Failure Mode and Effects Analysis in nursing
 HOŠINSKÁ, Petra
The Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) is a very important preventive method which enables to determine possible failures and suggest preventive measures to avoid possible failures before they may happen. The prevention of those failures is very important but it is necessary for the Czech medical care providers to change their attitudes and thinking. It is the medical staff who must do their best to provide quality and safe care, otherwise the provided care quality and safety will never be enhanced. The management support is crucial in this respect. When the support is missing, the improved failure prevention on a long-term basis cannot be achieved. The objectives were to examine nurses´ awareness of FMEA and whether nurses use this preventive method in practice. The interviewed nurses and chief nursing officers were asked two research questions: 1) Are nurses informed enough on the FMEA method? 2) Do nurses (use the method in practice? The results obtained are as follows: Out of eight nurses interviewed only one nurse, who had taken part in a seminar focused on this issue, was familiar with the FMEA. The FMEA is not used in nursing process in hospitals in which the research was conducted. The objectives were achieved. Two hypotheses were set: H I: Nurses are not informed on the FMEA method, H II: Nurses do not use the FMEA method. The purpose of this research is to enhance the nursing staff´ awareness of the possible failure prevention. The results of the research will be offered to managements of the hospitals involved in the research with the aim to incite the preventive measures implementation into nursing process. This will lead to the possible failure risk reduction. Both hospitals involved in the research are interested in the survey conclusions.
