The Correlation between Mathematics Anxiety Numerical Ability and Drug Calculation Ability of Paramedic Students: An Explanatory Mixed Method Study

摘要

Numeracy is the ability to reason and to apply simple numerical concepts. Numerical and drug calculation skills are essential for patient safety. Health-care providers who perform drug calculation in their work required good math skills, especially numerical ability. The aims of this study were to explore the relationship between numerical ability, math anxiety and drug calculation performance and to explore the factors that contribute to drug calculation ability among paramedic students.
