Human factors and patient safety in undergraduate healthcare education: A systematic review

Challenges of integrating patient safety into nursing curricula: An integrative literature review

“…Collaborative efforts not only support the formal curriculum but also have the potential to positively influence the informal and hidden curricula. 15 The characteristics of clinical mentors can either facilitate or hinder students’ inclination toward practicing PS. Challenges in this area include the lack of available clinical mentors and mentors who do not prioritize PS practices.…”

“…Researchers have called for improved connectivity between hospitals and academia. 15,40,41 Nurse educators have identified the difficulty of collaboration between academicians and practitioners as a barrier to incorporating PS into their curricula. 42 This issue has two facets: health organizations and clinical staff feeling powerless or disconnected in influencing nursing curricula 28 and academic staff feeling limited due to a lack of affiliation with hospitals.…”

“…We could identify three (3) such literature reviews done on PS education. Sheehan et al 15 identified both barriers and opportunities related to HF implementation through a systematic review on HF and PS in undergraduate education in health care . Barriers identified were, the lack of shared safety language, lack of faculty expertise in PS as well as the lack of an appropriate HF-based competency framework to guide curriculum development.…”

Root cause analysis for understanding patient safety incidents in nursing student placements: A qualitative content analysis

“…Having said that, there are effective educational interventions in the literature to improve nursing student's knowledge, skills and attitudes towards patient safety (Breitkreuz et al, 2016;Cantero-López et al, 2021;Kim et al, 2019), as well as qualitative studies on the moral courage of students when confronted with errors and J o u r n a l P r e -p r o o f adverts events alongside their mentors (Brown et al, 2020). The Multi-professional Patient Safety Curriculum Guide (WHO, 2011) includes recommendations on how to plan programs, design courses or teach patient safety concepts and recommends moving forward with the implementation of HFE in undergraduate healthcare education to improve patient safety education (Sheehan et al, 2022). While it is true that some studies used techniques such as RCA with nursing students to patient safety training (Cantero-López et al, 2021;Dolansky et al, 2013) or to foster critical thinking by analysing real-life scenarios (Carter et al, 2014), little is known about the nursing students' experiences with the use of RCA during clinical placements from a qualitative perspective, which could facilitate the development of more specific strategies and interventions closer to the student body that improve the preparation of future nurses on patient safety.…”

The Patient Safety Curriculum: An Interventional Study on the Effectiveness of Patient Safety Education for Jordanian Nursing Students

“…In 1999, the Institute of Medicine (IOM) released a starting report on the number of deaths caused by medical errors annually in the United States (1). According to the report titled “ To Err Is Human: Building a Safer Health System” , by the IOM, It was approximately that medical errors caused around 98,000 fatalities on a yearly basis (1, 2, 3). The report warns policy makers, hospitals, health care staff and patients about the main problems related to patient safety.…”
