|
Nurses play a vital
role in certifying blood transfusion safety as the nursing team
is accountable for inspection of data to avoid errors, providing
information about blood transfusion, identifying transfusion
reactions and documentation of the procedure. The purpose of
this study was to assess the nurses’ practices regarding blood
transfusion procedure. It was a descriptive observational study
conducted from February 2020 to May 2020 in two hospitals of
Lahore. Participants were registered nurses, selected through
random sampling technique and data was collected through direct
observation. Sample size was 200, margin of error was 0.5% and
confidence level was 95%. Results showed less than 50% staff
nurses done appropriate practices before collection of blood
bags from blood banks, and checks in the blood bank. More than
50% of nurses did appropriate practices before initiation of
blood transfusion and less than half of the nurses did proper
practices after initiation of blood transfusion. This study
showed nurses average and poor practices regarding blood
transfusion procedure as more than half of the nurses took less
than 50% score. It is a need to organize educational programs,
workshops and seminars to refresh and retain the knowledge to
improve the nurses’ practices regarding blood transfusion. |
