Abstract

Background: Patient care is a public health issue all over the world, with nursing errors in hospitals being a significant source of harm to patients and a hindrance to the healthcare system’s efficiency. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate Medical Staff Perceptions for Implementing Strategies for Reduction Transmission of Infection and Enhance Patient Safety in Health care Centers in Riyadh Region. Patients and Methods: To achieve the aim of the study, the descriptive approach was followed on a sample of workers in health care centers and hospitals in the Riyadh region Results: The results of the study led to the development of five strategies and 28 interventions aimed at reducing nursing errors. The study revealed that two-thirds of the participants had a high perception of strategies for reducing nursing errors, while one-third had a low perception. Conclusion: The recent findings of the study on strategies and interventions to reduce nurses’ errors in healthcare facilities matter greatly to the field of nursing and healthcare. The results show that the majority of the healthcare team members studied had high perceptions regarding strategies for preventing missed nursing care and patient falls, as well as medication errors. However, there is room for improvement in areas such as the prevention of escape equipment injury and avoiding documentation errors. These findings serve as a valuable contribution to the ongoing efforts to enhance patient safety and improve the overall quality of healthcare services. By identifying areas for improvement and providing practical solutions, the study provides valuable insight for healthcare administrators, practitioners, and policymakers to effectively reduce nursing errors and enhance patient care.
