About

Aim This study aimed to determine the effect of digital stories on nursing students' medical error tendencies and safe parenteral drug administration self-efficacy.

Method The study was conducted between May-July 2024 with 64 students (Intervention: 31, Control: 33) studying at the Faculty of Nursing of a university in eastern Turkey and taking the first year nursing principles course. The data were obtained by using 'Personal Information Form', 'Medical Error Tendency Scale, Drug and Transfusion Practices Subscale' and 'Safe Parenteral Drug Administration Self-Efficacy Scale'. During the research process, the students in the experimental group were shared the digital stories prepared for drug applications from the WhatsApp group and were asked to watch them for two weeks.During 2 weeks, the researchers met with the students twice in the classroom environment and received feedback on the digital stories. Students in the control group continued the routine theoretical and practical process.

Full description

Digital stories provide personalised learning opportunities that enable students to observe educational environments and events, access them anytime and anywhere, and acquire self-directed learning skills. This method is increasingly being used in education because it offers personalised learning opportunities and enhances teacher-student interaction. In this study, the effects of watching and analysing digital stories prepared for drug administration on nursing students' medical error tendencies and the development of their self-efficacy levels in parenteral drug administration were evaluated.
