Abstract

The purpose of this study is to find the level of drug dose calculations and confidence of nursing students who completed fundamental nursing. After receiving informed consent, questionnaires and drug dose calculation paper of 152 subjects were collected. The data were analyzed using SPSS 19.0. The $mean{\pm}SD$ of drug dose calculations was $7.46{\pm}1.97$ on a scale of 10, the mean score of male students was higher than female's(t=3.64, p=.001), and the mean score of science was higher than vocational's according to high school departments(F=5.11, p=.007). In the score of confidence, the $mean{\pm}SD$ was $4.12{\pm}1.12$ on a scale of 6, the mean score of male students was higher than female's(t=8.94, p=.001), and the science was higher than humanity or vocational(F=6.28, p=.002). There was a positive correlation between drug dose calculation and confidence scores(r= .32, p=.001), and explanation rate of confidence on drug dose calculation was 10.2%(p=0.001) in regression analysis. This suggests that nursing students need to improve drug dose calculation ability by strengthening confidence.

본 연구는 기본간호학 과정을 이수한 간호 학생의 약물용량 계산과 자신감의 정도를 조사하기 위해 수행되었다. 연구 참여동의서를 작성 후 설문지와 약물 용량계산시험지를 수집하였고, 수집된 자료는 SPSS 19.0으로 분석하였다. 약물 용량 계산평균점수는 10점 만점에 $7.46{\pm}1.97$점이었고, 남학생이 여학생보다 높았으며(t=3.64, p=.001), 자연계 출신이 실업계 출신보다 높았다(F=5.11, p=.007). 자신감 평균점수는 6점 만점에 $4.12{\pm}1.12$점이었고, 남학생이 여학생보다 높았으며(t=8.94, p=.001), 고등학교 계열별로는 자연계 출신이 인문계나 실업계 출신보다 높았다(F=6.28, p=.002). 약물 용량 계산과 자신감 간 중등도의 양의 상관관계가 있었고(r= .32, p=.001), 약물 용량 계산과 자신감 간 회귀분석에서 약물 용량 계산에 대한 자신감의 설명력은 10.2%로 나타났다(p=0.001). 본 연구의 결과는 간호 학생의 자신감을 강화시켜 약물 용량 계산의 정확성을 꾀할 필요를 시사한다.
