Who needs support? The literature from the UK and internationally shows a consistent lack of mathematical proficiency in nursing This affects registered nurses as well as students Nurses often see mathematical ability as ‘no more than common sense’. The Moser Report (DfEE 1999) suggests that as many as 40% of UK adults have some numeracy problems Competence should include knowledge (ability to calculate), skill (application to practice) and attitude (acknowledgement that numeracy is important)

Copyright © ijc2003 General recommendations from the literature Experiential learning in clinical practice should be supported by linking specific clinical activities with calculation learning and practice Assessment of ‘competence’ in calculation should look at mathematical knowledge acquisition and application to practice. Numeracy is an issue of accountability and should be regarded as such Need to acknowledge the impact of demographic issues such as age, gender, ethnicity etc

Copyright © ijc2003 Entry requirements for pre-registration education NMC Circular 18/2003 ‘ Higher Education Institutions are required to ensure that applicants for pre-registration nursing and midwifery education have provided evidence of literacy and numeracy. This may be integral to academic or vocational qualifications, or alternative evidence such as keyskills abilities’.

Copyright © ijc2003 Key problems with Numeracy in Nursing Computational errors – difficulty with addition, subtraction etc Difficulty problem-solving – the ability to ‘see’ how the problem should be addressed Nurses’ difficulties in using numerical data is not just limited to mathematical ability but also: Knowledge of medication – recognition Experience in the job Fatigue Workload Staffing Quality of prescription
