Abstract
Introduction: drug administration is one of the most important duty of a nurse. Some of the reasons for incomplete implementation of pharmaceutical calculations are poor skill and lack of proper training in pharmaceutical calculations in universities. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of drug calculation skills education on the performance of nurses working in the Intensive Care Units.
Methods: This quasi-experimental study was conducted in Intensive Care Units of Fatemeh Al-Zahra Hospital in Sari (north of Iran). 45 nurses among study population were selected by stratified-random sampling method. The data collection tool was a researcher-made questionnaire. The collected data was analyzed using SPSS software and descriptive and inferential statistical methods.
Results: Mean (standard deviation) and median were equal to 15.6 (± 1.3) and 16 questions, respectively. Paired t-test showed a significant increase in the number of correct answers after the test compared to the number of correct answers before the test (Mean Difference: 5.91, 95% CI = 5.15 - 6.68; p-value: <0.0001). The mean scores obtained from the pre-test increased from 20% to the mean of 100% in the questionnaire after the intervention.
Conclusion: The results show that nurses do not have sufficient information and calculational skills of medicine and the authorities are suggested to hold training workshops for them.
