Curricular fragmentation and the medication administration skill-A dataset

This dataset contains anonymized longitudinal educational evaluation data derived from an undergraduate nursing programme at a Colombian university. The repository includes competency assessment records associated with medication administration skills across intermediate and advanced clinical practicums.

The dataset was generated as part of a retrospective longitudinal educational evaluation study examining the relationship between curricular fragmentation and the decline of medication administration competency among undergraduate nursing students.

The repository integrates:

Longitudinal student competency evaluations
Clinical practicum performance records
Competency-domain mapping matrices
Curriculum alignment analyses
Multivariate statistical outputs
Supplementary methodological appendices
Figure source files and tables associated with the manuscript

The study specifically investigated how discontinuities in competency assessment across semesters contribute to skill deterioration and cohort polarization in medication administration performance.
