| Background: A virtual learning environment allows intern nurses’ engaged in education which enables the acquiring theoretical and practical skills regarding medication safety without limitations of time and place. The study aimed at designing and implementing virtual classes about medication safety among intern nurses. Design: A quasi-experimental design was utilized. Setting: The study was conducted in the intern-nurses' clinical training areas at Benha University Hospital. Subjects: Consisted of 60 intern nurses from 2020-2021 representatives. Tools: Four tools were used, (1) Virtual classes knowledge questionnaire, (2) Attitude toward virtual classes questionnaire, (3) Observational checklist for safety measures regarding medication administration and (4) Virtual classes. The study results showed that the most of intern nurses had poor knowledge related to virtual classes and medication safety dimensions at pre- intervention phase, which it improved to be the most of them had good knowledge at post intervention phase with slightly decreased to be at follow-up phases. The majority of intern nurses had a negative attitude toward virtual classes at preintervention phase, which improved to be majority of them had positive attitude respectively at post and follow-up phases. The majority of intern nurses had low practice level at pre- intervention phase, while it improved to be the majority of them had high practice level at post phase, with slightly decreased to be three quarters of them had high practice level regarding medication administration safety at follow-up intervention-phases. Conclusion: Applying virtual classes about medication safety had a highly statistically significant improvement of intern nurses’ knowledge, attitude toward virtual classes and practice of medication safety. The study recommended evaluating faculty virtual classes’ implementation process and assessing the obstacles of the implementation of virtual classes and put different strategies for solving it. | ||||
