Systematic Review on the Patient Safety Education for the Improvement of Patient Safety Competency of Nursing Students

Experiences of Patient Safety Education and Factors Affecting the Willingness to Participate in Patient Safety in Undergraduate Nursing Students in South Korea

“…A study of nursing college professors found that lecture-based instruction predominated at 38.9% and that PS topics were often covered in nursing management courses [ 26 ]. In addition, in a systematic literature review of PS education, 81.6% of nursing students reported that they received PS education in class and lecture-type education more often than in practice or simulation classes [ 14 ]. Another study reported that nursing students gained more confidence regarding PS in theory classes than in clinical practice [ 15 ].…”

“…In the curriculum of nursing colleges in Korea, several major courses deal with the topic of patient safety [ 14 ]. The concept of patient safety is partially covered through theoretical and practical education, while the scope of education time and content is limited [ 8 ].…”

“…There is no separate course labeled “patient safety” in the nursing curriculum [ 15 ], and it has been reported that nursing colleges vary in the content and methods of teaching patient safety and courses that include patient safety content [ 16 ]. In the four-year nursing college curriculum in Korea, 81.6% of colleges received patient safety education during class, and the contents of patient safety education conducted for nursing students included safety incident content and coping, communication, clinical safety, safety culture, teamwork and cooperation, and safety systems [ 14 ]. Patient safety education conducted for the general public of inpatients included patient safety activities, such as patient identification, fall prevention, infection prevention, pressure ulcer prevention, fire prevention, and accurate communication [ 17 ].…”

“…According to a previous study of nursing professors, patient safety was covered in various major subjects, such as fundamental nursing, adult nursing, and nursing management through lectures and practical exercises. It was reported that each university operates autonomously because appropriate standards for patient safety education are not specified [ 14 ]. As recent studies have investigated the educational needs of nursing students regarding patient safety [ 19 , 20 ], there is a need to develop practical educational programs for nursing students.…”

The effects of flipped learning and gamification on nursing students’ patient safety education: A mixed method study

“…Despite growing recognition of the importance of education for improving nursing students’ PS competencies, when exposed to PS issues, students often have insufficient opportunities to experience problem-solving processes through collaborating and communicating with healthcare professionals, owing to observation-oriented clinical practice limitations [ 9 ]. A previous study [ 2 ] revealed significant PSE-related differences among Korean nursing students—16.7 %–56.5 % in lectures and 9.6 %–53.0 % in practice, whereas a systematic literature review [ 10 ] revealed that lecture-type education was mainly used.…”
