“…Besides, proper tests can be conducive to assessing nurses’ PSC, as diagnostic tools for identifying strengths and weaknesses, to guide competency improvements and for benchmarking. However, a pervading challenge in developing instruments specifically to assess nurses’ PSC is the lack of clarity about applicable patient safety structures (Levett‐Jones et al., 2020). To address this issue, Levett‐Jones designed and validated the Patient Safety Competency Framework (PSCF) by a modified Delphi technique (Levett‐Jones et al., 2017).…”

Aim To analyse the patient safety competency (PSC) of Chinese nurses with associate degrees (ADNs) and explore factors. Design A cross‐sectional study. Methods A convenience sample of 451 ADNs working in 18 hospitals located in Chongqing city of China was investigated using the Patient Safety Competency Nurse Evaluation Scale (PSCNES). Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyse the data. Results ADNs had a moderate level of PSC. In terms of the six dimensions of PSC, ADNs performed well in clinical practice and safety risk management, while they performed poorly in patient‐centred care and patient safety culture. Statistically significant differences were reported in two items. Firstly, ADNs who have participated in patient safety training had a higher level in all dimensions of PSC than those who have not participated in related training. Secondly, ADNs without professional titles had a higher level of patient safety culture than those with professional titles.

“…Há evidências de fragmentação ou ausência de questões gerais sobre seu conceito e princípios. Ainda assim, alguns tópicos são abordados em disciplinas ou temas específicos da assistência, como na segurança para preparo e administração de fármacos, sem transversalidade, interdisciplinaridade e avaliação, sendo este último ainda questionado (Levett-Jones, et al, 2020;Rocha, Giordani, Fujita & Reinaldi, 2020).…”

“…Acredita-se que transformações no ensino em segurança do paciente trarão melhorias à prática clínica. No entanto, estudos demonstram que a segurança do paciente ainda é pouco evidenciado nos programas curriculares de enfermagem e geralmente abordado de forma generalista (Bohomol, 2019;Garzin & Melleiro, 2019;Levett-Jones, et al, 2020), incongruências que certamente seriam evidenciadas na exploração do currículo oculto.…”

The aim of the study was to analyze the contents and approaches on cardiovascular patient safety in the education of nurses. It is a documentary study that used the method of Pimentel (2001), to analyze the guiding documents of education - pedagogical project, curricular matrix, menus and plans of disciplines - of a Nursing course at a public university in the interior of the Brazilian Northeast. The study was approved by the Research Ethics Committee of the State University of Ceará under protocol No. 923,537. The results of the analysis revealed a fragmented curriculum, with content and specific and indirect approaches on teaching patient safety in the cardiovascular context. The concept of patient safety was not identified in the analyzed documents, reinforcing the indirect approach to the theme. It is concluded that there is a need for greater curricular integration and reformulation of documents, in order to promote a clear and transversal approach to patient safety in nursing education.

“…However, around the world nursing degree curricula do not assign the necessary importance to competencies related to patient safety [7][8][9][10] and it is necessary to advance the design and evaluation of more effective educational interventions to improve knowledge, skills and attitudes regarding patient safety [7,11], both in university classrooms and clinical settings [12,13].…”

Improving nursing students’ attitudes towards patient safety is a current and relevant topic. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of an educational intervention based on critical incident and root cause analysis (RCA) techniques regarding attitudes towards patient safety in nursing students. A quasi-experimental before and after study was developed between January 2018 and December 2019 in a sample of 100 nursing students at Universitat Jaume I (Spain). The intervention was developed in two phases. Phase I was at university, where students applied the RCA technique in a real case. Phase II took place during clinical practice. Students used critical incidents to identify a risk situation for the patients and applied RCA to detect its root causes. The measurement of attitudes was performed with the Attitudes to Patient Safety Questionnaire (APSQ-III). The global score of the questionnaire in the baseline measurement was 3.911 (±0.335), in the intermediate measurement it was 4.031 (±0.337) and in the final measurement it was 4.052 (±0.335), with significant differences (p = 0.03). However, intra-group differences were observed in the final measurement (p = 0.021). The teamwork dimension had the highest mean score on all three measures and the notification dimension had the lowest mean scores. An educational intervention combining critical incident and RCA techniques can improves nursing students’ attitudes toward patient safety.
