“…In a study by Kong et al (14), a positive response for all six evaluated domains was below 55%, with "Stress recognition" being the best rated and "Safety climate" the worst. In a study by Çiftcioğlu et al (21), the safety score was found to be moderate, and the students rated "Care environment" and "Employee behaviour" the best and "Training of employees" the worst. However, it should be noted that in both studies other instruments were used to assess the perception of nursing students and their perception was not, as with nurses from Slovak studies (19,20), marked by the COVID-19 pandemic.…”

Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic posed health and social threats and directly affected the quality and safe care. Many nursing students had mandatory practical training in hospitals to help the national system respond to the crisis. The investigation of nursing students’ perceptions of patient safety culture (PSC) might be beneficial in identifying safety areas that need improvement. Aim: The pilot study aimed to investigate nursing students’ perception of PSC during the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: The data were collected using the Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture - Nursing Students (HSOPS-NS). The HSOPS-NS tool was distributed online via the Google Forms platform between February and April 2021. The respondents studied in the 3rd year of the bachelor’s degree in nursing (n = 66). Three nursing faculties from 3 regions in Slovakia were addressed. Descriptive statistics (mean, SD, frequency) was used for the sample characteristics and the HSOPS-NS tool. The Mann-Whitney U test and the Kruskal Wallis test analysed associations between sociodemographic data. The predictors of outcome dimensions of the HSOPS-NS were analysed by a multiple regression analysis. Results: The nursing students evaluated the overall patient safety grade as very acceptable. Concerning PSC dimensions, the best-rated dimensions were “Feedback & communication about the error” (55.04%) and “Communication openness” (53.53%). The worst-rated dimensions were “Frequency of events reported” (33.32%) and “Staffing” (35.22%). A significant relationship was found between the perception of PSC and age, current area/unit, awareness of reporting systems, and supervision. The overall patient safety grade, the number of reported events, the number of reported events by nursing students were significantly predicted by several PSC dimensions (p ≤ 0.05). Conclusions: The nursing students’ perspective on PSC revealed a weak perception of reporting adverse events. The awareness of reporting adverse events requires an increase in theoretical knowledge and the support of nursing students during their clinical training. A regular and comprehensive evaluation of PSC may strengthen patient safety and the overall awareness of patient safety among nursing students.

“…Instruments measuring nursing students' perceptions of PSC were adapted versions of tools designed for nurses. Two of these instruments were modified for nursing education (Ortiz de Elguea et al, 2019;Walker et al, 2019), while the other two were used without modification (Çiftcioğlu et al, 2022;Kong et al, 2019). The instruments focusing on nursing students' competencies in PSC were developed based on a literature review (Ginsburg et al, 2012;Lee et al, 2014;Tella et al, 2015), and QSEN KSA competencies (knowledge, skills, attitudes) (Miller & LaFramboise, 2009;Piscotty et al, 2013;Sullivan et al, 2009), and two instruments were developed based on the Madigosky et al (2006) framework intended for medical students (Chenot & Daniel, 2010;Schnall et al, 2008).…”

Aim: To identify instruments measuring patient safety culture from the perspective of nursing students and to assess the content and reported psychometric properties of these instruments. Design: A narrative literature review. Methods: The search was carried out (according to institutional availability) in three scientific databases: ProQuest, PubMed, and Scopus. The search produced a total of 645 studies published up to May 2021. For data analysis, a summative content method was used. Results: We identified 12 instruments for measuring patient safety culture from the perspective of nursing students. Four instruments were designed to assess the perception of patient safety culture in the workplace, and eight instruments were designed for assessing nursing students' competencies in patient safety culture. Conclusion: The instruments share a core set of domains. However, details on conceptualisation, and methodological rigor differed substantially. Moreover, data on psychometric properties have not been published for most instruments. The absence of well-established instruments calls for further research.

“…It may be associated with the fact that the patient safety culture is not adequately addressed in the course content in the institutions where the study was conducted or the lack of learning opportunities in the current curriculum. Çiftcioğlu et al 27 have reported that the patient safety culture of nursing students is at a moderate level. It has also been stated that an effective educational curriculum is essential to create a patient safety culture and that a safety culture should definitely be emphasized in the nursing curriculum.…”

Objectives Patient safety competencies (PSC) of nursing students are, in particular, critical for quality and safe care. In the study, it was aimed to determine the PSC of nursing students and the factors affecting them. Methods This descriptive cross-sectional, relationship-seeking, and comparative study was conducted between February 1st and May 15th, 2022. The sample of the study consisted of 441 students studying at three universities. The data were collected online using the Sociodemographic Data Form and PSC Self-Evaluation Tool. Results In institutions where the study was conducted, students rated their level as above moderate in the PSC. Those aged 23 and over, and those who had received education on patient safety in patient care and drug administration were found to have a higher level of PSC. When the scores that all students obtained from the overall scale and its subscales were compared, it was determined that students of University C had statistically higher overall and subscale scores than those in the other two universities. Conclusion The assessment of PSC and the determination of the influencing variables may shed light on the regulations to be conducted in this regard. Patient safety courses should be included in the nursing curriculum as a compulsory course in two semesters at basic and advanced levels.
