Abstract

This study aimed to 1) examine the risk management competency in drug administration among registered nurses and 2) evaluate the predictive power of nursing work experience, attitudes towards risk management in drug administration, and the nursing practice environment on risk management competency in drug administration among registered nurses at secondary hospitals. A simple random sampling technique was used to recruit 146 participants. Data were collected using questionnaires on demographic information, nursing work experience, attitudes towards risk management in drug administration, the nursing practice environment, and risk management competency in drug administration. The instruments demonstrated high reliability, with Cronbach's alpha coefficients of .96, .97, and .97, respectively. Data were analyzed using stepwise multiple regression analysis.

The results showed that participants had an average age of 43.43 years (SD = 9.44) and demonstrated a high level of risk management competency in drug administration (M = 4.16, SD = .65). Attitude towards risk management in drug administration was the strongest predictor of competency (Beta = .424, p = .000). Only two factors – attitude towards risk management in drug administration and the nursing practice environment – significantly predicted risk management competency in drug administration, explaining 54.9% with statistical significance at .05 (R² = .549, p = .000).

The findings indicated that nurse administrators should develop training programs to enhance positive attitudes towards risk management in drug administration and ensure adequate resources for nursing practices to improve risk management competency in drug administration.
