Artificial Intelligence-Assisted Learning for Nursing Drug Calculation

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate how an Artificial Intelligence -assisted learning platform affects nurses' ability to calculate medication dosages accurately. Drug calculation is a critical skill in nursing, and errors can significantly impact patient safety. While traditional teaching methods are standard, they may not provide the personalized feedback needed for such a high-stakes task. This study compares two groups of nurses: one group using an Artificial Intelligence-driven software that provides interactive scenarios and real-time guidance, and another group receiving traditional classroom instruction. The researchers aim to determine whether the AI approach leads to: Improved theoretical knowledge of drug calculations. Enhanced clinical decision-making during medication administration. Increased nurses' confidence (self-efficacy) in performing these tasks in real clinical settings. In addition, a qualitative component conducted using focus group discussions to explore participants' acceptance, perceived usefulness, usability, and overall perceptions of the AI-assisted learning platform. This qualitative inquiry provides a deeper insight into nurses' experiences, attitudes toward AI integration in education, and their opinions regarding the effectiveness of the teaching and learning strategies used within the platform.
