Year: 2025
Type: article
Study design: Clinical Trial
Abstract: OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effect of screen-based simulation education on self-efficacy, student satisfaction, and self-confidence in learning related to pediatric drug administration among nursing students. METHOD: A randomized controlled design was used, involving an intervention group and a control group, to reach the target population of 206 nursing students. The study was registered at ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT06548659). Data were collected using the Sociodemographic Characteristics Form, the Student Satisfaction and Self Confidence in Learning Scale, and the Medication Administration Self Efficacy Scale in Children for Nursing Students. RESULTS: In the intervention group, a statistically significant improvement was observed between pre-test and post-test scores. Post-test comparisons between the intervention and control groups revealed a significant increase in self-efficacy scores in the intervention group. Additionally, the intervention group demonstrated significantly higher post-test scores in student satisfaction and self-confidence in learning. CONCLUSION: Screen-based simulation education had a positive effect on nursing students' self-efficacy in pediatric drug administration, as well as on satisfaction and confidence in the learning process.
