Summary

Care forms the basis of the nursing profession. Nurses have many roles, duties and responsibilities in the care process. One of these roles is safe drug practices within the scope of its therapeutic/healing role. Safe medication practices are an important component of patient safety, which is one of the most important indicators of quality in health care services. The pediatric patient group is a group at risk for medication errors. The reasons for this situation include the developmental characteristics of the pediatric group, their anatomical differences, their bioavailability, pharmacokinetic properties and pharmacodynamic properties compared to adults, the lack of ready-made forms of pediatric dose drugs, the excess of nurses' care practices in pediatric children, the limited communication ability of the pediatric patient, lack of personnel, medication for the pediatric group. There are deficiencies in application knowledge and skills. Medication errors can lead to fatal situations for children. There are a number of improvements made to prevent this situation. Despite all the improvements, it is seen that nurses continue to experience difficulties in drug preparation and administration, and medication administration is still a significant problem. One of the most important steps in solving this problem is the training on drug administration to be given during undergraduate education. Considering the learning skills and preferences of undergraduate nursing students living in adolescence, it is seen that they have a predisposition to technology, their ability to use it in daily life, and their interests. For this reason, it seems that technology-based applications can be used to help students learn medication practices more willingly, permanently and effectively. Technology and mobile applications; It is a learning method that affects all tactile, visual and kinesthetic areas. Use of technology in education; It develops independent learning skills, increases active learning, and offers different types of learning strategies together. It is planned to examine the effect of the mobile application developed with the planned project on the knowledge and skill level of intravenous (IV), intramuscular (IM) and subcutaneous (SC) drug applications, which are among the pediatric drug applications that are frequently mistaken in the literature.
