Abstract
Heparin is an anticoagulant medication utilized for several purposes, including but not limited to the prevention and treatment of thromboembolic prophylaxis and controlling central venous access. It is administered in low quantities to prevent blood clot formation in patients who may have other underlying issues. This study aims to assess the errors that occur during the administration of heparin and the various methods that can be utilized to minimize or eliminate these errors. This study was carried out in a Midwestern hospital where it was identified that more errors are still occurring despite attempts to develop standard heparin administration processes using a computerized system leading to more patient deaths. The Heparin Error Reduction Workgroup (HERW) was established in 2002 by cardiologists, staff nurses, and pharmacists to analyze the human factors of heparin administration among nurses. Studies have shown that heparin drip error occurs when an incorrect dose of heparin is administered to a patient, leading to disastrous occurrences such as excessive bleeding and, in worst scenarios, death.
Methodology, This study utilized a cross-sectional study encompassing qualitative data in its investigation. The geography utilized is inclusion and exclusion criteria, where only those who participated in the study were included. This study's sampling methods were stratified sampling techniques used to assess the sampled data equitably. Questionnaires were used for data collection and analyzed using Statistical Package for social sciences (SPSS) version 28. The study practiced ethical considerations where authorization from the ethics committee members of the hospital and the school was taken. The participants were assured of anonymity of the data collected. The results showed that the research answered two questions on the associated factors and prevention of heparin error. The data analysis and research assessments relayed that the most common causes of heparin error could be countered through staff training, teaching, enhancing interpersonal communication, and collaboration practices. The implications for nursing education and the nursing profession for this study are the possible clinical consequences or effects of implementing the study findings by relating the findings deduced from the study and identifying the various ways that nurses could reduce the heparin errors occurring in healthcare facilities.
