Brief summary: Enteral nutrition protocols are applied in patients who do not have gastrointestinal dysfunction but in whom oral feeding is contraindicated. In these patients, where drug use is also necessary but alternative drug administration routes are not possible, drugs can be given to the patient through enteral nutrition tubes. However, there are studies reporting errors and complications during drug administration from the enteral nutrition tube. With the planned thesis study, it is aimed to develop an evidence-based checklist and to reduce the rate of errors and complications in drug administration through enteral feeding tube with this checklist.

Detailed description: Enteral nutrition protocols are applied in patients who do not have gastrointestinal dysfunction but in whom oral feeding is contraindicated. In these patients, where drug use is also necessary but alternative drug administration routes are not possible, drugs can be given to the patient through enteral nutrition tubes.

When adding drugs to parenteral nutrition admixtures or using concomitant drugs from the same catheter, it has become a general rule to check for drug incompatibility. The same level of care is not taken in drug administration from the enteral nutrition tube. There are studies reporting errors and complications in enteral drug administration in the literature Today, one of the most important parts of corporate culture in healthcare is patient safety. Patient safety is all of the measures taken by health institutions and employees in these institutions in order to prevent the harm that health care services may cause to individuals. The main goal here is; It is the establishment of a system that will protect the patient from possible harm and eliminate the possibility of error due to errors that will prevent the occurrence of errors during care delivery.

The checklists used in recent years are also an evidence-based practice list and have become one of the effective methods used to prevent errors and reduce complications. A checklist standardizes the process, streamlines maintenance delivery, and improves performance to ensure all actions are covered. The checklist allows cross-checking what was done and in what order. These reassurances are important in situations where time is short and distractions.

With this study, it is aimed to develop an evidence-based checklist and to reduce the rate of errors and complications in drug administration through enteral feeding tube with this checklist.
