Abstract
Contents: Medication administration is an integral part of delivering quality nursing care. The nurse intern should follow the specific
guidelines to enhance their medication administration safety.
Aim: The study aims to assess the nurse intern's medication administration safety performance.
Methods: The study was conducted at Ain Shams University Hospitals using the descriptive design on 90 nurse interns by using three tools,
namely, medication administration knowledge questionnaire, the observational checklist for nurse interns' safety performance, and
Medication Administration safety Attitude Rating Scale.
Results: Findings of the study revealed that the minority of nurse interns (4.3%) had satisfactory total knowledge, 39% had adequate total
practice, and around two-thirds of them (62.6%) had a positive attitude.
Conclusion: It is concluding that the nurse interns had unsatisfactory knowledge of the medication administration safety, and their related
practices are mostly inadequate, although the attitude tends to be high. The study recommended that nurse internship programs emphasize
medication administration safety knowledge and practice, focusing on identified gaps and deficiencies. Further research is proposed to assess
the effect of training strategies on the nurse intern's medication administration safety.
