Bulut M, Yüksel Ç. Developing evidence-based medication therapy management tools for psychiatric nurses: An evaluative qualitative case study. J Eval Clin Pract 2024. [PMID: 38959384 DOI: 10.1111/jep.14050] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/22/2024] [Revised: 05/16/2024] [Accepted: 06/02/2024] [Indexed: 07/05/2024]
Abstract
RATIONALE, AIMS AND OBJECTIVES Clinical use of psychotropic medications involves diverse risks, addressable by nursing interventions. The research had a dual purpose: developing an "Evidence-Based Medication Therapy Management Guideline" and a "Medication Administration-Tracking Chart" and evaluating their use through an evaluative case study. METHODS Evidence-based guideline and chart development and evaluative case study. Initially, Evidence-Based Medication Therapy Management Guideline and Medication Administration Tracking Chart for managing medication in a psychiatric unit were developed. Subsequently, their efficacy was evaluated in a case study involving 10 participating nurses used in the psychiatric unit with 123-bed of a training and research hospital in Turkey. Data was collected through personal forms, interviews, medication charts, and researcher observations, and the analysis employed Merriam's case study method. RESULTS Three themes (inception, implementation, termination, and sustainers) and 12 sub-themes emerged. Nurses stated that the research tools filled their information gaps, enhancing the medication therapy management process's effectiveness and safety, improving nursing care quality and continuity, and benefiting patient outcomes. Nurses expressed a desire to consistently use the tools in the unit and provided suggestions. CONCLUSION Nurses highlighted the tools' potential to enhance medication safety, psychiatric care, and patient outcomes. However, their stance on using evidence-based tools revealed an approach/avoidance conflict, balancing benefits and barriers. Experience emerged as a hindrance in embracing evidence-based clinical tools. This study is among the first to comprehensively develop evidence-based medication management guideline and administration-tracking chart for psychiatric nurses globally and in our country. Routine use of the tools is expected to enhance nurses' expertise in psychotropic medication management, leading to improved patient outcomes in medication-related aspects.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In assisting the nurse's counselling on lifestyle changes in hypertension care a behaviour model can be used. AIM To analyse the effects of nurses' training on the use of the stages of change model when counselling hypertensive patients to perform lifestyle changes. METHODS As part of a randomised, controlled trial, 19 nurses belonging to the intervention group took part in video-recorded consultation training with simulated patients. To evaluate the training, the nurses audio-recorded their consultations with two patients before and after the intervention. Analysis focused on the areas of non-pharmacological treatment and the nurses' attention to the patients' readiness for change. RESULTS Patient participation in the consultations increased after the training. The importance of non-pharmacological treatment was mentioned more frequently for all areas of lifestyle behaviour, exercise, smoking, alcohol consumption, food and stress, and the nurses acquired a more distinct structure for their consultations. The mean length of the recorded consultations increased from 18 min to 20.5 min. All the criteria for fulfillment of attention to patient's readiness to change were met in nine consultations before the training and in seven after it. After the training, attention was paid to support more frequently than before in the action and maintenance stages and a great deal of information was provided.

Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a major concern of public health. The pharmacist is known as a health practitioner involved in prevention and therapeutic education. Our study aimed at defining the impact of community pharmacists' interventions for preventing and screening CKD. In our observational prospective study of 5 months conducted in 109 community pharmacy, we included 2 groups of patients: A (therapeutic optimization): CKD patients and B (CKD screening): population at risk. In group A, we included 354 patients, mainly women (51.2%), in stage 3 of CKD, mean age 73 years old, with hypertension alone (40.6%) or associated with diabetes (44%). About 70% of the patients had a follow up by a nephrologist and 45% of them were good adherent according to the Morisky-Green self-report. However, approximately 20% of patients did not have nephroprotective treatments in their regimen although they were on stage 3 or 4 CKD patients, and about half of them were not aware of medical situations at risk. Concerning group B, 532 patients were included. The pharmaceutical interventions screened 10% of patients with a GFR<60mL/min/1.73m2. The community pharmacists' interventions helped to optimize the therapeutic management of CKD patients and in the early screening of patients at risk. More studies are needed to extrapolate our observations to a larger population.

