Journal Title: The Journal of Pediatric Research - Year 2020, Vol 7, Issue 1
Abstract
Aim: This study was carried out in order to determine patient safety related implementations of nurses working in neonatal intensive care. Materials and Methods: This descriptive study was carried out in Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICU) in six hospitals in Konya city center between April and May 2012. Ninety-six nurses working in intensive care units participated in this survey. Newborn Patient Safety Survey Form was used in this study. The analysis of the data was done by number, percentage, Kruskall-Wallis, Man-Whitney U and Independent t tests. Results: It was seen that nurses scored most in interventions regarding falling among the fields of patient safety implementations (92.42±6.36). A meaningful difference was found between NICU nurses’ state of education and patient safety intervention regarding the medication score average (p<0.05) and also nurses’ working years and patient safety intervention regarding identity implementations score average (p<0.05). Conclusion: It was determined that nurses implemented interventions regarding falling most among patient safety implementations. It was seen that patient safety implementations of nurses were related to their state of education, working years, the number of patients cared for daily, and also receiving patient safety training.
