Notes
- Abstract:
- Background: Since the Institute of Medicine’s report To Err is Human (1999) identified medication errors as major contributor to morbidity and mortality in health care settings, many forces in the health care field have increased their effort to find ways to reduce that morbidity and mortality associated medication errors. This study sought to add to the body of knowledge related to reducing morbidity and mortality related to medication management. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to gain an understanding of the lived experience of nursing faculty teaching nursing students to manage medications. Philosophical Underpinning: This study was developed using the theoretical framework of phenomenology as described by Husserl. Methods: Moustakas’ methodology of engaging in investigational phenomenological research was used to operationalize the study. Results: While analyzing the data, the themes of Thinking, Practicing, and Evaluating emerged as basic elements of the essence of the lived experience of nursing faculty teaching nursing students to manage medications. The findings are applicable for use in conjunction with the concepts of motor learning theory. Conclusions: Nursing students may benefit from more practice that focuses on the cognitive and psychomotor aspects of medication management, in conjunction with equipment that more realistically represents the actual clinical setting.
