Item Restricted Medication Safety Education in Undergraduate Pharmacy and Nursing Schools in the UK and Saudi Arabia(Imperial College London, 2023) Albadali, Hind; Woloshynowych, Maria; Franklin, BryonyIntroduction: This thesis focused on medication and patient safety from a global perspective (UK and Saudi Arabia), the rationale being the increase in medication error incidents resulting from a lack of proper patient safety education in nursing and pharmacy programmes which contribute to serious patient safety issues. Literature revealed the limitations on achieving positive outcomes in nursing and pharmacy education. Aim: to identify current medication and patient safety education in these countries and to analyse factors affecting adequate teaching and recommendations for improvement. Research Methodology: A systematic narrative review and mixed method research design were used to investigate many educational issues. Data Collection: used literature search for published papers, document review, semi-structured individual interviews and focus group for qualitative data and a questionnaire for quantitative data. Data Analysis: used systematic narrative analysis, thematic analysis and various statistical techniques to analyse data (separate data review for pharmacy and nursing). Results: revealed a disagreement on the explicitness and mode of integration, diverse content delivery, many educational didactic and interactive methods, a growing interest in simulation methods, the inter-professional learning method, curriculum guides and educational framework were rarely used and obstacles to integrating medication safety were identified. Furthermore, students’ confidence in learning about patient safety domains between classroom and clinical settings differed. Conclusion: Although medication and patient safety education is well received, strategies are needed to improve medication and patient safety education to allow for effective integration in the curriculum. UK and Saudi Arabian educational and health sector policymakers should prioritise improving medication and patient safety education. Recommendations: Future researches should investigate the content, methods of delivering medication and patient safety education, curriculum guides, framework for teaching and factors that prevent the effective integration of medication safety education. Students’ confidence in patient safety topics in classroom and clinical settings needs evaluation.17 0Item Restricted The Impact of High-Fidelity Simulation on Undergraduate Nursing students Performing Safe Medication Administration: A Systematised Review(Saudi Digital Library, 2023-08-01) Alaklabi, Azzah; McCallum, LouiseBackground: Medication errors pose a significant risk to patient safety, highlighting the importance of well-trained nursing students. High-fidelity simulation has emerged as an effective teaching method in medication administration. However, due to variations in fidelity levels across reviewed studies and a focus on healthcare professionals in recent review, this review aims to assess the impact of HFS on the knowledge, competence, and confidence of undergraduate nursing students in performing safe medication administration. Methods: Following PRISMA guidelines, searches were conducted in CINAHL, MEDLINE, Scopus, and ERIC databases for peer-reviewed publications between 2012 and 2023. Specific keywords and inclusion/exclusion criteria were used to identify quantitative studies. Methodological quality was assessed using JBI tools, and findings were synthesised narratively. Results: A total of 148 studies, only seven studies were included. Synthesis of the data consistently demonstrated improvement in knowledge (p = 0.02-0.07), competence (p = 0.00- 0.66), and confidence (p = 0.04-0.96). Compared to control groups, students in the intervention groups achieved higher scores. However, the included studies had lower to moderate quality, limiting generalizability. Conclusion: High-fidelity simulation is a valuable approach for enhancing the knowledge, competence, and confidence of nursing students in medication administration. The findings provide important guidance for effective teaching practices. Further research is needed to improve the quality of evidence by using more robust methodologies. Additionally, future studies should investigate cost-effectiveness, develop reliable measurement tools, and determine the optimal duration for simulation sessions. Dissemination: The findings will be published in high-impact nursing education journals such as the "Journal of Nursing Education '' and presented as e-posters at the Saudi Conference for Health Simulation12 0
