Abstract
Background: The development of rational drug use (RDU) pedagogy is critical to advance RDU health workforce development. Nurse educators play an important role in the teaching and learning process of nursing education. Capacity building of nurse educators is therefore crucial for success.
Objectives: To investigate the effectiveness of capacity building of nurse educators in RDU instruction for the Bachelor of Nursing Science program.
Methods: A descriptive research design with a cross-sectional analysis was conducted on a population of 90 nurse educators from public and private educational institutions who participated in the RDU teaching education program. A self-administered questionnaire developed based on Tyler’s framework and a questionnaire on RDU competency of nurse educators were used to collect data. The data were analyzed using percentage, mean, and standard deviation.
Results: After participating in the RDU instruction program, the nurse educators’ knowledge of RDU instruction was high. They applied the knowledge and experience from the training program in classroom and clinical instruction. Their attitude towards RDU was rated at the highest level. Their RDU competency was also rated as high.
Conclusions: The RDU instruction program for the Bachelor of Nursing Science program could enhance the teaching skills of nurse educators.
