“…Nurses are in a prime position to ensure that all patients, especially children patient's care needs are addressed when an antibiotic is administered since they have the most contact with children and their parents and participate in every step of care [16,17]. However, there is no study regarding the knowledge and practices of antibiotics among children in Jordan or worldwide.…”

Purpose: This study aimed at examining nurses’ knowledge, attitudes, and practices related to antibiotics use and resistance. A second objective was to identify Jordanian nurses’ sources of information about antibiotics. Method: A cross-sectional design was used for this study. Nurses (n=594) completed an online survey using Google Forms. Google Forms web link was distributed on Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, and other social media applications. The study included Jordanian nurses who worked in hospitals and healthcare institutions. the European Center for Diseases Control and Prevention survey was used that took about 15 minutes to complete. Results: According to the study, 48.2% of nurses prescribed antibiotics to patients daily or multiple times per day in the previous week; 13.3% of nurses offered support for daily or more frequent antibacterial drug use or infection control; and 42.3% of nurses mentioned they did not give antibiotics advice because they did not have a leaflet about their use and because the patients did not receive one. Conclusion: The study found that the most reported source for antibiotics information was Facebook and Instagram. Nurses need further education on proper use of antibiotics. Antimicrobial stewardship can benefit from the study findings, which can help develop interventions to improve antibiotics proper use.

ObjectiveNurses have a significant role in maintaining patient and healthcare safety. Thus, healthcare administrators should focus on nurse performance and create a friendly hospital work environment to ensure patient safety and healthcare quality. Limited studies have investigated the impact of nurses’ demographics on nurses’ error reporting practices and nurses’ perceptions of the hospital work environment, especially in Jordan. This study aims to investigate the factors influencing nurses’ medical error reporting practices in Jordan, specifically focusing on the role of nurses’ demographics and the hospital work environment.Design:This is a descriptive cross-sectional study.SettingData collection was done in three hospitals (public, university-affiliated and private) in Jordan, using surveys that included demographics, the incident reporting practice scale and the Practice Environment Scale-Nursing Work Index from 11 June 2023 to 13 August 2023.Participants350 nurses with a diploma, associate degree, bachelor’s degree or postgraduate degree had worked at the targeted hospitals for at least 6 months and were responsible for direct inpatient care.Primary outcome measureThe level of medical error reporting practices and the nursing work environment. Also, differences were assessed among demographic characteristics and investigated the factors for medical error reporting practices.ResultsJordanian nurses had low medical error reporting practices (M=2.34; SD=0.57) and nursing work environment (M=2.4; SD=0.56). Nurses who were single and in private hospitals had higher medical error reporting practices (p<0.05). Medical error reporting practices positively correlated with the nursing work environment (r=0.807, p<0.01) and negatively correlated with the average number of patients per shift (r=−0.109, p<0.05). The nursing work environment was a significant predictor, with an 81.0% variance in medical error reporting practices.ConclusionsThe study found that Jordanian nurses have low perceptions of their work environment and medical error reporting practices, which are influenced by marital status and hospital type. Enhancing the nurse work environment and providing ongoing standards training are critical for improving safety behaviours, patient outcomes and care quality. Future research should investigate the long-term consequences of interventions on reporting practices and patient outcomes.
