Abstract:

Background: Effective teaching strategies in nursing education are essential to ensure students’ mastery of critical skills such as drug dosage calculations. These calculations are pivotal for patient safety and quality care, yet many nursing students struggle with achieving competence in this area. Traditional teaching methods may fail to address different learning styles, highlighting the need for innovative, evidence-based approaches such as the Think-Pair-Share (TPS) strategy. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the TPS strategy in enhancing drug dosage calculation

Abstract Background Patient safety is a major part of nursing care and following patients’ medication orders is considered one of the greatest responsibilities of individual nurses and nursing Failure to make safe drug calculations poses serious risks to patient safety. It is therefore important to strengthen nursing students’ numeracy skills and conceptual abilities during their education. Research suggests that digital technologies play an increasingly important role in promoting nursing students’ knowledge and medication dosage calculation (MDC) skills.
