Abstract

             Background: Effective and safe administration of medication is one of the most important nursing activities that requires a set of knowledge and specialized skills to reduce medication errors and improve patient safety. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of mobile-based training on nurses' performance and self-efficacy of the safe practice for intravenous push Medications. Design: A quasi-experimental research design was used to achieve the aim of the current study. Setting: The study was conducted at the General Medical and Surgical Department at Benha University Hospital, Qalyubia Governorate, Egypt. Sample: A convenient sample of nurses working in the Medical and Surgical Departments included 80 from the Medical Department and 51 from the Surgical Department. Tools: The data was collected using three tools: I. The self-administered questionnaire included knowledge and self-efficacy. II. Nurses' competency skill observational checklist assessment. Results: A significant statistical improvement was observed in the nurses' knowledge mean % score, which increased by 85.36% of the total mean score in the second week post mobile-based training. Similarly, the nurses' practice improved to 92.87% of the total mean score in the second week of post-training compared with the pre-training intervention. Moreover, the nurses' self-efficacy showed a marked enhancement in the same period post-mobile-based training compared to the pre-training intervention, with a P-value < 0.001**. Conclusion: Nurses’ knowledge and practice had been significantly improved post mobile-based training, which reflects that mobile videos can reinforce nurses’ self-efficacy through repeated viewing on mobile and allow flexibility for learning nurses at their own pace. It supported the research hypotheses. Recommendations: Provide necessary support, including technical assistance and time management strategies, to facilitate the successful adoption of mobile-based training.
