Resilience in nursing medication administration practice: a systematic review with narrative synthesis.
Kellett PLR, Franklin BD, Pearce S, et al. Resilience in nursing medication administration practice: a systematic review with narrative synthesis. BMJ Open Qual. 2024;13(4):e002711. doi:10.1136/bmjoq-2023-002711.
Medication administration is part of a complex medication use process and a key nursing function. This systematic review explores individual resilience in the context of nursing medication administration. Resilience strategies tended to be real-time, short-term workarounds to deal with system inefficiencies (e.g., manual checking when barcode scanners are down). Additional research is needed on how to translate short-term workarounds into long-term resilience strategies.