Abstract
Cardiac nursing takes place within various spheres of health care, reaching into primary, secondary and tertiary care within theses, cardiac expertise falls within four domains: health promotion, cardiac prevention and rehabilitation, acute, chronic and episodic care and palliative care. This paper sets out the possibility for a staged development of the cardiac nurse, which could promote homogeneity in role, skill and practice. A framework ('Expert Cardiac Nurse Pathway') for the United Kingdom, is proposed here, and views on its usefulness throughout Europe are sought.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Nurses experience insufficient medication knowledge; particularly in drug dose calculations, but also in drug management and pharmacology. The weak knowledge could be a result of deficiencies in the basic nursing education, or lack of continuing maintenance training during working years. The aim of this study was to compare the medication knowledge, certainty and risk of error between graduating bachelor students in nursing and experienced registered nurses. METHODS Bachelor students in closing term and registered nurses with at least one year job experience underwent a multiple choice test in pharmacology, drug management and drug dose calculations: 3x14 questions with 3-4 alternative answers (score 0-42). Certainty of each answer was recorded with score 0-3, 0-1 indicating need for assistance. Risk of error was scored 1-3, where 3 expressed high risk: being certain that a wrong answer was correct. The results are presented as mean and (SD). RESULTS Participants were 243 graduating students (including 29 men), aged 28.2 (7.6) years, and 203 registered nurses (including 16 men), aged 42.0 (9.3) years and with a working experience of 12.4 years (9.2). The knowledge among the nurses was found to be superior to that of the students: 68.9%(8.0) and 61.5%(7.8) correct answers, respectively, (p < 0.001). The difference was largest in drug management and dose calculations. The improvement occurred during the first working year. The nurses expressed higher degree of certainty and the risk of error was lower, both overall and for each topic (p < 0.01). Low risk of error was associated with high knowledge and high sense of coping (p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS The medication knowledge among experienced nurses was superior to bachelor students in nursing, but nevertheless insufficient. As much as 25% of the answers to the drug management questions would lead to high risk of error. More emphasis should be put into the basic nursing education and in the introduction to medication procedures in clinical practice to improve the nurses' medication knowledge and reduce the risk of error.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Attainment of oral medication administration skills and competency for student nurses is challenging and medication errors are common. The ability of nurses to master a clinical skill is dependent upon educational instruction and practice. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to evaluate nursing students' perception of preparedness for oral medication administration in two practice environments and determine possible relationship between student demographics and their perceived preparedness for oral medication administration. DESIGN This was a cross sectional, exploratory study. PARTICIPANTS Eighty-eight second year students from a baccalaureate nursing course from two metropolitan Australian tertiary institutions participated. METHODS Student nurses' perception of preparedness for oral medication administration was measured via a self-administered, adapted, and validated questionnaire. RESULTS The overall mean Total Preparedness Score was 86.2 (range 71-102). There was no significant difference for perceived total preparedness to administer oral medications between the two facilities. Whilst there was no significant relationship established between student demographics and their perceived preparedness to administer oral medications, four single questions related to clinical practice were shown to be significant. CONCLUSION Low fidelity simulated teaching environments that incorporate time management and post medication situations, may improve student nurses' perceived preparedness for oral medication administration.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Improvements in the safety of the prescribing, dispensing and administration of medicines are identified as a priority across international healthcare systems. It is therefore essential that higher education institutions play their part in helping to meet this patient safety objective. New developments in clinical skills education which are aligned to emerging educational theory are available, but evaluations and supportive evidence are limited. OBJECTIVES To evaluate the use of an online best practice exemplar as an adjunct to the clinical skills teaching of oral medication administration to undergraduate student nurses. DESIGN Mixed-methods prospective cohort design. SETTINGS AND PARTICIPANTS Two intakes of undergraduate nursing students (n=168, n=154) undertaking a first year clinical skills based module at a British university. METHODS The Control group received standard teaching using lectures and skills classes facilitated by experienced clinical skills lecturers. The Intervention group received the standard teaching and unlimited access to an online video clip of medication administration. Performance and satisfaction were measured using module assessment results and a satisfaction questionnaire. Qualitative data were gathered using focus groups (n=16, n=20). RESULTS The Intervention group was significantly (p=0.021) more likely to pass the assessment and rate their satisfaction with the teaching significantly higher (p<0.05) on more than half of the items from the Student Satisfaction Survey. Two Categories were identified from focus group data; Classroom Learning and Transfer to Practice. Classroom Learning included four themes of Peers, Self, Teaching and Time and when Classroom Learning was positive, the Transfer to Practice of the clinical skill was enhanced. CONCLUSIONS An online video of a best practice exemplar as an adjunct to taught clinical skills sessions improves student assessment results and satisfaction ratings. The video was also reported to positively influence all themes identified in Classroom Learning and was perceived to promote the Transfer to Practice of teaching input.

Abstract
The incorrect administration of high-alert medications can have serious consequences. A previous study by the authors of this study developed and validated 20 true-false questions concerning high-alert medications and suggested that the topic be taught to nurses. The perspectives of faculty and nurses, however, needed to be assessed before such teaching could be implemented. The aim of this study was to understand the views of faculty and nurses about training in high-alert medications: its importance, the frequency with which it is provided, and the ideal stage at which it should be provided. A cross-sectional study was conducted in 2008 in Taiwan. A questionnaire was used to determine whether the 20 questions are important, whether its content was being taught, and the ideal time for teaching it. Snowball sampling and descriptive statistics were used. A total of 136 faculty and 199 nurses participated. From the perspectives of faculty and nurses, all 20 questions regarding high-alert medications were important (faculty vs. nurses: 4.65±0.35 vs. 4.45±0.67) but the issues to which they related were insufficiently taught (faculty vs. nurses: 3.88±0.87 vs. 3.06±0.94). Faculty believed that the ideal stage at which to provide training on high-alert medications was during formal, in-school nursing education (94.3%) while nurses believed that the ideal stage was during in-hospital continuing education (48.9%). For training in high-alert medications, the researchers recommended the inclusion of classes on the subject as part of formal, in-school nursing education, as well as of hospital-based continuing education. The instrument's questions highlight the important concepts concerning high-alert medications which should be taught to nurses and nursing students.

