Medication administration errors and predictive role of resilience and emotional exhaustion in a sample of Iranian nurses

The level of resilience among nurses was found to play a very important role not only in preventing medication administration errors but also in preventing nurse emotional exhaustion. Accordingly, teaching positive coping methods when dealing with stressful situations must be given top priority in all healthcare settings to promote nurses' standard of care, reduce the likelihood of medical errors, and prevent emotional exhaustion. Additionally, nurses must receive continuous, dedicated training on drug knowledge, including side effects, as well as the correct techniques of drug administration.
