Predictors in the Commission of Errors in the Ward Among Student Nurses of Butuan City
The study sought to determine the predictors in the commission of errors in the nursing procedure in the ward among Level IV nursing students of Father Saturnino Urios University. Utilizing a descriptive research design, student respondents were selected through the non-probability sampling employing the convenience sampling while complete enumeration was utilized in the choice of clinical instructors and staff nurses. Findings revealed that the respondents often have the knowledge and skills, and manifest favourable attitudes that are important in the application of nursing procedures so that errors in the ward be less committed. Correlation between the predictors and the errors committed in the ward as to admission and routine procedure revealed that there is a significant relationship between the commission of errors and the identified predictors. Due to the fact that they have different levels of education, experience and expectations, a significant difference in the ratings of the respondents on the commission of errors of nursing procedure in the ward was revealed. On the other hand, there is no significant difference in the ratings of the respondents on the commission of errors of nursing procedure in the ward for the routine procedures maybe because the respondents are already used to the varied procedural details. More knowledge, mastery of nursing skills in providing care to the patients and positive attitudes of the health personnel in the admission and routine procedures lead to less commission of errors in the ward.