Abstract
AIM This study explores the effectiveness of an educational intervention on nurses' knowledge regarding the administration of high-alert medications. BACKGROUND Nurses' insufficient knowledge is considered to be one of the most significant factors contributing to medication errors. Most medication errors cause no harm to patients, but the incorrect administration of high-alert medications can result in serious consequences. A previous study by the same authors validated 20 true/false questions concerning high-alert medications and suggested that the topic be taught to nurses (Hsaio, et al., 2010. Nurses' knowledge of high-alert medications: Instrument development and validation. Journal of Advanced Nursing, 66(1), 177-199.). METHODS A randomized controlled trial was employed in 2009 in Taiwan. Twenty-one hospital wards and 232 nurses were randomized to control and intervention groups. The sixty-minute educational intervention was based on the viewing of a Powerpoint file developed for this study. The results were compared pre-intervention and six weeks post-intervention by means of a test comprising the 20 questions regarding high-alert medications. FINDINGS The pre-intervention baseline data for correct answer rate was 75.8% (mean; n=232). After the intervention, the post-test showed significant improvement in the intervention group (n=113) (pre vs. post; 77.2±15.5 vs. 94.7±7.6; paired t=10.82, p<0.0001) but not in the control group (n=112) (pre vs. post; 74.3±14.7 vs. 75.5±14.2; paired t=0.60; p=0.247). CONCLUSIONS Educational intervention appears to be effective in strengthening nurses' knowledge of high-alert medications. The Powerpoint file presented teaching material which is both suitable and feasible for hospital-based continuing education.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Home healthcare nurses in their roles as caregivers, educators and administrators of medications are particularly well positioned to act on a preventive way to be alert of adverse drug reactions. However, knowledge about medication and a professional attitude is required. AIM To describe medication-related knowledge and perspectives of Dutch home healthcare nurses regarding frequent used medication by older people. METHOD A cross-sectional study was conducted among home healthcare nurses (n=146) in the Netherlands based on the ten most frequently used drugs by older people. FINDING The mean score for total medication knowledge was 76.2% of the maximum score. Most home healthcare nurses (80.3%) felt responsible for improving older patients' medication use. Three-quarters of the home healthcare nurses agreed with the statement: "By taking appropriate action at the right time, I am able to prevent a medication-related hospital admission". CONCLUSION Although most home healthcare nurses felt responsible for their older patients' proper medication use and agreed with the statement that they played a role in preventing older patients' medication-related hospital admissions, their knowledge regarding medications could be improved. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE Home healthcare nurses should profit as a professional from gaining more knowledge of medication frequently used by older people.

Abstract
Aim: A key role of renal nurses is the correct and safe administration of immunosuppressive drug therapy (ImmRx) to kidney transplant recipients. The authors sought to examine the knowledge and competency of ImmRx in kidney transplant patients and whether an annual kidney transplant nurse education programme had any beneficial effects. Methods: The study population was comprised of 63.2% (n=50/79) of all nurses from renal wards (ward A (n=17/35), ward B (n=21/32)) and 12 nurses from a high-dependency urology ward (ward C (n=12)). Kidney transplant patients usually receive inpatient care in wards A, B or C only as these wards specialise in urology and renal care. Each nurse completed a 35-question test that covered ImmRx in areas of indication, identification, interaction, pharmcokinetics/pharmacodynamics, therapeutic drug monitoring, administration and adverse effects. A minimum score of 70% was required to pass the test. Results: Only 46% of participants passed the test. The proportion of nurses who passed was not significantly different with respect to years of nursing experience, professional rank, postgraduate nursing qualifications or ward location. Unexpectedly, a greater proportion of nurses who did not attend the education programme passed the test (63.6%; n=14/22) than those who did attend it (32.1%; n=9/28]; p=0.03). Notably, 24% (n=12/50), 4% (n=2/50) and 4% (n=2/50) were unable to correctly answer any of the identification, interaction and therapeutic drug monitoring questions. Conclusion: These findings suggest that the nurses' understanding and knowledge of ImmRx is insufficient and they need to update their knowledge on ImmRx continually.

