Abstract

Background: Patient safety is a critical component of nursing care, particularly in emergency services, where nurses must manage complex, high-stakes situations that require rapid decision-making and intervention. The role of emergency room nurses is multifaceted, encompassing patient reception, initial assessment, care implementation, follow-up, and discharge planning. Given the unpredictable nature of emergency care, effectively managing patient safety is paramount.


Aim: This study aims to describe the responsibilities of emergency nurses in ensuring patient safety and to explore the curative interventions used to address safety issues in the emergency department. Additionally, the study examines the impact of these interventions on patient safety outcomes.


Methods: A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted to investigate the roles and responsibilities of emergency nurses in patient safety. A comprehensive search of databases, including Web of Science, SpringerLink, PubMed, Ovid, EBSCO, Elsevier, Sage Journals, Scopus, PsycINFO, and ProQuest, was performed. Studies were selected based on predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria, critically appraised, and synthesized according to PRISMA guidelines.


Results: Ten studies met the inclusion criteria and were included in the quantitative synthesis. The findings identified Crisis Resource Management and Performance Influence as key responsibilities of emergency nurses in ensuring patient safety. These roles are critical in mitigating risks and improving patient outcomes in emergency care settings.


Conclusion: The study highlights the essential role of emergency nurses in managing patient safety through effective crisis management and performance monitoring. The results provide a foundation for further research and assist in developing specific role definitions, performance indicators, and competency requirements for emergency nursing. These insights are crucial for enhancing patient safety outcomes in emergency departments.
