Abstract
Background: Intramuscular injection in neonates is a critical nursing skill that requires adequate knowledge, confidence, and precise technique.
Objectives: This study aimed to examine the effects of a learning package on nursing students’ confidence, intramuscular injection skills in neonates, and learning satisfaction.
Methods: A quasi-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design was employed. The sample consisted of 205 third-year nursing students. The research instruments consisted of a personal data questionnaire, an intramuscular injection confidence rating scale, a learning package satisfaction questionnaire, a skill assessment checklist, and the neonatal intramuscular injection learning package. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, a dependent t-test to compare confidence levels before and after the intervention, and Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient to examine the relationship between confidence and skills.
Results: The results showed that the mean confidence score after using the learning package (M=20.13, SD=3.03) was significantly higher than that before (M=12.29, SD=2.94), with a statistical significance of p<.001. Post-intervention confidence was positively correlated with intramuscular injection skill scores (rs=.636, p<.001).
Conclusions: The learning package significantly enhanced students’ confidence and improved their neonatal intramuscular injection skills, supporting its integration into nursing education to develop essential clinical competencies.
