The statistical population, who entered the study through a census, consisted of 52 nurses working in the emergency department of Imam Hossein Hospital. Data collection tools included a demographic questionnaire and Wakefield’s drug error questionnaire.    </p> <p><strong>Results:</strong> The mean and standard deviation of the difference in medication errors before and after the intervention was 0.31. ± 0.55 for non-injectables and 0.18 ± 0.61 for injectable drugs. A yearly increase in nurse working experience was associated with a decrease in medication errors of -1.73.</p> <p><strong>Conclusion:</strong> The present study results showed that simulation training using clinical scenarios for nurses is an efficacious step to prevent drug errors.</p>}, number={1}, journal={Pharmacy Education}, author={Khari, Sorour and Pazokian, Marzieh}, year={2022}, month={May}, pages={p. 492–497} }
