This randomized controlled trial aims to examine the effect of Web 2.0-supported education on first-year nursing students' medication dose calculation knowledge, skills, perceived learning, and instructional material motivation. Safe medication administration is a core quality indicator of nursing care, and dose calculation errors remain a significant threat to patient safety. Nursing students frequently experience difficulties in understanding basic concepts, converting units, and performing accurate calculations. In this study, students enrolled in the Fundamentals of Nursing course at a university in Istanbul, Türkiye, were randomly assigned to either an intervention group or a control group. The intervention group received medication dose calculation education supported by interactive Web 2.0 tools (Canva, Quizizz, Miro, Wordwall, and Socrative), while the control group received the same curriculum content through traditional lecture-based instruction. Both groups also received hands-on medication preparation skills training in the professional skills laboratory. The primary outcomes are medication dose calculation knowledge and skill levels; secondary outcomes are perceived learning and instructional material motivation. The investigators hypothesize that students receiving Web 2.0-supported education will achieve higher scores on all outcomes compared with students receiving traditional education.
