ABSTRACT
Objective:To describe the characteristics and analyze risk factors for surgical items count near-miss errors stemming from the self-incident reports of staff nurses from operating room, to reduce the risk of counting surgical items and prevent the occurrence of the relative adverse events.Methods:This was a retrospective study. Used the self-made checklist to retrospect the surgical items count errors, relative characteristics and reasons from the operating room nurses of Department of Anesthesiology, Shandong Provincial Hospital Affiliated to Shandong First Medical University reported from January 2017 to December 2021. Grey Relational Analysis was used to analyze and identify the risk elements.Results:A total of 98 surgical items count near-miss errors were reported by nurses.The unclear items were mainly classified into 6 categories, of which 52.04% (51/98) were disposable surgical items, 24.49% (24/98) were fine parts of surgical instruments, 14.28% (14/98) were implants, 5.10% (5/98) were electrosurgical instruments, 3.06% (3/98) were power systems, and 1.02% (1/98) were medical lasers; the disposable surgical items were the highest risk of surgical items count near-miss errors (non-standard behaviors of surgeons ξ 1=0.333); among the 9 risk factors, non-standard behaviors of surgeons ( r1 = 0.673), instrument nurses improper operation ( r4 = 0.691) and surgeons errors ( r2 = 0.693) were the most important influence factors. Conclusions:Analyzing the possible system risk factors resulting from the near-miss error could be a useful method for nurses to generate hierarchical risk-control strategies and improve surgical items count safety for patients. This com prerent the occurrence of adverse events.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To explore the effect of healthcare failure mode and effect analysis (HFMEA) in reducing the incidence of nursing interruption with negative outcome in operating room, so as to maximize the smooth progress of the surgical process.Methods:This was a quasi experimental study. The gastrointestinal surgery room of Shandong Provincial Hospital Affiliated to Shandong First Medical University was selected for the study. According to the surgical sequence, 38 surgeries performed in the gastrointestinal surgery suite from August 15-30, 2021 were set as the control group, and the conventional healthcare cooperation model process was implemented; 42 surgeries performed from September 15-30, 2021 were set as the intervention group, and the operating room under the HFMEA model was implemented negative outcome care disruption event management process.A video tracking method combined with a surgical care disruption event register was used to investigate the occurrence of negative outcome care disruption events in the operating room, comparing the number, duration, source of disruption events and the incidence of near miss events in the operating room between the control group and the intervention group.Results:In the control group, there were 38 observed surgeries, 190 negative outcome care interruptions, negative outcome interruptions of (5.26 ± 1.02) min duration, and no near misses; in the intervention group, there were 42 observed surgeries, 84 negative outcome care interruptions, negative outcome interruptions of (2.06 ± 0.08) min duration, and no near misses. There were statistically significant differences in the number, duration of negative outcome care interruptions between the intervention group and the control group ( χ2 = - 18.71, t = - 20.28; all P<0.01). There was statistically significant difference in the source of negative outcome care interruptions between the intervention group and the control group ( χ2 = - 12.71, P<0.01). Conclusions:HFMEA model can effectively reduce the number of negative nursing interruptions in the operating room, shorten the duration of interruptions, and minimize potential safety hazards caused by nursing interruptions, which is conducive to ensuring the safety of patients.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To explore the effect of emergency rescue ability training of operating room nurses based on video tracking method, and provide reference for improving emergency ability of operating room nurses.Methods:This study was a quasi-experimental study. In March 2021, 85 nurses working in the Department of Anesthesiology and Surgery of the Provincial Hospital Affiliated to Shandong First Medical University were selected by cluster sampling method. We implemented a training program of rescue emergency ability based on video tracking and adopted the inspection list of rescue emergency ability assessment and doctors′ satisfaction questionnaire of operating room nurses to evaluate the scores of each item in the nurses' rescue emergency ability list and doctors' satisfaction of rescue cooperation of operating room nurses.Results:The scores of the dimensions of recognition of fatal arrhythmias, fatal arrhythmia, several situations that can directly call help, writing of emergency state nursing records and handover of medical records, use of defibrillator, correct use and maintenance of negative pressure attraction, use and management of rescue vehicle and situation disposal in the inspection list of rescue ability after training were 9.80 ± 1.61, 26.06 ± 2.20, 17.34 ± 1.29, 13.00 ± 1.57, 7.35 ± 0.74, 10.24 ± 1.14, 33.89 ± 2.73, which were higher than before training 9.24 ± 1.18, 24.92 ± 2.15, 15.69 ± 1.92, 12.21 ± 1.66, 6.55 ± 0.92, 8.94 ± 1.32, 32.94 ± 2.20. The differences were statistically significant ( t values were -6.83 to -2.51, all P<0.05); after the training, in the questionnaire of doctors' satisfaction with nurses, surgical materials and instruments preparation, first aid skill operating level, attention to surgical progress, active and correct delivery, orderly and busy, coordination and communication ability, professional knowledge, evaluation ability and foresight, ability to deal with emergencies, clear division of labor and good cooperation, and responsibility scores were 4.22 ± 0.58, 4.52 ± 0.54, 4.53 ± 0.47, 4.43 ± 0.58, 4.44 ± 0.44, 4.37 ± 0. 59, 4.45 ± 0.51, 4.51 ± 0.53, 4.51 ± 0.57, 4.17 ± 0.63, which were higher than the pre-training 4.05 ± 0.58, 4.38 ± 0.56, 4.26 ± 0.76, 4.04 ± 0.67, 4.25 ± 0.62, 4.19 ± 0.74, 4.25 ± 0.74, 4.34 ± 0.67, 4.21 ± 0.84 and 3.56 ± 0.58. All differences were statistically significant ( t values were -8.22 to -2.10, all P<0.05). Conclusions:The training method based on video tracking method improved the emergency rescue ability of operating room nurses and the doctor's satisfaction with rescue cooperation, and provided a reference for the training of operating room nurses.
