Examination of Nursing Students’ Opinions, Experiences and Attitudes Toward Medical Errors: A Cross-sectional Study
Öz: Aim: The aim of this study was to reveal nursing students’ opinions, experiences, and attitudes toward medical errors. Method: This descriptive and cross-sectional study was conducted among 465 third and fourth-year nursing students in Turkey. Data were collected between March-June 2017 using a demographic information form and the Medical Error Attitude Scale. Data analysis was performed using descriptive statistics of mean, standard deviation, number, and percentage and the Mann-Whitney U test. Results: The majority of students stated that they did not make any medical errors in clinical practice (76.8%) and if they made any medical error, they said they would report it to the charge nurse (72.7%). Only 5.8% of the students stated that they reported the medical error they made. While the students’ total Scale of Attitudes toward Medical Errors mean score was 3.78 (SD=0.47), the subscale mean scores were determined to be 2.79 (SD=0.71) in the medical error perception, 3.94 (SD=0.60) in the approach to medical errors, and 3.90 (SD=0.59) in the causes of medical errors subscale. There were statistically significant differences between gender, age group, and class year of students and the Scale of Attitudes toward Medical Errors total and subscale mean scores (p<0.05; p<0.01). Conclusion: Nursing students’ attitudes toward the approach to medical errors, causes of medical errors, and general medical errors were positive. In contrast, their attitude toward the medical error perception was negative. This result indicates that students’ awareness of medical errors and the importance of error reporting is high. Moreover, while the majority of the students stated that they did not make medical errors in their clinical practice, they stated that the majority of medical errors were caused by doctors and nurses.
Anahtar Kelime: Hemşirelik Öğrencilerinin Tıbbi Hatalara İlişkin Görüş, Deneyim ve Tutumlarının İncelenmesi: Kesitsel Bir Çalışma
Öz: Amaç: Bu çalışma, hemşirelik öğrencilerinin tıbbi hatalara ilişkin görüş, deneyim ve tutumlarını ortaya koymak amacıyla gerçekleştirilmiştir. Yöntem: Tanımlayıcı ve kesitsel tipteki bu araştırma, Türkiye’de 465 üçüncü ve dördüncü sınıf hemşirelik öğrencisi ile yürütülmüştür. Veriler, Mart-Haziran 2017 tarihleri arasında Tanımlayıcı Bilgi Formu ve Tıbbi Hatalarda Tutum Ölçeği kullanılarak toplanmıştır. Verilerin analizi; ortalama, standart sapma, sayı ve yüzdelik tanımlayıcı istatistikleri ve Mann Whitney U testi kullanılarak gerçekleştirilmiştir. Bulgular: Öğrenciler çoğunlukla klinik uygulamalarda herhangi bir tıbbi hata yapmadıklarını (%76,8), herhangi bir tıbbi hata yapmaları durumunda ise sorumlu hemşireye (%72,7) bildireceklerini belirtmişlerdir. Öğrencilerin sadece %5,8’i yaptıkları tıbbi hatayı raporladıklarını vurgulamıştır. Öğrencilerin Tıbbi Hata Tutum Ölçeği toplam puan ortalaması 3,78 (SS=0,47) iken alt boyut puan ortalamaları, tıbbi hata algısında 2,79 (SS=0,71), tıbbi hatalara yaklaşımda 3,94 (SS=0,60) ve tıbbi hata nedenlerinde 3,90 (SS=0,59) olarak belirlenmiştir. Öğrencilerin cinsiyeti, yaş grubu ve sınıfı ile tıbbı hata tutum ölçeği toplamı ve alt boyut puan ortalamaları arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı farklılıklar bulunmuştur (p<0,05; p<0,01). Sonuç: Çalışmada, hemşirelik öğrencilerinin tıbbi hatalara yaklaşım, tıbbi hataların nedenleri ve genel olarak tıbbi hatalara yönelik tutumları olumlu bulunmakla birlikte, tıbbi hata algısına yönelik tutumları olumsuz olarak belirlenmiştir. Bu sonuç, öğrencilerin tıbbi hatalar ve hata bildiriminin önemine ilişkin farkındalıklarının yüksek olduğunu göstermektedir. Ayrıca öğrencilerin çoğunluğu klinik uygulamalarında hata yapmadıklarını belirtirken, tıbbi hataların çoğunluğunun doktor ve hemşirelerden kaynaklandığını belirtmişlerdir.
