Measuring impact: the effectiveness of structured educational interventions on nursing personnel knowledge and its implications for clinical performance and patient outcomes . International Journal of Scientific Reports. 2025 Jul; 11(7): 244-2482454-21562454-2164https://imsear.searo.who.int/handle/123456789/254552Background: Intravenous (IV) medication administration is essential in hospital care but is often error-prone, posing significant patient safety risks. Structured educational interventions have emerged as a key strategy to improve clinical knowledge and reduce errors. Objective of the study was to assess the effectiveness of a structured, hands-on educational intervention in enhancing the knowledge of nursing personnel regarding IV medication administration. Methods: A pre-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design was conducted among 60 nursing professionals. The intervention included three didactic sessions and four skill-based stations on arterial lines, IV infusions, blood transfusions, and dosage/drop rate calculations. Knowledge was assessed using a validated structured questionnaire, and data were analyzed using statistical package for the social sciences (SPSS) v23. Results: Pre-intervention, only 10% of participants demonstrated "good" knowledge, while 86.7% achieved this level post-intervention. Mean scores improved from 1.80±0.60 to 2.83±0.45. No significant associations were found between demographic variables and knowledge scores, indicating uniform effectiveness across the group. Conclusions: The structured educational intervention significantly improved knowledge levels across all demographics, supporting its utility in nursing curricula to enhance patient safety and clinical competency.Intravenous medication administrationSafe infusionNursing educationStructured educational interventionMedication safetySmart infusion devicesJournal ArticleIndiaCollege of Nursing, AIIMS, Bilaspur, Himachal Pradesh, IndiaCollege of Nursing, AIIMS, Bilaspur, Himachal Pradesh, IndiaCollege of Nursing, AIIMS, Bilaspur, Himachal Pradesh, IndiaCollege of Nursing, Parul University, Gujarat, India
