The aim of this study was to describe the medication calculation skills of nurses in Finland. We tried to ascertain how nurses evaluate their own medication calculation skills and how these self-evaluations are associated with various background factors and the actual level they score in a calculation test. In the spring of 2000, nurses (n = 546) in one Finnish university hospital completed a questionnaire specially developed for this study. The instrument included structured questions, statements and a medication calculation test. The response rate was 56%. Data analysis was based on descriptive statistics. The nurses found the mathematics and dosage calculation easy and interesting but the pharmacology difficult. They evaluated their own mathematical and dosage calculation skills as sufficient, although it had certain shortcomings. The youngest nurses (20-29 years) evaluated their mathematical and dosage calculation skills as sufficient and they also succeeded in the calculation test. Basic (High School) education was associated with better calculation skills. The findings of this study support the need and importance of checking and maintaining one's medication calculation skills.
本研究的目的是描述芬兰护士的药物计算技能。我们试图确定护士如何评估自己的药物计算技能，以及这些自我评估与各种背景因素以及他们在计算测试中的实际得分水平有何关联。2000年春季，芬兰一家大学医院的护士（n = 546）完成了一份专门为此研究开发的问卷。该工具包括结构化问题、陈述和一项药物计算测试。回复率为56%。数据分析基于描述性统计。护士们认为数学和剂量计算简单且有趣，但药理学很难。他们认为自己的数学和剂量计算技能足够，尽管有一定的缺点。最年轻的护士（20 - 29岁）认为自己的数学和剂量计算技能足够，并且他们在计算测试中也取得了成功。基础教育（高中）与更好的计算技能相关。本研究的结果支持检查和保持个人药物计算技能的必要性和重要性。
