Abstract: Objective: To systematically evaluate the nurses' experience with Automated Medication Dispensing System (AMDS), and to provide evidence for rational use of clinical drugs dispensing system. Methods: Qualitative studies on nurses' experience with the AMDS were retrieved from the establishment of the database to November 1, 2022. The quality of literature was evaluated by the Quality Evaluation Criteria of Evidence-Based Health Care Center (2016) of Joanna Briggs Institute in Australia, and the findings were summarized and integrated by the aggregation integration method. Results: A total of 11 studies were included, and 41 results were extracted, which were summarized into 9 categories on 3 integrated results: medication can be administered more quickly and safely with AMDS, more restrictions and challenges at work, and not enough training and learning in the use of AMDS. Conclusion: AMDS can improve nurses' management of medication, but the technology still needs to be improved, the training and management of nursing staff should be strengthened, and the communication between medical staff and system developers should be promoted to further play the advantages of AMDS.
