Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Nursing and health Science - Year 2019, Vol 7, Issue 1
Abstract
Malpractice crisis is one of the emerging challenges of the current healthcare system. Therefore, nurses are required to understand what malpractice is and develop or adopt effective strategies to prevent its occurrences. This paper aimed to update the baseline knowledge of the concept of malpractice using Walker and Avant (2011) eight steps concept analysis method and to guide nurses' practice in developing countries with regards to safe nursing practice. It was found that the concept of malpractice is related to professions and professionals, characterized by unintentional misconduct and resulting in injury and harm. The most common factors leading to nursing malpractice were improper communication, documentation, patient assessment, use of equipment, and deviation from standards of nursing practice, as well as lack of patient advocacy role. Nursing administrators play an important role in preventing the incidences of malpractice by forecasting proper plan of actions to prevent the occurrences of malpractice.
