Abstract
Objectives: To assess effect of medication training program on nurses' confidence and knowledge of medication administration in Saudi Arabia.
Methodology: This study employed a quasi-experimental design involving 80 nurses who worked at a Children’s Hospital in Taif, Saudi Arabia. They were selected using convenience sampling. We used a self-administered validated questionnaire. Data on nurses’ demographics, knowledge, and confidence in medication administration were obtained before and after implementing the training program. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 28.
Results: Majority of nurses (48.8%) were between 20 and 30 years of age, 68.8% were non-Saudi, and 97.5 were female. They worked primarily in Critical Care Units (52.5%). The training program significantly improved nurses' knowledge (4.01±0.47 to 4.55±0.44) and confidence (9.58±1.56 to 13.24±1.49) about medication administration.
Conclusion: The nurses’ knowledge and confidence in administering medications significantly improved after the implementation of a medication administration training program. It is essential for healthcare facilities to initiate educational interventions for nurses regarding medication administration and ways to prevent associated errors.

Key words: Confidence, knowledge, medication administration, medication errors, nursing education.
