Aims:
Having a culture of safety in an organization is necessary for providers to feel comfortable reporting and discussing medical errors so that solutions can be devised to decrease their occurrence. The purpose of this study was to describe self-reported patient safety competence among nursing, respiratory care, and nuclear medicine technology students.
Design:
A descriptive study was conducted in a public university. All junior- and senior-level students in nursing, respiratory care, and nuclear medicine technology were asked to complete the Health Professional Education in Patient Safety Survey (H-PEPSS) to assess their perceptions of safety education in the classroom and clinical settings.
Results:
Significant differences were found among the groups. Nursing and nuclear medicine students reported higher safety competence. Females reported a higher level of competency than males. There were no significant differences between junior- and senior-level student self-reported safety competencies. Findings will be used to make curricular changes to enhance safety education for healthcare professionals.
