This pilot study evaluates the effectiveness of a stand-alone safety and quality improvement course and the integration of the Institute for Healthcare Improvement's safety modules into the RN to BSN program curriculum. A pre/postintervention design was used to measure the attitudes of a cohort of students. The results demonstrate gains in all dimensions measured, with statistically significant gains in four areas: safety general, team functioning, patient's role in error, and situational awareness. This study lends support to the value of a course focused on safety and quality and the use of the Institute for Healthcare Improvement modules in the curriculum
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
