Green, C. (2018). Medication simulation: enhancing nursing students' clinical environmental awareness through self-care and promotion of patient safety. Whitireia Nursing and Health Journal, (25), 37–51.
Abstract: Undertakes an evidence-based practice pilot project to examine the effectiveness of simulation-based learning in teaching nursing students to become aware of the role of stress, anxiety and distraction in medication errors. Stresses the importance of medication-error prevention at the pre-licensure level, by increasing awareness of patient safety culture. Notes the need to teach nursing students self-awareness of the distractions and stresses within the clinical environment and therefore the need for self-care to avoid medication error.
