简要总结
This research project will evaluate a gamified electronic medication administration record (eMAR) system simulator as a mechanism to improve students' learning of medication administration in simulated clinical education. The gamified eMAR simulator will be evaluated using a pragmatic randomized controlled trial design in order to determine the effectiveness of the game as a technology-enabled, online learning intervention.
详细描述
The main objective of this study is to examine whether the use of a gamified medication administration simulator improves nursing students' medication administration safety within simulated practice; increases student self-efficacy and knowledge of the medication administration process; and, improves motivational and cognitive processing attributes related to student learning in a technology-enabled environment. It is hoped that by completing this trial, the effectiveness of using an eMAR simulator as an educational tool to better prepare nursing students to administer medications using eMAR technology for practice will be ascertained.

结局指标
主要结局
Frequency of medication errors
时间窗: weeks 6-9
Number medication errors generated by nursing students, as assessed by a previously modified researcher-developed rubric that assists observers to quantify the number of medication errors generated during a return-demonstration in clinical simulation (DOI:10.1097/NNE.0000000000000361 / 10.1016/j.ecns.2017.05.016). The quantity of medication errors are codified in six categories: infection control; assessment; verification; scan; administration; documentation.
次要结局
