Description
Fillipi André dos Santos Silva and co-authors test, in a 2025 study, whether hands-on teaching helps Brazilian nursing students write better drug prescriptions. Nurses may legally prescribe in Brazil, yet the skill gets little attention in training, especially for primary care. Fifty-four students at a public university took part in a single-group study with tests before and after. The teaching method had students draft real prescriptions, which were then graded for quality.
Prescription quality improved clearly after the training, and the gain held up over time rather than fading. Students' motivation for the topic also rose, though unevenly across its parts. The authors conclude that active practice, not lectures alone, builds prescribing skill. They suggest nursing programs adopt the method to prepare graduates for the prescribing duties the law already allows them.
