The effects of screen-based simulation on nursing students' acquisition of medication administration and dosage calculation skills: a randomized controlled trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Screen-based simulation is a cost-effective educational modality that allows nursing students to comfortably acquire new skills as they become accustomed to digital environments. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a screen-based simulation tool in enhancing knowledge and skills related to medication administration and dosage calculation in nursing students.

Methods

This multicenter, single-blind, stratified, randomized controlled trial initially enrolled 480 nursing students. The 351 students eligibles were randomly allocated to two groups. Using a screen-based simulation tool (SIMDOSE^®), the intervention group was trained in drug administration and dosage calculation through four perfusion clinical cases. The control group underw
