    Area of Science:

    • Nursing Education
    • Pharmacology
    • Medical Mathematics

    Background:

    • Posology (medication dosage calculation) is a critical skill for nursing practice.
    • Declining mathematics proficiency may impact students' ability to accurately calculate dosages.
    • Integrated curricula require effective methods to teach and assess posology.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To implement and evaluate an organized problem-solving method for posology within an integrated nursing curriculum.
    • To improve nursing students' accuracy in medication dosage calculations.
    • To enhance students' preparation for professional nursing responsibilities.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized an organized problem-solving approach for posology instruction.
    • Implemented early curriculum intervention focusing on mathematical foundations.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • Introduced a self-learning module combined with small group intervention.
  • Assessed knowledge and application through pre- and post-testing with a multiple-choice examination.

    • Main Results:

    • Early intervention and a strong mathematical foundation were identified as crucial for accurate posology.
    • The combined self-learning module and small group intervention positively impacted students' knowledge and application of posology.
    • Pre- to post-testing showed a significant increase in mean scores, indicating improved learning outcomes.

    Conclusions:

    • An integrated approach with early intervention and targeted modules can effectively enhance nursing students' posology skills.
    • Strengthening the mathematical basis for posology is essential for safe and accurate medication administration in nursing.
    • Further evaluation is needed to assess the long-term clinical application of learned posology concepts.
