Abstract
Background
Medication-related nursing constitutes a significant part of nurses' responsibilities, involving tasks before, during, and after medication administration. This includes ensuring accurate dosage, proper timing, and patient monitoring throughout the process. Nurses are directly responsible for administering most medications to patients.
Aim
This study aims to implement blended learning to enhance medication safety competence in nursing students and investigate its effects.
Method
A single-group pre- and post-test assessed the knowledge, confidence, and competence in medication safety of 98 third-year nursing students in South Korea (January 22–31, 2024). Data were collected via a questionnaire and analyzed using descriptive statistics, independent t-tests, and Pearson correlation.
Results
The program significantly improved knowledge (t = 4.93, p < .001), confidence (t = 13.70, p < .001), and competence (t = 9.23, p < .001), indicating a medium to large effect size (r = 0.45-0.81) within medication safety.
Conclusion
Specialized medication safety education should be systematically and repeatedly provided to nursing students, incorporating various teaching methods to enhance its effectiveness.
