This systematic review was conducted in order to review the studies published on the tendency to make medical errors among pediatric nurses in Turkey and to systematically examine the data obtained.
Methods: The relevant search was made in the CoHE (Council of Higher Education Council) National Thesis Center, Google Scholar, EBSCOhost, and PubMed databases. In this study, no year limitation was made. As a result of the search, 3 articles that met the research criteria were included in the study.
Findings: It was found that the pediatric nurses had a high tendency to make medical errors during the implementations performed in the clinics, that their colleagues witnessed these medical errors, and that the tendency to make medical errors differed according to the service worked and the procedure performed.
Conclusion: It is seen that pediatric nurses have a high tendency to make medical errors and that the most important reason for this is the intensive work programs. It is recommended to develop new strategies to improve the working conditions of pediatric nurses in health institutions.
