Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Aim This study aimed to determine the effect of digital stories on nursing students' medical error tendencies and safe parenteral drug administration self-efficacy.

Method The study was conducted between May-July 2024 with 64 students (Intervention: 31, Control: 33) studying at the Faculty of Nursing of a university in eastern Turkey and taking the first year nursing principles course. The data were obtained by using 'Personal Information Form', 'Medical Error Tendency Scale, Drug and Transfusion Practices Subscale' and 'Safe Parenteral Drug Administration Self-Efficacy Scale'. During the research process, the students in the experimental group were shared the digital stories prepared for drug applications from the WhatsApp group and were asked to watch them for two weeks.During 2 weeks, the researchers met with the students twice in the classroom environment and received feedback on the digital stories. Students in the control group continued the routine theoretical and practical process.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Digital stories provide personalised learning opportunities that enable students to observe educational environments and events, access them anytime and anywhere, and acquire self-directed learning skills. This method is increasingly being used in education because it offers personalised learning opportunities and enhances teacher-student interaction. In this study, the effects of watching and analysing digital stories prepared for drug administration on nursing students' medical error tendencies and the development of their self-efficacy levels in parenteral drug administration were evaluated.

Digital story

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Intervention

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

The students in the experimental group were shared the digital stories prepared for drug applications from the WhatsApp group and were asked to watch them for two weeks. Students were able to watch the stories on their mobile phones at the time and frequency they wanted. During 2 weeks, the researchers met with the students twice in the classroom environment and received feedback on the digital stories. Feedbacks about the real meaning of the stories and their contribution to education were obtained by using discussion and question-answer methods. Each student explained their opinions about the stories and had the opportunity to think deeply about them by receiving feedback from their classmates.
