“…The first year students in the current study expressed high rates of confidence in the classroom (mean = 4.7) second only to third years (classroom mean = 4.8) which was not found in the previous literature. [21,25] The current students expressed higher rates of confidence on all patient safety topics compared to the students in the previous studies. Consistently, the fourth year students express a lower confidence level than other years for multiple areas.…”

“…As well, higher proportions of students in the current study reported that the focus of errors is on systems issues rather than individual issues compared to the students in the Lukewich et al, 2015 study. [25] This could indicate that students are becoming more aware of the influence of systems on safe practice and perhaps recognizing the value of reporting from a safety perspective.…”

“…[27,28] It would be interesting to explore the reasons why fourth year students have expressed lower levels of confidence as one would have expected the fourth year students to have higher confidence levels simply due to their position in the educational process and their soon to be graduate status, although this phenomenon has also been noted by other researchers. [20,25] Nurses are responsible for the total care of their patients including advocating for them when the need arises. A higher degree of confidence is required to speak up on a patient's behalf.…”

High rates of patient safety events led to media attention and litigation that sparked the patient safety movement. Gaining awareness of nursing students' confidence levels on patient safety will reveal their perceptions of their competency. A quantitative descriptive cross-sectional method was employed. The Health Professional Education in Patient Safety Survey was used to determine how 458 baccalaureate nursing students from two nursing programs in Ontario, Canada rate their confidence levels on patient safety. Nursing students are the most confident on Clinical Safety topics and least confident on topics related to Human and Environmental Factors and Culture of Safety. Overall, they are more confident in the classroom than in the clinical settings with fourth year students expressing lower degrees of confidence on many of the areas. Education programs need to reinforce patient safety and educate students on their responsibilities to protect patients/clients. Programs need to target strategies to reduce student fears, promote error reporting, and system improvements.

Background: Enhancing competencies of patient safety and quality of care is an actual and important issue in Bachelor of Nursing education. In 2010, the Dutch ministry of health adopted ten themes of patient safety and developed six competences for patient safe nursing care. Nursing schools integrated these competences in their Bachelor of nursing programs. This study evaluates the progress of undergraduate nursing students on the six competences, before and after a course on the management of innovation and policy-making of safety management.

Problem statement: The Canadian Competencies for Baccalaureate Dental Hygiene Programs (CCBDHP) were first published in 2015 by the Canadian Dental Hygienists Association. They reflect the first articulation of dental hygiene baccalaureate competencies in North America. However, there is little evidence to support baccalaureate graduates acquire these abilities. Objective: To examine the confidence levels of baccalaureate fourth-year students in their ability to demonstrate the CCBDHPs.Methods: This 3-year longitudinal study rated the self-confidence levels of fourth-year students as they neared graduation from the University of British Columbia from 2017 to 2019. It involved an online, anonymous survey using a 5point scale ranging from not confident to confident. Respondents rated their selfconfidence in the 110 sub-competencies articulated within the 13 competency domains of the CCBDHP. Results: Responses were received from 54 of the 70 graduating students for a cumulative 77% response rate. Respondents expressed the most confidence in the competency domains of Clinical Therapy (100%), Collaboration (100%), Disease Prevention (100%), Professionalism (100%), and Oral Health Education (90%) but expressed less confidence in Research Use (73%), Health Promotion (70%), Leadership (67%), Policy Use (20%), and Advocacy (11%). Conclusion: These data suggest that curriculum revisions are needed in 5 domains but such changes may not be sufficient. Transition support may be warranted to assist graduates as they enter practice, while some competencies may be more appropriate for graduate studies. The study contributes to an international discussion about the educational preparedness of baccalaureate graduates, and the boundaries between diploma, baccalaureate and master's education.
