Abstract

This study is to find the weaknesses in drug dose calculations of nursing students by analyzing their general characteristics, confidence(C), performances in classes(PC) and exam sheets of drug dose calculations. The data were analyzed using SPSS 19.0. There was no significant difference between male and female students in simple calculation ability(SCA), but male students' mean scores were higher in applied calculation ability(ACA) and accuracy on calculation(AC). There were no significant differences in calculation abilities according to high school departments. And students were weak in questions which are needed ACA. The explanation rate of C on PC and PC on AC were 4.2% and 3.2% respectively, so there were weak positive effects from C to PC, and PC to AC. This study suggests that there is a need to develop and implement an intervention program according to students' abilities to increase AC, C, and PC by studying math on an ongoing basis. This study needs to be cautious in generalizing, because the data set was limited to nursing students from one university.

본 연구는 간호학생의 약물용량계산에서의 취약점을 찾기 위해 학생들의 자기기입식 일반적 사항과 약물계산수업 전 자신감(이하, 자신감), 수업수행도(이하, 수행도) 및 약물용량계산 시험지를 SPSS 19.0 으로 분석하였다. 본 연구결과 약물계산능력을 나타내는 서술식 두 문제의 평균 정답률은 72%였고, 단순계산능력은 성별 간 차이가 없었으나 응용계산능력과 계산정확도는 남학생이 유의하게 높았고, 고등학교계열별 계산능력에는 차이가 없었다. 자신감과 수행도 및 수행도와 계산정확도 간 양의 상관관계가 있었고, 자신감의 수행도에 대한, 수행도의 계산정확도에 대한 설명력은 각각 4.2%와 3.2%였다. 1개 대학 간호학생 대상의 본 연구결과를 일반화할 수는 없으나, 반복적이고 지속적인 수학학습으로 수행도를 높이고 약물계산에 대한 자신감을 향상시킴으로써 계산정확도를 높여 투약오류예방을 위한 중재프로그램 개발 및 적용의 필요성을 제언한다.
