“…Among the dimensions of PS competence, nursing students had the least confidence in their learning in teamwork with other health professionals both in the classroom and in clinical learning. These results are consistent with previous findings in the studies of Ginsburg et al , 20 Tella et al , 42 Alquwez et al , 15 Hwang et al , 17 Amilia and Nurmalia 32 Farokhzadian et al , 31 Alidousti-Shahraki et al 29 and Torkaman et al . 10 This evidence shows that weak interprofessional cooperation can be considered a dark point in the current field of healthcare.…”

“…In addition, the results showed that the students had more confidence in their learning conducted in clinical settings than in the classroom, which are consistent with the results obtained in studies by Ginsburg et al 20 and Halbach and Sullivan37 and show that the opportunities provided for learners to use the theoretical lessons learnt in the classroom in clinical settings can lead to their greater confidence in obtaining safety competencies. However, this finding is contradictory to findings in Indonesia,32 China12 and Iran29 31 as participants in these studies had more confidence in their learning in the classroom. It should be noted that academic education is organised to create theoretical preparations, while clinical education helps students to make appropriate decisions based on the knowledge they have learnt in the classroom 38.…”

“…This study revealed the overall perceived competence regarding PS among nursing students close to graduation to be of moderate range. This level of competence is consistent with studies conducted in Jordan,25 Korea,17 Saudi Arabia,15 Canada18 and Iran 10 29 31. However, the perceived overall competence in this study is lower compared with some studies conducted in Canada,22 Australia,13 Indonesia32 and Italy 33.…”

ObjectiveNursing students’ attainment of patient safety (PS) competency has always been a global concern among health and educational organisations. Therefore, this study was conducted to determine senior nursing students’ confidence of their PS competencies, and associated predictive factors.DesignCross-sectional study.SettingFour faculties from the nursing faculties of East Azerbaijan province.Participants253 senior nursing students in Iran.Primary and secondary outcome measuresUsing the modified version of the Health Professional Education Patient Safety Survey, data related to the level of confidence of nursing students in acquired competencies in seven sociocultural dimensions of PS in classroom learning and clinical settings were collected. In addition, the predictors of the patient’s safety competencies were identified by linear regression statistics.ResultsMean scores of all dimensions of PS competencies both in the classroom and in clinical settings were higher than 3.11 (out of 5). The nursing students were most confident in their learning of ‘understanding human and environmental factors’ in the classroom and the clinical setting. Nursing students displayed the least confidence in learning ‘work in teams with other health professionals’ in both the classroom and the clinical settings. Type of university, prior experience with PS competencies education, and coverage of PS competency issues in the curriculum predicted the students’ perceived competency scores in the classroom (R2=0.53, p<0.001). Also, perceived competence in the clinical settings was predicted by the variables of reporting errors to personnel and peers and the type of university (R2=0.65, p<0.001).ConclusionStudy findings emphasise the role of learning environments and educational experiences of nursing students especially the clinical environment, clinical instructors and the hidden curriculum in improving safety competence. Nursing educators can use this information to revise and develop the undergraduate nursing curriculum, paying close attention to lesson plans and content in relation to teaching safety issues.

“…Of the demographic data factors, the most significant was the year of study, with more studies showing that nursing students' perception of patient safety declined in higher years (e.g., Duhn et al, 2012, Lukewich et al, 2015. Of the factors related to clinical environment, adverse events were the most prevalent, with students who experienced adverse events rating the patient safety issues significantly higher (e.g., Farokhzadian et al, 2022Stevanin et al, 2015Steven et al, 2014). In the academic environment, a significant impact has been identified in the area of patient safety teaching (e.g., Kong et al, 2019;Lee and Dahinten, 2022;Torkaman et al, 2022).…”

Introduction: Patient safety is one of the main priorities of healthcare facilities worldwide. The perspective of nursing students on patient safety is essential for planning strategies to improve patient safety and its culture. Nursing students' perception of patient safety may differ between teaching and learning practices in nursing faculties, but also depends on the clinical experience gained during clinical placement.Objective: To collate existing empirical research studies on factors influencing the perception of patient safety from the perspective of nursing students. Methods: The search was performed in scientific databases PubMed, Scopus, and ProQuest in February 2023 and was limited to one language (English). The search produced 1,703 studies. The content analysis method was used in data synthesis. Results: 36 studies were considered relevant for the review. 23 factors that affect the knowledge, skills, and attitudes of nursing students towards patient safety were determined. Four main factor groups were described as follows: Factors related to demographic data; Factors related to clinical environment; Factors related to academic environment; Contextual factors. Conclusion: Nursing students' perception of patient safety was influenced by the educational and clinical environment. In relation to education, there is a need to integrate the patient safety subject at the beginning of nursing studies and to strengthen existing knowledge about adverse events.

Background Students’ exposure to clinical risk management during their studentships can improve their safety competency, comfort speaking up about patient safety, and attitudes toward patient safety education. This study aimed to determine the effect of clinical risk management training on nursing students’ patient safety competency, attitudes toward broader aspects of patient safety in professional education, and comfort in speaking up about patient safety. Methods This experimental study used stratified sampling to assign 56 nursing students to intervention and control groups (28 students in each group). The intervention group received clinical risk management training in three three-hour sessions. The Health Professional Education in Patient Safety Survey was used to collect data from both groups before and one month after the intervention. Results The study found no statistically significant difference in patient safety competency and its subscales between the intervention and control groups in the pretest stage, but these competencies increased significantly in the intervention group in the post-test stage compared to the control group. The mean scores of attitudes toward broader aspects of patient safety in professional education and comfort speaking up about patient safety did not differ significantly between the intervention and control groups in the pre-test stage, but they increased significantly in the intervention group in the post-test stage compared with the control group. Conclusion It is recommended that clinical risk management and patient safety training be applied to the nursing curriculum so that nursing students become competent to provide safe care in clinical settings.