Abstract
Background Medication errors are often involved in reported adverse events. Drug therapy, prescribed by physicians, is mostly carried out by nurses, who are expected to master all aspects of medication. Research has revealed the need for improved knowledge in drug dose calculation, and medication knowledge as a whole is poorly investigated. The purpose of this survey was to study registered nurses' medication knowledge, certainty and estimated risk of errors, and to explore factors associated with good results. Methods Nurses from hospitals and primary health care establishments were invited to carry out a multiple-choice test in pharmacology, drug management and drug dose calculations (score range 0-14). Self-estimated certainty in each answer was recorded, graded from 0 = very uncertain to 3 = very certain. Background characteristics and sense of coping were recorded. Risk of error was estimated by combining knowledge and certainty scores. The results are presented as mean (±SD). Results Two-hundred and three registered nurses participated (including 16 males), aged 42.0 (9.3) years with a working experience of 12.4 (9.2) years. Knowledge scores in pharmacology, drug management and drug dose calculations were 10.3 (1.6), 7.5 (1.6), and 11.2 (2.0), respectively, and certainty scores were 1.8 (0.4), 1.9 (0.5), and 2.0 (0.6), respectively. Fifteen percent of the total answers showed a high risk of error, with 25% in drug management. Independent factors associated with high medication knowledge were working in hospitals (p < 0.001), postgraduate specialization (p = 0.01) and completion of courses in drug management (p < 0.01). Conclusions Medication knowledge was found to be unsatisfactory among practicing nurses, with a significant risk for medication errors. The study revealed a need to improve the nurses' basic knowledge, especially when referring to drug management.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate graduating students' pharmacological knowledge and calculation skills and describe their self-rated readiness to safe medication care in practice on two nurse educational levels. Additionally, the study describes some characteristics of pharmacology in nurse education in Flanders, Belgium. METHODS Thirty-eight nursing schools (bachelor's degree in nursing [N=18] and diploma in nursing [N=20]) were asked to provide details on their pharmacology curriculum and to let their graduating students participate in a cross-sectional survey using the Medication Knowledge and Calculation test in February/March 2009. RESULTS The 29 participating schools showed a large diversity in pharmacology curricula. Mean scores on the pharmacology section and calculation section were 55% and 66%, respectively, for bachelor's degree and 52% and 53% for diploma students. On a scale of 1-10, 27% had a self-rated readiness perception≤5. Results differed significantly between schools. CONCLUSIONS Just before graduation, nursing students' pharmacological knowledge and calculation skills are limited. Apart from the test results, students did not perceive themselves able to deliver safe medication care in practice. Schools need to address the shortcomings. In practice, awareness is needed regarding possible limitations of the newly graduated.

Abstract
AIMS To investigate the efficacy of a 14-month integrated pharmacology and medicines management curriculum for undergraduate nursing students on the acquisition of applied drug/pharmacology knowledge. BACKGROUND Despite considerable debate regarding nurses' ability to be able to fulfill their medication management responsibilities, little is known about how nurses should be educated in medicines management. METHODS Two groups of nursing students were compared. The first group were exposed to the usual curriculum (control group), whilst a second group experienced a new integrated pharmacology and medicines management curriculum (intervention group) (N=120). The impact of the curriculum on applied drug knowledge was assessed using a 69 item short answer questionnaire relating to a vignette. Students also undertook a 42 item on-line test exploring principles of pharmacokinetics. Students were also asked to self-rate their knowledge using a four point likert scale which asked how confident they were in relation to the prescribed medication regime. The data were collected in July 2008. The intervention group was exposed to an integrated curriculum approach, whilst the control group undertook periods of supervised practice within a clinical environment supported with a workbook and practice assessment learning outcomes. RESULTS/FINDINGS Students exposed to an integrated approach to pharmacology and medicines management demonstrated superior pharmacokinetic knowledge and were more able to apply drug knowledge to the patient vignettes than the control group. CONCLUSION An early introduction of an integrated approach to the teaching and assessing of pharmacological processes improves students' drug knowledge prior to qualification. A sound preparation will help to ensure safe and effective medicines management care for patients and will prepare nurses for post graduate education and further training.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to describe current status of oral medication management and related situations by nurses who work on psychiatric wards in Turkey. The study was performed in 34 psychiatric wards in Turkey, and 471 nurses agreed to participate in the study. Data were collected by a questionnaire. In our study, it was determined that one quarter of the nurses do not collect data about past medication history of the patient before giving medications, and 59.7% of the nurses checked all the patients' mouths after each pill was given. The orders are checked by 80.5% of the nurses every day. The leading patient reaction nurses face during medication administration was refusal to take the medication. The nurses stated that they first informed the physician without making any intervention on patients who did not take their pills. The nurses primarily observed the patient to evaluate the effect of a medication (84.3%) and, with a similar percent (82.8%), the side effects of a medication. In conclusion, continuing education, certification and post-graduated courses is provided for nurses about their other roles and responsibilities as well as increasing the quality of oral medication administration which is a difficult area.

Abstract
AIM This paper is a discussion of practical wisdom (phronesis) and spirituality in holistic caring and strategies to facilitate their application in nurse education. BACKGROUND Phronesis, with its inherent spiritual qualities, is an established aspect of the persona of excellent clinical leaders. There is a strong case for recognizing the value of this characteristic in all nurses, and a strategy is required for engendering the development of phronesis during nurse education. DATA SOURCES Electronic searches of Google Scholar and CINAHL were conducted for English language publications in the period 1996-2008. Search terms included combinations of phronesis, spirituality, health, education, pharmacology, medicines and medication education, holistic care and spiritual care. Selection of items for inclusion was based on their pertinence to the arguments being developed and their value as leads to earlier material. DISCUSSION The links between the attributes of effective clinical leaders and those required for holistic caring are explicated and related to phronesis, the acquisition of which involves spiritual development. An explanatory account of phronesis and its applicability to nursing leads to an explanation of how its spiritual aspects in particular might be incorporated into learning for holistic care. Reference to research in medicines-related education illustrates how the principles can be applied in nurse education. CONCLUSION Nursing quality could be enhanced if adequate opportunities for acquiring phronesis through experiential learning were provided in nursing curricula. Phronesis and spiritual care could be incorporated into existing models of nursing care or new models devised to use these critical concepts.

