Background: Effective and safe administration of medication is one of the most important nursing activities that requires a set of knowledge and specialized skills to reduce medication errors and improve patient safety. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of mobile-based training on nurses' performance and self-efficacy of the safe practice for intravenous push Medications. Design: A quasi-experimental research design was used to achieve the aim of the current study. Setting: The study was conducted at the General Medical and Surgical Department at Benha University Hospital, Qalyubia Governorate, Egypt. Sample: A convenient sample of nurses working in the Medical and Surgical Departments included 80 from the Medical Department and 51 from the Surgical Department. Tools: The data was collected using three tools: I. The self-administered questionnaire included knowledge and self-efficacy. II. Nurses' competency skill observational checklist assessment. Results: A significant statistical improvement was observed in the nurses' knowledge mean % score, which increased by 85.36% of the total mean score in the second week post mobile-based training. Similarly, the nurses' practice improved to 92.87% of the total mean score in the second week of post-training compared with the pre-training intervention. Moreover, the nurses' self-efficacy showed a marked enhancement in the same period post-mobile-based training compared to the pre-training intervention, with a P-value < 0.001**. Conclusion: Nurses’ knowledge, practice, and self-efficacy had been significantly improved post mobile-based training, which reflects that Mobile videos can reinforce practical mobile training skills through repeated viewing on mobile and allow flexibility for learning nurses at their own pace. It supported the research hypotheses. Recommendations: Provide necessary support, including technical assistance and time management strategies, to facilitate the successful adoption of mobile-based training |
