Abstract
The purpose of this study is to find the level of drug dose calculations and confidence of nursing students who completed fundamental nursing. After receiving informed consent, questionnaires and drug dose calculation paper of 152 subjects were collected. The data were analyzed using SPSS 19.0. The $mean{\pm}SD$ of drug dose calculations was $7.46{\pm}1.97$ on a scale of 10, the mean score of male students was higher than female's(t=3.64, p=.001), and the mean score of science was higher than vocational's according to high school departments(F=5.11, p=.007). In the score of confidence, the $mean{\pm}SD$ was $4.12{\pm}1.12$ on a scale of 6, the mean score of male students was higher than female's(t=8.94, p=.001), and the science was higher than humanity or vocational(F=6.28, p=.002). There was a positive correlation between drug dose calculation and confidence scores(r= .32, p=.001), and explanation rate of confidence on drug dose calculation was 10.2%(p=0.001) in regression analysis. This suggests that nursing students need to improve drug dose calculation ability by strengthening confidence.
