Abstract

Background: Patient safety is crucial in healthcare, with medication being a key component in assessing quality. Medication errors, which are unintended issues in the drug administration process, can occur at any stage—prescribing, dispensing, storing, preparing, or administering and pose serious risks to patients. Defined as accidental failures in the drug-treatment process, these errors contribute significantly to preventable adverse events and public health burdens. Addressing medication errors requires a thorough and comprehensive approach to minimize their impact. Purpose: To assess and enhance nurses' understanding of medication errors, their causes, and preventive strategies through a comprehensive medication safety program. Method: A quantitative, single-group, non-randomized quasi-experimental design with pre- and post-tests. It involved 57 registered nurses from healthcare facilities. Data were collected before and after the program intervention using self-administered questionnaires and objective structured clinical examinations (OSCE). Analysis was performed using SPSS version 22. Results: Significant improvements in nurses' knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding medication safety. The percentage of participants with "Very Good" knowledge increased from 0% before the program to 45.6% afterward, while those with poor knowledge decreased from 68.4% to 15.8%. Good attitudes dropped to 5% post-intervention, and the mean score for practices increased to 16.6667 following the program. Conclusion: The medication safety education program significantly enhanced nurses' Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices (KAP), leading to a notable reduction in medication errors. The program fostered collaborative learning among healthcare personnel, improved patient outcomes, and increased nurses' confidence in medication administration. It also clarified roles within the healthcare team and promoted a culture of open communication and teamwork, which is vital for patient safety.

Abstract

Introduction: Adolescents constitute a significant demographic group susceptible to the development of the HIV/AIDS epidemic. The year 2020 witnessed a rise in the number of HIV/AIDS cases, with a notable concentration among individuals aged 20-29 years. Consequently, preventive measures should be targeted towards those under 20 years of age, specifically adolescents. This research aims to identify the impact of health counselling on teenagers’ knowledge of HIV/AIDS. Methods: The study utilizes a pre-experimental design, specifically a one-group pre-test and post-test design. The sample comprises 90 respondents selected through Simple Random Sampling. The research assesses the average knowledge level of teenagers before and after counselling, utilizing statistical analysis. Results: The findings indicate that the average knowledge level of teenagers before counselling is 1.49, whereas the average knowledge level after counselling is 1.94. The statistical analysis, employing the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test, reveals a significant p-value of <0.001. Conclusion: The research concludes that health counselling has a substantial influence on enhancing teenagers' knowledge about HIV/AIDS. This underscores the importance of implementing targeted health interventions and educational programs to raise awareness and knowledge levels among adolescents, contributing to the overall prevention and control of HIV/AIDS in this vulnerable population.
