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 student's 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 student's skills and reducing errors in drug calculation.