Abstract
The place of nurse prescribing and the preparation for this role is an educational challenge that has been heavily debated in New Zealand and overseas for the past 10 years. Nurse prescribing is relatively new in New Zealand and is related to the expanding roles and opportunities for nurses in health care. Opposition to nurse prescribing in New Zealand has been marked and often this has been linked to concerns over patient safety with the implication that nurses could not be adequately prepared for safe prescribing. The educational framework used to teach pharmacology to nurses by one university in New Zealand is presented, along with early findings on the effectiveness of this approach. Further research is required to confirm that nurse prescribers in New Zealand are well prepared and able to utilise effective decision-making processes for safe prescribing.

Abstract
AIM This paper reports on the non-participant observational findings from a study, which examined hospital-based nurses' health promoting nursing practice in an acute setting. BACKGROUND Nurses are considered to have a key role in health promotion. However, the development of the role of the generalist hospital-based nurse in health promotion has been slow and is not well-understood. METHOD The conceptual framework used was based on the Ottawa Charter (WHO 1986). A single qualitative embedded case study, employing data source and methodological triangulation was used. A framework for identifying nurse's use of health promotion methods was developed and used to collect non-participant observations on a purposive sample of eight nurses working on an acute hospital ward. Following the observations a semi structured one-to-one interview was conducted with each observed nurse. One randomly selected patient that the observed nurse had cared for during the observations was also interviewed. Qualitative data analysis based on the work of Miles and Huberman was employed. RESULTS Two categories were identified 'health promotion strategies and content' and 'patient participation'. The findings indicated that, overall, the strategies used by nurses to promote health were prescriptive and individualistic. The main strategy observed was information giving and the content was 'preparatory information'. Predominantly, nurses practised traditional health education. Overall, patient participation was limited to minor personal aspects of care as nurses focused on the routine and getting the tasks completed. There was no evidence of a ward culture which valued health promotion. CONCLUSIONS Ward managers are key in creating a culture for health promotion. A review of the methods of organizing nursing care is warranted. RELEVANCE TO CLINICAL PRACTICE Nursing programmes must highlight health promotion as integral to practice and emphasis the socio-political dimensions of health promotion.

Abstract
The Internet is becoming a preferred place to find information. Millions of people go online in the search of health and medical information. Likewise, the demand for Web-based courses grows. This article presents the development, utilization and evaluation of a web-based pharmacology course for nursing students. The course was developed based on 150 commonly used drugs. There were 110 year 1 nursing students took part in the course. After attending six hours face to face lecture of pharmacology over three weeks, students were invited to complete a questionnaire (pre-test) about learning pharmacology. The course materials were then uploaded to a WebCT for student's self-directed learning and attempts to pass two scheduled online quizzes. At the end of the semester, students were given the same questionnaire (post-test). There were a significant increase in the understanding compared with memorizing the subject content, the development of problem solving ability in learning pharmacology and becoming an independent learner (p ,0.05). Online quizzes yielded satisfactory results. In the focused group interview, students appreciated the time flexibility and convenience associated with web-based learning, also, they had made good suggestions in enhancing web-based learning. Web-based approach is promising for teaching and learning pharmacology for nurses and other health-care professionals.

Abstract
UNLABELLED OBJECTIVE (OF THE STUDY): To provide data on the views of chief pharmacists (CPs) and primary care trust pharmacists (PCTPs) on the risks and concerns surrounding supplementary prescribing. SETTING Secondary and primary care within England. METHOD Postal questionnaire surveys of chief pharmacists and primary care trust pharmacists. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE Significance of the association between the extracted factors. RESULTS The response rate was 68% for both the primary care (183/271) and secondary care surveys (97/143). The survey tool was subjected to factor analysis and reliability testing. For both sectors, the three factors that were extracted described concerns over the training model for supplementary prescribing, concerns about the professional competency/responsibility of the supplementary prescribers once trained, and positivity about the implementation of supplementary prescribing. For both sectors, as trusts have more experience of supplementary prescribing by nurses, the respondents had less concerns about the supplementary prescribing training model. For secondary care, as the total number of pharmacists employed within the trust increases, the respondents had less concerns over the limitations of the supplementary prescribing training model. CONCLUSION Although both sectors have concerns over the training model for supplementary prescribing and also professional competence and responsibility once trainees qualify, there is overall a positive attitude towards supplementary prescribing and there is a belief that pharmacists wish to take this role on.

Abstract
The health care environment requires that practitioners have sufficient mathematical skills to perform accurate, safe and effective medication administration. This is a highly responsible and nursing task, which is performed daily. In this study 364 nurses and 282 graduating nursing students in Finland completed the Medication Calculation Skills Test (MCS Test). According to the findings students lacked accurate mathematical skills, while nurses attained higher scores in the test. Nurses with an upper secondary school education managed better with the calculation problems than nurses with a lower basic education. Students who had an excellent mark (9-10) in mathematics, had studied mathematics longer at high school and were more satisfied with the amount of medication calculation instructions and scored higher in the MCS Test than others. The differences between the nurses' and students' mathematical skills were significant. The MCS Test could be used to measure one's own skills and to give information of the mathematical skill level for constructing a nursing curriculum or additional training for clinical practice.

