About this trial

In PICU setting, drug administration, monitoring, and prescribing errors made up most cases (54%) of MEs . Emphasizes these issues requires a multifaceted approach, including staff training, creation of innovative cognitive frameworks, use of electronic prescribing systems, and the promotion of a safety-awareness within healthcare settings. Recently, mind mapping has been applied in the field of nursing education as an advanced conceptual tool. It uses a technique of combining drawings with words to build memory associations between a topic keyword and image, color, or other link allowing learners to effectively store and extract information

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Tool I: A Structured Assessment Questionnaire

It will be developed by the researcher which will consist of two parts: Part 1: Socio-demographic Characteristics and Professional Data of Studied Nurses part 2: Knowledge Assessment Tool on AI and Mind Mapping for Nurses (pre/posttest)

Time frame
2 weeks
2

Tool II: Nurses' Knowledge Regarding Safe Use of High-Alert Medications (HAMs)

It will be developed to collect data necessary for evaluating nurses' knowledge related to safe use of high-alert medications. The assessment will encompass key domains such as the definition and classification of HAMs, safety precautions during drug administration (including delivery routes and dosage accuracy), and drug regulation (including proper storage, documentation, and handling procedures).

Time frame
1 month

Tool III: Observational Checklist for Safe Handling of High Alert Medications

It will be developed by the researcherto objectively assess nurses' practices related to the safe handling of high-alert medications in PICUs according to the international recognized guidelines and evidence-based protocols.

Time frame
