Drug dosage calculation skill is critical for all nursing students to ensure patient safety, particularly during clinical practice. The study purpose was to evaluate the effectiveness of Web-based instruction on improving nursing students' arithmetical and drug dosage calculation skills using a pretest-posttest design. A total of 63 nursing students participated. Data were collected through the Demographic Information Form, and the Arithmetic Skill Test and Drug Dosage Calculation Skill Test were used as pre and posttests. The pretest was conducted in the classroom. A Web site was then constructed, which included audio presentations of lectures, quizzes, and online posttests. Students had Web-based training for 8 weeks and then they completed the posttest. Pretest and posttest scores were compared using the Wilcoxon test and correlation coefficients were used to identify the relationship between arithmetic and calculation skills scores. The results demonstrated that Web-based teaching improves students' arithmetic and drug dosage calculation skills. There was a positive correlation between the arithmetic skill and drug dosage calculation skill scores of students. Web-based teaching programs can be used to improve knowledge and skills at a cognitive level in nursing students.
药物剂量计算技能对于所有护理专业学生确保患者安全至关重要，尤其是在临床实践中。本研究旨在采用前测-后测设计，评估基于网络的教学对提高护理专业学生算术和药物剂量计算技能的有效性。共有63名护理专业学生参与。通过人口统计学信息表收集数据，并将算术技能测试和药物剂量计算技能测试用作前测和后测。前测在课堂上进行。随后构建了一个网站，其中包括讲座的音频演示、测验和在线后测。学生们接受了为期8周的基于网络的培训，然后完成后测。使用Wilcoxon检验比较前测和后测分数，并使用相关系数来确定算术和计算技能分数之间的关系。结果表明，基于网络的教学提高了学生的算术和药物剂量计算技能。学生的算术技能和药物剂量计算技能分数之间存在正相关。基于网络的教学计划可用于提高护理专业学生在认知层面的知识和技能。
