RESUMEN

AIM: The present study aimed to determine the level of applying safety standards in treatment and therapy processes. DESIGN: In the present descriptive study, 120 cases of nasogastric intubation, bladder catheterization and intramuscular and intravenous injections done by emergency staff were randomly selected. METHODS: The data were collected by a two-section checklist including demographic features and four sheets of observation. Then, the data were analysed based on descriptive statistics. RESULT: The results indicated that the level of compliance with safety standards was 63.3% in intramuscular injection, 86.7% for intravenous injection, 90% for bladder catheterization and 80% for nasogastric intubation. In addition, no statistically significant difference was observed between these processes and the variables such as ages, education and experience and work shift.
