چکیده مقاله:

Background and aim: One of the goals of nursing is to provide safe care, and medication errors are one of the threats to patients' safety and various factors such as workplace conditions can affect its incidence. This study aimed to determine the relationship between medication errors and the nursing work environment index.Materials and method: This is a cross-sectional study in which ۳۰۰ nurses were enrolled by stratified proportional sampling. Information was collected using the form of individual characteristics, the standard scale of work environment index, and a researcher-made questionnaire on the occurrence of medication errors. Data were analyzed using Pearson, Kruskal-Wallis, independent t-tests, and linear regression under SPSS statistical software.Results: The average score of nurse work environment was ۷۴.۴۱±۱۵.۶ and medication error was ۳۸.۹۶±۶.۰۴. A good relationship between physician and nurse and a sufficient number of nurses was directly related to reducing medication errors. Age of people (r = -۰.۲۲, p = ۰.۰۰۱), overall work experience (r = -۰.۲۱, p = ۰.۰۰۱), marital status (r = -۰.۰۳, p = ۰.۰۰۱), and the experience in the current section showed the highest correlation.Conclusion: There was a relationship between medication errors and adequate number of the nursing staff and cooperative relationship between physician and nurse, therefore medication errors can be reduced by holding classes and workshops to improve the physician-nurse relationship and increase the number of nursing staff.
