Abstract

To improve patient safety, many health care organisations have implemented standards/protocols for different care processes (Mula et al., 2019). Sometimes all of this is viewed by nurses as barriers and they use workarounds to overcome the problem. The workaround is an intentional change to existing work system/procedure to lessen the impact of obstacles and established practices, or structural constraints (Alter S., 2014). The moral judgment attributed to this by each individual operator involved, is important.

The meaning of the experience of nurses that don't respect protocols

Virtual Event

To improve patient safety, many health care organisations have implemented standards/protocols for different care processes (Mula et al., 2019). Sometimes all of this is viewed by nurses as barriers and they use workarounds to overcome the problem. The workaround is an intentional change to existing work system/procedure to lessen the impact of obstacles and established practices, or structural constraints (Alter S., 2014). The moral judgment attributed to this by each individual operator involved, is important.
