Summary

Methods: The study was carried out as a quasi-experimental study in the Pediatric Surgery Clinics of a university hospital using the "Pre-Test-Post-Test Model in a Single Group". The sample of the study consisted of all high-risk drugs administered by 24 nurses working in these clinics, taking part in medication and agreeing to take part in the study. Data were collected by the researcher using the Medication Observation Form. The Form was created based on the literature, and by making use of the "10 Correct Rules in Medication" and the Medication Skills Steps in the Double Eye Control Program. In the first step, medication error rates were determined through observation method. In the second step; the Web-Based Double-Eye Control Program, which is a standard drug dose calculation and medication program created by the researchers, was started to be implemented. Medication error rates were determined again through post-intervention observation method. Informed voluntary consent, ethics committee and hospital permissions were obtained for the implementation of the study.

Web-Based Double-Eye Control Program

Web-Based Double-Eye Control Program, a web-based drug dose calculation program, is compatible with smartphones, tablets and computers. On the interface of the website, the nurse is required to enter data such as the age, weight, medications and doses ordered by the physician of the patient. When all these data are entered, the amount of medication that the nurse should give and whether the ordered dose is within the safe dose range for the patient are calculated by the program, so that the nurse can control her own calculations. On the other interface of the website, there are medication instructions uploaded by the researchers. With this interface, nurses access all pharmacological information about especially high-risk drugs (indications, contraindications, interacting drugs and fluids, fluids to be used for diluting, medication route, medication pace, etc.) and information that will enable the medication to be carried out in a standard way.
