With Rasmia Anabtawi, 2^nd Year PhD Candidate in Nursing, Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Hull. 

Abstract:

Critical care units are different from other hospital wards in that they require highly skilled healthcare providers who can work in a complex environment, and also require the use of advanced technologies to promote safety.

The main aim of this study is to explore the critical care environment and the factors that influence nurses’ approach towards medication administration safety in critical care units in Palestinian hospitals, this, in turn, will help in explaining how the critical care environment can be managed and maintained to ensure the safety of medication administration from the perspective of critical care nurses.

A qualitative research method, utilizing grounded theory techniques will be used in this study to explore the factors that influence nurses’ approach towards medication administration safety in critical care units. In order to achieve this purpose, an in-depth interview for collecting data from nurses will be used. The qualitative study design is the better method for this study to understand the factors that influence nurses’ approach to medication administration safety in a critical care environment in Palestinian hospitals. This study will address the question “What are the factors influencing the safety of medication administration in a critical care environment?”
