Abstract
Purpose: This study investigated the effects of augmented reality (AR) smart glasses-based nursing skills training for nursing students’ medication administration safety competency. Methods: A nonequivalent control group non-synchronized design was used. The participants were 63 sophomore nursing students taking fundamental nursing practice, with 33 in the experimental group and 30 in the control group. The nursing intervention in this study was AR smart glasses-based training on peripheral intravenous infusion nursing skills. In the pretest, information about participants’ general characteristics and confidence in medication safety were collected, and the post-test measured flow degree, learning satisfaction, skill competency, and confidence in medication safety. The collected data were analyzed using the x2 test, the Fisher exact test, and the independent t-test. Results: There were significant differences in the flow degree score, learning satisfaction score, and skill competency score between the two groups. Conclusion: This study confirmed that providing AR smart glasses-based nursing skills training for medication administration contributed to increasing flow degree, learning satisfaction, and skill competency among nursing students.
