Abstract

Medical errors are a significant concern in healthcare settings, and critical care units are particularly vulnerable due to the high acuity and complexity of patient conditions. Nursing staff play a crucial role in patient care and are often involved in the frontline delivery of care, making them susceptible to errors. This study aims to explore strategies to reduce medical errors among critical care nursing staff. The study will use a mixed-methods approach, including a literature review, surveys, and interviews with critical care nursing staff. The literature review will provide an overview of the current state of medical errors in critical care settings and identify potential contributing factors. Surveys will be used to assess the prevalence of medical errors and the perceived barriers to error reduction among nursing staff. Additionally, interviews will be conducted to gather in-depth insights into the experiences and perspectives of nursing staff regarding medical errors and potential solutions. In conclusion, reducing medical errors among critical care nursing staff is a critical priority for improving patient safety and quality of care. This study will provide valuable insights into the factors contributing to medical errors and identify potential strategies for error reduction, ultimately contributing to the advancement of patient safety in critical care settings.
