One of the most frequent mistakes is medication administration error, which happens when the medication given to the patient differs from the medication that was prescribed and administered by the staff nurses. The goal of this study was to evaluate the variables that affect medication error. In this study, the factors associated with medication error were described using a crosssectional descriptive study methodology. The study was carried out in a chosen hospital in Coimbatore. The 150 staff nurses working in private hospitals in Coimbatore were the study's target population. The participants were chosen using a practical sampling technique. 123 nurses who work in the chosen hospitals made up the sample. The questionnaire used for the study had two sections. Section B includes nurse-related factors, ward environments, management-related factors, and patient-related factors using a scale of Strongly Disagree=1 to Strongly Agree=5. Section A contains demographic data (Age, Gender, Income, Working experience, Educational level, and Working area). Data was gathered using a Google form and provided to the staff nurse by the nursing in-charge individual. According to the results, the management and patient-related component had the greatest Grand Mean Value (3.87), followed by the ward-related factor (3.81), and the nurse-related factor (3.57). These drug mistakes endangered the patient's health and put them at risk. To prevent medication errors, management should take action to address the issue and maintain an appropriate nurse-to-patient ratio. This guarantees the patient's safety when seeking medical attention.
