Nursing education influences medication administration practices, which involve clinical decision making and risk perceptions.
This mixed-methods concurrent nested study explored the relationship among knowledge, personality traits, and self-efficacy related to medication administration error in fourth-year, prelicen-sure nursing students ( = 60) who were recruited from three campuses of a large university.
Results indicated low mean knowledge (70.75) and neuroticism (2.44) scores, and high mean self-efficacy and confidence (5.78) and conscientiousness (4.51) scores. Conscientiousness was correlated with both knowledge ( = .271, = .036) and neuroticism (r = -.313, = .015). Thematic analysis yielded four themes: nature of risk perceptions, more opportunities to learn, experiences with medication administration error, and intrinsic characteristics influence errors. Convergence was evident in both knowledge and personality data; self-efficacy/confidence and risk perceptions data diverged.
Knowledge, personality traits, and self-efficacy appear to influence nursing students' risk perceptions of medication administration error, indicating an area for future research. .
护理教育影响药物管理实践，其中涉及临床决策和风险感知。
本混合方法同期嵌套研究探讨了与药物管理错误相关的知识、人格特质和自我效能感与第四年许可前护理学生（共 60 人）之间的关系，这些学生是从一所大型大学的三个校区招募的。
结果表明，知识（70.75）和神经质（2.44）得分较低，自我效能感和信心（5.78）和尽责性（4.51）得分较高。尽责性与知识（r =.271，p =.036）和神经质（r = -.313，p =.015）呈正相关。主题分析产生了四个主题：风险感知的本质、更多的学习机会、药物管理错误的经验以及内在特征影响错误。知识和人格数据中都存在明显的趋同，而自我效能感/信心和风险感知数据则存在分歧。
知识、人格特质和自我效能感似乎会影响护理学生对药物管理错误的风险感知，这表明这是未来研究的一个领域。