Abstract
Undergraduate pharmacology education for nurses has tended to follow one of two broad approaches, either specific courses in pharmacology or an integrated approach, where the pharmacology content is blended with other content. The School of Nursing at the University of Auckland selected an integrated approach to pharmacology education for nurses aligned with constructivist learning theory. The weaving of pharmacology through the three-year undergraduate curriculum is described, showing the development of a pharmacology curricula thread. The significance of supporting curricula content in areas such as communication skills, law and ethics, as well as sound biological science and physiology knowledge are highlighted. A sound understanding of pharmacology knowledge does not develop in isolation. Rather pharmacology education in the undergraduate nurse is the beginning of developing pharmacological reasoning and providing the skills for life-long learning in this ever changing subject.

Abstract
AIM This paper reports a study to explore the expectations, attainments and opinions of the participants, the objectives and experiences of nurse facilitators, and the changes in nurse-client relationship after a small-group hypertension health education programme. BACKGROUND Effective control of blood pressure among hypertensive patients is essential in the reduction of cerebrovascular-related morbidity and mortality. A 'small-group hypertension education programme' has been implemented in all general outpatient clinics in Hong Kong since 2000. In order to identify what aspects of the programme were beneficial and how it benefited clients, a process evaluation study was conducted. METHODS Following implementation of a small-group hypertension health education programme, two focus groups were run to collect data from eight nurse facilitators, and individual semi-structured interviews were conducted with 16 programme participants. The data were collected in 2001. FINDINGS The findings indicate that both clients and nurses gained a great deal from and enjoyed the process of this health education programme, and their relationships were improved after the programme. About half of the clients reported having adopted health-enhancing behaviour. The study also revealed discrepancies between the nurses and clients in their perceptions of the objectives of the programme. This indicates that there is a need to clarify the objectives with clients to minimize disappointments from unrealistic expectations. CONCLUSION There is a need for the nurse facilitators to clarify the goal of the programme as an education group rather than as a support group. Also, needs assessment is suggested before group member recruitment in order to make the group more homogeneous.

Abstract
Three approaches to teaching and learning are introduced. Each approach has its relative merits and disadvantages. Ideally, each approach should not be used in isolation. The use of facilitatory approaches to teaching and learning should be encouraged to assist the development of problem solving, decision making skills and creative and critical thinking in nurses, particularly those studying on competency-based education and training courses and programmes.

Abstract
UNLABELLED PURPOSES AND OBJECTIVES: The purposes of this study were to investigate the pharmacological skills of Finnish nurses and graduating nursing students, to determine how pharmacological skills are related to background factors and to identify differences between nurses and students and, finally, to examine how the instrument used, the Medication Calculation Skills Test, works. BACKGROUND Pharmacology is a relevant and topical subject. In several studies, however, pharmacological skills of nurses and nursing students have been found insufficient. In addition, pharmacology as a subject is found to be difficult for both nursing students and nurses. DESIGN AND METHODS The study was evaluative in nature; the data were collected using the Medication Calculation Skills Test, developed for the purposes of this study. The instrument was used to gather information on background factors and self-rated pharmacological and mathematical skills and to test actual skills in these areas. RESULTS Results concerning pharmacological skills are reported in this paper. The maximum Medication Calculation Skills Test score was 24 points. The mean score for nurses was 18.6 and that for students 16.3. Half of (50%) the students attained a score of 67% and 57% of nurses attained a score of 79%. CONCLUSIONS Nurses and students had some deficiencies in their pharmacological skills. Nurses had better pharmacological skills than students according to both self-ratings and actual performance on the test. RELEVANCE TO CLINICAL PRACTICE It is vitally important that nurses have adequate pharmacological skills to administer medicines correctly. This study showed that the Medication Calculation Skills Test seems to work well in measuring pharmacological skills, even though it needs further evaluation. Findings from this study can be used when planning the nursing curriculum and further education for Registered Nurses.

Abstract
The object of the present paper was to investigate whether or not the level of understanding of the mechanisms of drug action in nursing students is reflected in their descriptions of the factors in ineffective cases or adverse effects of prescribed medicines. The number of subcategories identified in the descriptions was closely connected with the test scores from the multiple-choice and short-answer written examination on 'Pharmacology and Pharmaceutics', and those from questions about the mechanisms of drug action. These results suggest that the number is useful for an estimated assessment of the level of understanding of the mechanisms of drug action.

Abstract
This literature review aims to explore nurse education and the impact this has had on preparing nurses to become nurse prescribers and nurse prescribing research. Research about the initial nurse prescribing education and training programme indicated that although patients were content with nurses prescribing medication, nurses lacked confidence in applied pharmacology and therapeutics and hence, required additional scientific education. With the implementation of extended nurse prescribing, it is conjectural to assume that nurses have been prepared more effectively until results from the national evaluation are available. One can suggest that pre-registration nurses should receive a comprehensive scientific foundation in applied pharmacology and therapeutics and professional knowledge in order to prepare them for post graduate education and training in medication management.

