“…The tool originally consisted of 45 items when Lee () first developed it for nursing students. It is based on 26 items from the Patient Safety Attitudes, Skills and Knowledge Scales (PS‐ASK) by Schnall et al () and other items extracted from a literature review on patient safety; then, Lee, An, Song, Jang, and Park () evaluated the tool's psychometric properties for nursing students ( N = 394). Jang () evaluated the tool's validity and reliability, using data from hospital nurses ( N = 346).…”

Aim To identify the factors affecting nurses' patient safety competency under the new nursing care delivery model. Background In Korea, a new model was introduced in 2013 to ensure that nursing personnel provided inpatients with care without relying on guardians. After the launch of this service, there continue to be nurse‐related patient safety incidents. Methods This is a descriptive study. Data from 132 general hospital nurses were collected during 15–24 February 2017 and analysed using hierarchical multiple regression. Results Participants' mean patient safety competency score was 3.82 (range 1–5). Clinical career (Pratt index = 47.3%), critical thinking disposition (30.4%), teamwork (24.1%) and critical thinking training experience (7.3%) were found to affect nurses' patient safety competency. Conclusion Under the new model, new nurses showed a low level of patient safety competency. Clinical career most influenced patient safety competency. Enhanced critical thinking and teamwork training are needed to improve patient safety competency among nurses. Implications for nursing management Nursing leaders must consider qualitative staffing mix involving appropriate placement of experienced nurses as well as quantitative staffing level to provide patients with high‐quality, safe care and to implement the new model successfully. Regular training on critical thinking and teamwork should be carried out.

“…Lee et al’s PSCSE [ 21 ] is a self-report scale designed to measure nursing students’ PS competencies on a 5-point Likert scale. The PSCSE was developed through a literature review and rigorous translation process, and the details have been provided in a previous study [ 21 ]. Construct validity was verified by exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, and it has been proven to have high reliability [ 21 ].…”

BackgroundNursing educators must be qualified to teach patient safety to nursing students to ensure patient safety in the clinical field. The purpose of this study was to assess nursing educators’ competencies and educational needs for patient safety in hospitals and nursing schools.MethodA mixed-methods sequential explanatory design employed a survey and focus group interview with nursing educators (school clinical instructors and hospital nurse preceptors). Thirty-eight questionnaires filled out by clinical instructors from six four-year nursing universities and 106 questionnaires from nurse preceptors from three high-level general hospitals in the Seoul metropolitan area were analyzed to obtain quantitative data. Focus group interviews were conducted among six clinical instructors from one nursing school and four nurse preceptors from one high-level general hospital in Seoul.ResultsNursing educators had higher levels of attitude compared with relatively lower levels of skill and knowledge regarding patient safety. They reported educational needs of “medication” and “infection prevention” as being higher and “human factors” and “complexity of systems” as being lower. Nursing educators desired different types of education for patient safety.ConclusionIt is necessary to enhance nursing educators’ patient safety skills and knowledge by developing and providing an integrated program of patient safety, with various teaching methods to meet their educational needs. The findings of this study provide the basic information needed to reform patient safety education programs appropriately to fit nursing educators' needs and their patient safety competencies in both clinical practice and academia. Furthermore, the findings have revealed the importance of effective communication between clinical and academic settings in making patient safety education seamless.

“…Its reliability was verified with satisfactory evidence of a Cronbach's alpha coefficient of 0.907. Construct validity was also demonstrated by exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis (Lee et al, 2014). The PSCSE is comprised of 41 items divided into domains of attitude (14 items), skill (21 items), and knowledge (6 items).…”

This cross-sectional study examines baccalaureate nursing programs in South Korea to determine how and to what extent patient safety education was delivered, and to assess nursing students' patient safety competency. The Quality and Safety Education for Nurses (QSEN) student evaluation survey and a Patient Safety Competency Self-Evaluation tool were used. We distributed 234 surveys to senior students in four nursing schools; 206 (88%) students responded to the survey. The majority of students (81.6%) reported that they had received patient safety education during coursework. Patient safety education was delivered primarily by lecture rather than during laboratory or simulation sessions. The degree of coverage of QSEN competency and the students' self-reported competency in total and attitude scores showed statistical differences among nursing schools. Students' attitude score was significantly higher than skill and knowledge. Our results confirm the need to revise the nursing curriculum and to use various teaching methods to deliver patient safety education more comprehensively and effectively. Furthermore, there is a need to develop an integrated approach to ensuring students' balanced competency.
