In 95Â % of the cases, an average of 1.4 individual contributory factors was found the most common being 'Negligence, forgetfulness or lack of attentiveness' (68Â %), 'Proper protocol not followed' (25Â %), 'Lack of knowledge' (13Â %) and 'Practice beyond scope' (12Â %).

There were a total of 613 medication errors in the 585 cases, the most common being 'Wrong dose' (41Â %), 'Wrong patient' (13Â %) and 'Omission of drug' (12Â %). In order to test for possible differences between nurses' work experience and associations within and between the errors and contributory factors, Fisher's exact test was used, and Cohen's kappa (k) was performed to estimate the magnitude and direction of the associations. A qualitative content analysis and classification according to the type and the individual and system contributory factors was made. All medication errors where a nurse was held responsible for malpractice (nâ€‰=â€‰585) during 11Â years in Sweden were included. Nurses have a key role in medication administration, and there are contradictory reports on the nurses' work experience in relation to the risk and type for medication errors.

Other studies have analyzed the individual and system contributory factor leading to a medication error. Many studies address the prevalence of medication errors but few address medication errors serious enough to be regarded as malpractice. Medication errors as malpractice-a qualitative content analysis of 585 medication errors by nurses in Sweden.ījÃ¶rkstÃ©n, Karin Sparring Bergqvist, Monica AndersÃ©n-Karlsson, Eva Benson, Lina Ulfvarson, Johanna
