| Research Abstract |
In this research, we collected the information of occurrences of errors and incidences during practical training in nursing through longitudinal method. We analyzed the cases and also using epidemiological method, we calculated the cumulative incidences of errors and incidences.
For this objective, we designed the input format of information sheet and training rotation tables in text mode and newly developed a SAS program for calculating the cumulative incidences.
By the analysis of descriptive epidemiology, the new occurrences of errors and incidences were not evenly distributed through training course. Within one or two months just after the training started, we observed the peak of occurrences. Then gradually the occurrences decreased, and again the medium peak of occurrences were observed.
This time, we used the computer programmes for calculation. Using paper sheet or spread sheet of Ms Excel the same counting is possible. By our method, each nursing school could monitor the occurrences and inquire the cause of fluctuations of errors and incidences.
If we collect amount of cases, we can apply a quantitative analytic method developed through error sciences. We might be able to distinguish some structural factors in training. The cased we collected are good materials for learning the prevention of adverse events.
