05) between physical and mental health of injured workers' life quality compared to the uninjured group (control group). The results showed that all eight domains of life quality except limitations due to emotional problems were significantly different between the study and control groups. Conclusions:The results of this study show that unsafe work condition and high-risk behavior of workers lead to job-related accidents which affect worker's health and their life quality.
