Abstract:
Objective To investigate effect of Murphy's law on the nursing safety management of the hemodialysis patients. Methods 4598 hemodialysis cases in a blood purification center of a first class grade A hospital from April to July in 2011 was assigned as pre-implementation group.Then Murphy's law was used in the nursing practice.In the following,another 5683 hemodialysis cases from November in 2011 to January in 2012 were assigned as post-implementation group.The incidence of nursing risks and hemodialysis equipment failures were compared between the two groups.Result The incidences of nursing risks and hemodialysis equipment failures in the post-implementation group were significantly lower than those of the pre-implementation group(P<0.05).Conclusions Murphy’s law is effective for the declines of nursing manipulative defects and hemodialysis equipment failures.Besides,the law can be good for the strengthened awareness of safety and enhanced consciousness of all staff participating in the safety management so as to ensure the safety and quality of hemodialysis.
