Objective To develop a WeChat mini program for pain medication dosage setting and test its usability.Methods From January to February 2020,a team was assembled to develop the program based on clinical needs.In March and April,a convenience sampling method was used to conduct a pilot experiment.Twenty doctors and twenty nurses from a tertiary hospital were selected to use the mini-program and a traditional calculator for converting dosages of different opioid drugs(doctors)and setting drug parameters for patient-controlled analgesia pumps(nurses)400 times each.The time and accuracy of the conversions were compared,and the mini-program was evaluated using the Usability Scale for User Experience(USE).Results The accuracy of dosage calculations using the mini-program by doctors and nurses was 100％,which was higher than that achieved using traditional methods(p＜0.01).The time required for calculations was faster than with traditional methods(p＜0.01).The average USE scores for doctors and nurses were 6.56±0.20 and 6.60±0.19,respectively.Conclusion The developed mini-program provided a reference for doctors to convert pain medication dosages and met the accurate calculation and setting needs of nurses for analgesia pump parameters.The program was well-received by medical staffs and demonstrated good usability.
