Worum geht es in dieser Arbeit?

<h4>Background</h4>Simulation and room of errors (ROE)-based education have emerged as effective strategies to enhance medication safety competency among nursing students. This study developed and evaluated an ROE-based education program for preclinical nursing students.<h4>Method</h4>A nonequivalent control group pretest-posttest design was used. Preclinical nursing students were assigned to either an ROE-based education group or a traditional education group. The program consisted of three progressive stages addressing error prevention, medication context understanding, and high-risk error management. Outcomes included medication error recognition, medication safety knowledge, medication administration confidence, and learning satisfaction.<h4>Results</h4>The experimental group showed significantly greater improvements in medication error recognition (<i>F</i> = 11.16, <i>p</i> = .001), medication safety knowledge (<i>F</i> = 8.83, <i>p</i> = .003), medication administration confidence (<i>F</i> = 11.32, <i>p</i> = .001), and learning satisfaction (t = -2.53, <i>p</i> = .012) than the control group.<h4>Conclusion</h4>The leveled ROE-based program appears to be an effective preclinical medication safety education model that can improve short-term medication safety-related competencies.
