Abstract:
Objective To describe the current status of recovery of nursing errors by ICU nurses, so as to explore its influencing factors. Methods Totally 220 nurses from 14 ICUs of 4 Class Ⅲ grade A hospitals in Guangzhou were selected by random sampling and investigated in their recovery of nursing errors with the recovery of nursing error questionnaire designed with reference to Recovered Medical Error Inventory (RMEI) between October and December 2014. Results The top three errors most often found among ICU nurses were improper fixing or displacement of tube, nurses' failure to restrain restless patients or inappropriate restraints, and unplanned extubation. According to the multivariate linear analysis, the number of working years, title and department, when included into the regression equation, could account for 21.7% of the nursing error variation by ICU nurses. Conclusions ICU nurses can promptly recover nursing errors. The job title, department and length of service can affect nurses' behavior in recovery of nursing errors, and nursing managers can train nurses with related knowledge to timely recovery of nursing errors and enhance their ability to recover nursing errors.
