The Effectivity of Integrated Social Media to the Patient's Understanding of Patient Safety Practice by Nurse in the Hospital

Abstract

Patient safety incidents are several incidents that have the potential to threaten patient health. Efforts to meet the 6 Patient Safety Goals (PSG) standards which include; 1) accurate patient identification, 2) effective communication, 3) drug safety, 4) appropriate surgical location/procedure, 5) risk of infection, and 6) risk for falls (Albyn et al., 2022), are part of the indicators of hospital service quality . The patient's lack of understanding of the program will hinder the successful implementation of the PSG. Information related to PSG can be provided by the hospital through One solution to increase access to information is to utilize integrated social media, objectives Analyzing patients' understanding of PSG after being given Integrated Social Media (Full Text Media, Images and Text, monologue videos, and animated videos). The research used a Quesy experiment method with a design (One-group pretest -posttest design), with a simple random sampling technique of 119 patients at Dr Gondosuwarno Regional Hospital. The data analysis used was the Wilcoxon rank test. Results of patient understanding regarding (1) Patient identification by nurses p = 0.002, (2) effective communication p = 0.025, (3) drug safety p = 0.025, (4) appropriate surgical location/procedure p = 0.046, and (5) risks infection p = 0.083, (6) risk of falls p = 0.000. p-value < 0.05 (α) means there is a significant difference in. patient understanding of patient identity, effective communication, drug safety, appropriate surgical location/procedure and risk for falls. The use of Integrated Social Media has an influence on patient understanding of patient identity, effective communication, appropriate location/procedure, drug safety, and risk of falls.