Abstract
The purpose of the present study was to explore graduate nurses' perceptions of their medication management activities in the acute care context. A qualitative research design with a semistructured interview schedule was used to elicit information from participants. The sampling population consisted of graduate nurses involved in direct patient care in medical and surgical wards of a Melbourne metropolitan teaching hospital, completing a graduate nurse program. Twelve graduate nurses participated in the interviews. Two major themes emerged: (i). monitoring medications and (ii). interventions for patient care. The findings indicate that graduate nurses are required to address several facets of the medication management role in their daily practice. It is pertinent to examine ward dynamics to ensure that graduate nurses have ready access to experienced health care professionals. Through collegial support, graduate nurses should also be encouraged to critically examine the different possibilities when making clinical judgments about monitoring patient medications.

Abstract
It has been shown that older people are more likely than younger people to be prescribed a variety and number of medications (Lindley and Tulley, 1992). Older people are especially vulnerable to the effects of medication, particularly because of the possibility of medication mismanagement and non-concordance with prescribed medication regiment. People become increasingly sensitive to the actions of drugs with increasing age and, added to the problems of memory deterioration and physiological changes, medication-taking behaviour can alter quite dramatically (National Prescribing Centre, 2000). Reductions in the quantity of prescribed medication and the use of prescribing indicators aim to improve concordance with medication in older people. Patient education should be an inclusive component of patient care, not a concern before patient discharge. Education can take numerous forms, both written and verbal, and it needs to be patient-centred and specific to the medication being discussed. As healthcare professionals, nurses, pharmacists and medical colleagues should work collaboratively to reduce the frequency of medication mismanagement in older people.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pharmacology education in nursing has become increasingly important as nurses' roles in administering, prescribing and educating patients about their medications have grown. Some authors have expressed concern at the lack of science teaching in nurse education, and others have suggested that there is a theory-practice gap in this area of the curriculum. AIM This paper reports a study to explore nurses' pharmacology education needs by identifying nursing roles that require pharmacology knowledge, and nurses' preparation for practice from preregistration pharmacology education. METHOD A qualitative approach was used to collect data from a purposive sample of 10 qualified nurses from an emergency admissions unit in a city in the north of England. Semi-structured interviews were transcribed verbatim and categorized using Burnard's 14 stages. FINDINGS This study revealed a limited understanding of the subject, and dissatisfaction with the teaching of pharmacology, with resulting anxiety on qualifying. Nursing roles identified as requiring pharmacology knowledge included drug administration, patient assessment, nurse prescribing, and patient medication education. CONCLUSION The findings suggest that, although nurses have a limited understanding of pharmacology, they recognize the need for pharmacology knowledge in practice. Improved pharmacology teaching might increase nurses' confidence in performing drug administration, patient education, and nurse prescribing, and decrease anxieties related to these roles.

Abstract
United Kingdom Government initiatives such as The NHS Plan (DoH 2000) identified the need for nurses to undertake multi-skilled professional roles. In the United Kingdom, the transition to a larger graduate nurse workforce continues, as Universities offer nurse pre-registration courses at diploma and degree levels. Concomitant with the change in educational standard is the need to teach student nurses the theoretical principles of medication management and to develop skills in clinical reasoning skills. Both elements are limited in current educational pre-registration nurse programmes, in order to develop the future, multi-skilled workforce such courses should incorporate the theory and skills of health assessment, physical examination, applied pharmacology and clinical reasoning. This paper aims to examine how knowledge of applied pharmacology and therapeutics can be integrated into an undergraduate pre-registration nursing programme. Discussion focuses on how this generic framework can provide educators with an outline of the theoretical constructs, their application, the teaching strategies involved and instruction on how to prepare nurses to clinically reason with regard to medication management issues. This framework can be adapted to accommodate nurses studying for all parts of the register.

Abstract
AIMS This study was designed to investigate what type of models, techniques and data are necessary to support the development of a decision support system for health promotion practice in nursing. Specifically, the research explored how interview data can be interpreted in terms of Concept Networks and Bayesian Networks, both of which provide formal methods for describing the dependencies between factors or variables in the context of decision-making in health promotion. BACKGROUND In nursing, the lack of generally accepted examples or guidelines by which to implement or evaluate health promotion practice is a challenge. Major gaps have been identified between health promotion rhetoric and practice and there is a need for health promotion to be presented in ways that make its attitudes and practices more easily understood. New tools, paradigms and techniques to encourage the practice of health promotion would appear to be beneficial. Concept Networks and Bayesian Networks are techniques that may assist the research team to understand and explicate health promotion more specifically and formally than has been the case, so that it may more readily be integrated into nursing practice. METHODS As the ultimate goal of the study was to investigate ways to use the techniques described above, it was necessary to first generate data as text. Textual descriptions of health promotion in nursing were derived from in-depth qualitative interviews with nurses nominated by their peers as expert health promoting practitioners. FINDINGS The nurses in this study gave only general and somewhat vague outlines of the concepts and ideas that guided their practice. These data were compared with descriptions from various sources that describe health promotion practices in nursing, then examples of a Conceptual Network and a representative Bayesian Network were derived from the data. CONCLUSIONS The study highlighted the difficulty in describing health promotion practice, even among nurses recognized for their expertise in health promotion. Nevertheless, it indicated the data collection and analysis methods necessary to explicate the cognitive processes of health promotion and highlighted the benefits of using formal conceptualization techniques to improve health promotion practice.

