Samenvatting

Background
Despite extensive research carried out on medication administration errors (MAEs) in the domain of infusion therapy, there is limited knowledge on nurse’s perceptions on the occurrence of MAEs during infusion
therapy. Since nurses are responsible for medication preparation and administration in Dutch hospitals, it is vital to
understand their perspectives on the risk factors for MAEs.
Aim
The purpose of this study is to investigate the perception of nurses, working in adult ICUs, on the occurrence of
MAEs during continuous infusion therapies.
