Nursing students exposed to bullying behaviors are at risk for making medication errors. For a quasi-experimental study, 15 prelicensure nursing students at a Midwestern university were exposed to simulated bullying behaviors or common distractions while administering medications in a laboratory setting. Data were analyzed using Kruskal-Wallis tests. There was no significant difference in medication administration rubric score ( H [2] = 1.489, p = .475) or time spent in room ( H [2] = 1.778, p = .411) between groups. Bullying behaviors and other interruptions distracted nursing students from successfully completing the medication administration simulation.
遭受欺凌行为的护理专业学生存在用药错误的风险。在一项准实验研究中，中西部一所大学的15名预执业护理专业学生在实验室环境中给药时，遭受了模拟的欺凌行为或常见干扰。使用克鲁斯卡尔-沃利斯检验对数据进行分析。两组之间在给药评分标准得分（H[2]=1.489，p=0.475）或在房间内花费的时间（H[2]=1.778，p=0.411）方面没有显著差异。欺凌行为和其他干扰使护理专业学生无法成功完成给药模拟。