Abstract
With recent media attention on medication errors in nursing practice (Berens, 2000), nursing curricula must include a method of teaching pharmacology that promotes student learning. The purpose of this nonexperimental, descriptive exploratory study was to retrospectively compare two delivery methods: integrated pharmacology content throughout a 4-year curriculum and a separate pharmacology course offered during the sophomore year. Data, from a convenience sample of 299 senior nursing students who wrote the National League for Nursing computerized adaptive pharmacology test, were analyzed using chi-square. Findings demonstrated that teaching a separate pharmacology course did not result in an increase in scores. Faculty are, therefore, encouraged to plan defined content enhancement throughout the curriculum when pharmacology is taught as a separate course.

Abstract
This paper explores clinical nurses' perceptions and experiences of graduate nurses' pharmacology knowledge. Six focus group interviews were conducted with clinical nurses of various appointment levels at two metropolitan public and two regional public hospitals in Victoria, Australia. Four major themes emerged from the study. First, participants indicated that graduate nurses had an overall lack of depth of pharmacology knowledge. While clinical nurses indicated that graduate nurses had enormous deficits in their pharmacology education, these deficits were not confined to graduate nurses--all nurses experienced difficulties in understanding and demonstrating pharmacological concepts in the clinical practice setting. Second, there was an unstructured approach to addressing the continuing education needs of graduate nurses. Third, theoretical and clinical principles of pharmacology knowledge were perceived to be important for practice. Fourth, improvements for nursing education involved the need for undergraduate students to take greater responsibility in monitoring and administering medications and the need for more structured learning experiences. The ultimate goal of consolidating pharmacology knowledge for graduate nurses is to optimise medication use, thereby improving the health outcomes of patients. Current teaching and learning opportunities appear to be inadequate in their efforts to enhance and improve graduate nurses' pharmacology knowledge. These inadequacies need to be addressed if the ultimate goal is to become a reality.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Nurses have key responsibilities in the administration and management of medication therapy and client education. It is of some concern therefore that the literature indicates that nurses are inadequately prepared in this area. AIMS This paper explores the perceptions and expectations of lecturers about teaching and learning pharmacology in preregistration nursing courses. RESEARCH METHODS Questionnaires were distributed to lecturers involved in teaching pharmacology to undergraduate nursing students during 2000. The questionnaire was distributed to all university campuses (n = 13) in Victoria, Australia, that are involved in undergraduate nursing education. The questionnaire was an adaptation of the survey instrument used in the Nursing and Medication Education [NAME] project and examined in this questionnaire: the integration of pharmacology teaching into nursing, range and depth of classroom-based pharmacology teaching, approaches to teaching and learning, nursing practice in a clinical context, related importance of patient education and communication skills, and the appropriate professional background of academics teaching pharmacology to preregistration nursing students. RESULTS There was great variation between institutions as to the number of hours devoted to pharmacology and when it was offered. A number of respondents indicated that they were dissatisfied with the preparation of graduates and their knowledge base in pharmacology. LIMITATIONS The study was limited by a low response rate of 34%. CONCLUSIONS A review of nursing curricula is required to improve the knowledge base of nurses in pharmacology and to facilitate their skills in life-long learning.

Abstract
This paper explores the perceptions and experiences of lecturers and undergraduate nursing students relating to teaching and learning issues in pharmacology. A total of 14 focus group interviews were conducted at 10 university settings, which involved seven academic staff and seven student interviews. The focus group interviewing method was used because it enabled all participants to have 'a say', facilitated the expression of diverse views, and allowed participants to express themselves without fear that their views would be openly criticised. Student participants comprised second and third year undergraduate nurses while lecturer participants involved course coordinators, subject coordinators, and bioscience and nursing lecturers. The 'framework' method was used for data analysis, which involved the following stages: familiarisation, identifying a thematic framework, indexing, charting, and finally, mapping and interpretation. Four major themes emerged from discussions with lecturers and students: teaching considerations, learning considerations, the relationship between pharmacology knowledge and clinical practice, and the features of an 'ideal' programme in pharmacology. The findings highlighted that potential conflicts existed among academic staff relating to the balance of pharmacology and nursing content in curricula, which often led to over-laden curricula. Potential conflicts also existed between lecturers and students about the value placed on a separate pharmacology subject as opposed to an integrated pharmacology programme. In summary, there is still much scope for educational initiatives to improve students' knowledge of pharmacology and medication management.

Abstract
Working on the front lines in health care at the bedsides, in the primary and specialty care offices and in the community with patients; and in health care education, teaching graduate and undergraduate students, is more challenging today than ever before. Shifts in reimbursement from fee for service to a managed care model, increasingly informed consumers, and increasingly complex health problems create a tension that often leaves the advanced practice nurse (APN) managing conflicting human and business interests. Nurse educators must prepare providers to function in that world. Using Problem-Based Learning (PBL) to provide APN students with experiences that will supply them with rehearsal will better prepare them to function in today's primary care environment. Providing PBL using the Internet is the next logical step and may insure that this type of experience is more widely available to students.
