Exploring the Knowledge and Attitudes Towards Compliance with Medication Administration Protocol Among Nursing Students
Tags: adherence clinical education errors knowledge learning medication medication errors nursing nursing students patient practice simulation students study
This study examined how nursing students understand and carry out medication administration, focusing on their knowledge, attitudes, and compliance with safety protocols. Results showed that the students generally have strong theoretical preparation and hold positive views about patient safety. Their attitudes, particularly their sense of responsibility and awareness of risks, were more closely linked to their compliance than knowledge alone. Although overall performance was good, some areas—such as dosage calculations and handling high-risk medications—need further strengthening. The findings point to the value of combining classroom instruction with simulation, mentoring, and supportive clinical supervision to improve medication safety.

Revolutionizing Nursing Education: The Impact of Virtual Reality and Simulation Technologies
Tags: challenges clinical critical thinking decision-making education experiences nurse nursing nursing education patient patient safety practice simulation students
The rapid evolution of virtual reality (VR) and simulation technologies is transforming nursing education by enhancing clinical training, improving decision-making skills, and fostering experiential learning. These advanced tools provide immersive and interactive environments that simulate real-world clinical scenarios, allowing nursing students to develop critical competencies in a safe and controlled setting. This paper examines the integration of VR and simulation technologies in nursing education, focusing on their impact on clinical skill acquisition, critical thinking, and patient safety. Additionally, it addresses the challenges of adopting these technologies, including cost, accessibility, and the need for faculty training. By exploring current innovations and future directions, this paper highlights the transformative potential of VR and simulation in preparing future nurses for complex healthcare environments.
