Abstract

There are numerous errors in food-drug administration through feeding tube. Appropriate performance of nurses can improve patient safety and prevention of complications. The aim of this study is to assess the effectiveness of small group teaching on the nurses’ performance of fooddrug administration. Materials & Methods: This was an experimental study that was done in Urmia Emam Khomeini hospital. 80 nurses were enrolled in the study by using census method. The intervention group was divided into four groups, and for each group, four training sessions (one and half hour) with the creation of thoughtful learning situation was held. Knowledge and performance in relation to food-drug administration were evaluated before, and one month after the training program. Results: The results showed that before training, status of nurses’ knowledge was poor in the control (90/6 percent) and intervention groups (80 percent). After the implementation of training for the intervention group, 97/1 percent of status of nurses’ knowledge in the intervention group was good. Before the training, most of the nurses did not have good performance in both groups. Implementation of the training for the intervention group caused improving the performance of the nurses. Conclusion: There are errors in the time of food-drug administration through feeding tube. This can cause adverse effects. Hence, improvement and use of proper techniques in food-drug administration can increase efficacy of drug feeding and nutrition, it can increase patient safety and reduce the occlusion number of tube feeding.
