Abstract
ABSTRACT This study aims to examine the knowledge gaps among nursing students regarding pediatric medication administration in selected nursing colleges in Perinthalmanna. A structured knowledge questionnaire was utilized to assess the level of understanding among third-year BSc nursing students at Alshifa College of Nursing. The study sought to identify areas requiring improvement and to evaluate the effectiveness of educational interventions. A total of 65 students participated, and findings are expected to inform targeted teaching strategies and improve pediatric medication safety. STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM A study to examine the knowledge among nursing students regarding pediatric medication administration in selected nursing colleges in Perinthalmanna. OBJECTIVES 1. To assess the existing knowledge of third-year BSc nursing students regarding pediatric medication administration. 2. To associate the knowledge of third-year BSc nursing students regarding pediatric medication administration with selected demographic variables HYPOTHESES H1- Nursing students have significant knowledge to paediatric medication administration. H2-There is a significant association between demographic variables and knowledge levels of nursing students regarding pediatric medication administration. In Quantitative approach the descriptive cross-sectional study design was used. Setting was Alshifa College of Nursing, Perinthalmanna. 65 students who are studying in third-year BSc nursing were taken as samples by convenient sampling technique. The demographic Performa includes age, batch of study, education of father, education of mother, and area of residence. A structured knowledge questionnaire regarding pediatric medication administration was used to collect data and assess the level of knowledge. Results A minority of students demonstrated poor knowledge, indicating the need for targeted interventions to improve their understanding of paediatric medication administration. Average Knowledge (36.0%): A substantial portion of students had an average knowledge level, suggesting a foundational understanding but room for improvement. Good Knowledge (47%): Almost half of the students exhibited good knowledge, indicating an encouraging level of competency among the majority. Excellent Knowledge (3%): Only a small percentage of students achieved an excellent knowledge level, highlighting the potential for further enhancement among this group. The chi-square analysis assessed whether there was a statistically significant association between knowledge scores and demographic variables and the following results were observed: Age (χ2 = 9.249, Table Value = 9.488): The chi-square value is less than the table value, indicating no significant association between age and knowledge scores. Gender (χ2 = 9.249, Table Value = 9.488): Similarly, the chi-square value for gender is less than the table value, showing no significant association with knowledge scores. Class of Study (χ2 = 0, Table Value = 7.851): With a chi-square value of zero, there is clearly no association between the class of study and knowledge scores. Occupation of Mother (χ2 = 17.065, Table Value = 18.307): The chi-square value is slightly below the table value, suggesting no statistically significant relationship between the mother's occupation and the student's knowledge. Occupation of Father (χ2 = 1.039, Table Value = 5.991): A low chi-square value indicates no significant association between the father's occupation and knowledge scores. Area of Residence (χ2 = 3.549, Table Value = 9.488): The chi-square value is less than the table value, revealing no significant association between the area of residence and knowledge scores. Conclusion The study underscores the need for targeted teaching strategies to address knowledge gaps in pediatric medication administration among nursing students. By improving educational methods, nursing programs can ensure better preparedness and safer practices in pediatric care.
