TABLE 3.
Agreement Response of Participants With Hands-on Experience (n = 204)* and No Hands-on Experience (n = 132)* With Syringe Brake
| Survey Statements | Agree, n (%) | aOR (95% CI) | P | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hands-on | No Hands-on | ||||
| Ease of use | |||||
| 1 | It is easy to fit Syringe Brake onto the syringe. | 171 (86.4) | 79 (60.3) | 4.36 (2.53–7.53) | <0.001 |
| 2 | It is easy to set the desired volume to be administered. | 191 (94.1) | 92 (70.8) | 7.25 (3.55–14.81) | <0.001 |
| 3 | It is difficult to learn how to use Syringe Brake. (reverse) | 178 (88.1) | 80 (61.1) | 4.97 (2.83–8.72) | <0.001 |
| Safety aspects | |||||
| 4 | Syringe Brake allows the drug to be titrated safely. | 186 (91.6) | 96 (72.7) | 4.22 (2.24–7.96) | <0.001 |
| 5 | Syringe Brake gives users the confidence to avoid overdosing patient. | 179 (88.2) | 90 (68.7) | 3.38 (1.92–5.95) | <0.001 |
| 6 | Using Syringe Brake can prevent medication error when the user does not realize diluted morphine (10 mg/10 mL) 1 mg equates 1 mL. | 171 (83.8) | 95 (72.0) | 2.03 (1.19–3.46) | 0.010 |
| 7 | Syringe Brake can prevent wrong dose administration arising from miscommunication when the drug is prepared and administered by a different person. | 154 (75.5) | 87 (65.9) | 1.58 (0.98–2.57) | 0.062 |
| Efficiency | |||||
| 8 | For a process that requires excess dose to be discarded before administration, for example, discards 9 mL when only 1 mg is required, Syringe Brake saves time by removing the necessity to discard excess morphine. | 139 (68.8) | 76 (58.0) | 1.65 (1.03–2.65) | 0.037 |
| Acceptance | |||||
| 9 | I am willing to use Syringe Brake. | 169 (83.3) | 85 (64.9) | 2.72 (1.62–4.58) | <0.001 |
| 10 | I prefer using Syringe Brake compared with the previous workflow. | 134 (66.3) | 74 (56.1) | 1.60 (1.01–2.52) | 0.046 |
| 11 | Overall, I am satisfied with the use of Syringe Brake to prevent medication error. | 174 (86.1) | 80 (61.1) | 4.04 (2.36–6.92) | <0.001 |
