Medication competence: a concept analysis
1South Dakota State University, United States of America.
This study defines medication competence in nursing education, identifying key attributes like pharmacovigilance and skills. This clarifies the concept for better research and practice in healthcare.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Education
- Healthcare Practice
- Pharmacovigilance
Background:
- Medication competence is crucial in nursing education.
- A clear definition is needed for research and practice.
- Existing understanding requires refinement.
Purpose of the Study:
- To conduct a concept analysis of medication competence in nursing education.
- To establish a clear definition for research and practice.
- To improve communication and application of the concept.
Main Methods:
- Utilized the Walker and Avant concept analysis framework.
- Conducted a comprehensive literature review across multiple databases.
- Included search terms such as medication competence, safety, and management.
Main Results:
- 39 articles met inclusion criteria.
- Identified three defining attributes: pharmacovigilant, effective skills competence, and interprofessionality.
- Highlighted antecedents, consequences, and empirical referents.
Conclusions:
