The Effects of Using the Web-Based Double Eye Control Program on Medication Error

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.
