تاثیر روش آموزشی مطالعه موردی و شبیه سازی بر خود ارزیابی دانشجویان پرستاری از مهارت در زمینه محاسبه دارویی

Background and Objectives: Effective teaching methods for learning drug calculation skill in nursing education is considered a necessity. The aim of This study was to determine the effect of case study and simulation on nursing students' self-assessment of skills in drug calculation. Materials and Methods: :In a quasi-experimental study first semester nursing students (n=51) were divided randomly into two groups, control group were taught by case study and experimental group were taught by simulation . Before the education and 10 days after, drug calculation test were completed by the students. Results: The average scores of the two groups before training using independent t-test showed no significant difference(p>.05) but after training the difference was significant (p<.05). Conclusion: simulation versus case study method were increase students' skills and reducing errors in drug calculation .
