About this study
Official title: The Effect of Digital Stories on Nursing Students' Medical Error Tendencies and Safe Parenteral Drug Administration Self-Efficacy
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.
Read the detailed 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.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
InterventionBehavioural
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. Students were able to watch the stories on their mobile phones at the time and frequency they wanted. During 2 weeks, the researchers met with the students twice in the classroom environment and received feedback on the digital stories. Feedbacks about the real meaning of the stories and their contribution to education were obtained by using discussion and question-answer methods. Each student explained their opinions about the stories and had the opportunity to think deeply about them by receiving feedback from their classmates.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Digital story | Experimental | Not described Receives: Behavioral: Intervention |
| Control group | No intervention | No intervention |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Efeect of Medical Error Tendency
For the pre-test data, 'Individual Introduction Form' and 'Medical Error Tendency Scale' were given to the students and they were asked to fill them in.
At the end of 2 weeks, the 'Medical Error Tendency Scale' was applied again at the end of the 2nd week to see the change in the medical error tendency levels of the students who were trained with digital stories teaching method for 2 weeks. Medical Error Tendency Scale: It was developed by Özata and Altunkan to measure the medical error tendencies of nurses. The scale consists of 49 items and 5 different sub-dimensions, and the sub-dimension used in this study, the sub-dimension of medication and transfusion practices, consists of 18 items. The higher the mean score of the scale, the lower the tendency of nurses to make medical errors.
Measured: 2 week
Secondary outcomes (1)
Effect of Safe Parenteral Drug Administration Self-Efficacy
Safe Parenteral Drug Administration Self-Efficacy Scale: The scale developed to determine the self-efficacy of nurses regarding parenteral drug administration consists of 76 items and one dimension. The scale is a 5-point Likert-type scale and 1: Completely disagree, 2: Disagree, 3: Undecided, 4: Agree, 5: Strongly agree. A minimum score of 76 and a maximum score of 380 can be obtained from the scale. The higher the score obtained from the scale, the higher the self-efficacy of nurses regarding safe parenteral drug administration.
Measured: 2 weeks
