简要总结
This experimental study aims to evaluate the effect of peer-assisted education on nursing students' numerical and drug calculation skills. A randomized controlled pretest-posttest design will be conducted with 55 first-year nursing students (27 in the experimental group and 28 in the control group). The experimental group will participate in a three-week peer education program focusing on numerical problem-solving and medication dosage calculations, led by trained mentor students.

结局指标
主要结局
The Medication Calculation Ability
时间窗: They were evaluated before the intervention and after 3 weeks of intervention.
Medication Calculation Ability Assessment Form (Pre-Test, Post-Test): The pre-test consisted of eight questions. The posttest consisted of twenty questions, including additional questions similar to those in the pretest. The questions covered the following categories: * Dosage calculation for solid and liquid oral medications (3 questions in the pretest, 8 questions in the posttest), * Dosage calculation for injections (3 questions in the pretest, 7 questions in the posttest), * Calculation of percentage solutions and intravenous fluids (2 questions in the pretest, 5 questions in the posttest). Each correct answer was scored; the participants' correct answers were averaged to convert the score into a percentage. Thus, a medication calculation skill score ranging from 0% to 100% was obtained for each participant.
次要结局
