title: Standardization of chemotherapy administration: a multidisciplinary process utilizing electronic learning vignettes.
abstract: This study describes oncology nurses' knowledge of new chemotherapy safety standards and satisfaction with education using simulated electronic learning vignettes. A quasi-experimental longitudinal, one-group pretest-posttest design was used to examine satisfaction and chemotherapy errors over time. Findings showed the mean number of error scores differed significantly across time points, indicating follow-up should occur to reinforce new standards. Nurse educators also may require more education about innovative educational strategies.
