Neonatal Intensive Care Clinical Trial
Official title:
Efficacy of Tools Associated With a Multifaceted Education Intervention Directed to Health Professionals to Reduce Medication Preparation and Administration Error Rates in Neonatal Intensive Care Units
The purpose of this study is to determine whether an educational program for caregivers associated with convenient tools is effective to reduce medication preparation and administration errors in the Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICU).
Medication errors are frequent in neonatal intensive care units and consequences are more
severe than in adults. Although errors happen in each step of medication management process,
a large proportion of errors occur during medication preparation and administration.
This study will test the hypothesis that rates of medication errors during preparation and
administration will be reduced by implementing an education program for NICU caregivers
(Nurses) and providing convenient tools.
The trial has a stepped wedge design, in which the NICU's from three hospitals in France will
be randomized (Group A, B and C) to the timing of implementation of the educational
intervention.
According to the allocation (Group A, B or C), the education intervention will include a
complete main program of nine weeks and one to three maintenance educational periods.
Medication administration errors rates will be measured before (baseline measurements) and
after each educational interventions (main or maintenance interventions).
Errors will be identified by direct observations of nurse's acts by external observers.
