Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Intervention Group
Peer-supported medication calculation training program
Peer-supported medication calculation training
The intervention consisted of a peer-supported education program on medication dosage calculation, implemented over three weeks with five 60-minute sessions. In Week 1, four mentor students-senior nursing students with prior training in medication calculations and a GPA above 3.0-received refresher instruction from the course instructor. The training covered decimals, percentages, unit conversions, weight-based and non-weight-based dose calculations, and infusion pump adjustments, followed by sample problem-solving activities. The intervention group was divided into four subgroups, each consisting of 7-8 students, and each was assigned a consistent mentor. Each session included 30 minutes of individual and peer problem-solving followed by 30 minutes of guided mentoring. The course instructor provided supervision and feedback throughout the sessions. During Weeks 2 and 3, students practiced numerical and medication dosage calculations through peer-supported exercises.
