High-Fidelity Simulation: A New Method for Improving Medication Administration Skills of Undergraduate Nursing Students in Jordan
The occurrence of errors in administering medicines has been on the increase amongst nursing students and thus can cause patients dire unexpected outcomes like having to be hospitalized and can even result in their deaths. Overreliance on traditional teaching methods and greater demand and competition among nursing schools for clinical placements are some barriers to expanding nursing students’ medication administration practices. Organizations like the World Health Organization in the Middle East and the Jordanian Nursing Council highlight the problem of MEs as one of the top research priorities and raised an urgent call for nursing schools to introduce new educational methods to teach future nurses safe medication administration. My dissertation research responds to this call for action, by conducting the first study using this approach in Jordan.
Anas Mohammad is an international student from Jordan. He earned his BSN degree from one of the best schools of nursing in Jordan (Jordan University of Science and Technology), Graduated 2006. Anas received his Masters degree in nursing informatics from the University of Michigan – Ann Arbor. Currently he is pursuing his PhD in nursing and will graduate in May. After completing his degree, he will go back to his home country Jordan. He will be a professor at Jordan University of Science and Technology – School of Nursing. He will work as much as possible for the benefit of all nurses in his country. His research interests lie generally in the areas of simulation in nursing education and nursing informatics.
