Abstract

This is a descriptive research study that attempted to identify patient safety competencies and interprofessional attitudes among nursing students and provide basic data for improving the quality of patient safety education and developing various clinical practice education programs. Data were collected through self-report questionnaires from August 29, 2023 to October 23, 2023, targeting 142 3rd and 4th year nursing students in K City. The PSCSE tool was used for patient safety competency, and the IPAS-K tool was used for interprofessional attitudes. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, paired t-test, Pearson's correlation coefficients, and multiple regression analysis using the SPSS 25.0 program.The subjects' patient safety competency scored an average of 4.04±0.53 out of 5, and interprofessional attitudes scored an average of 4.32±0.61 out of 5. There was a significant difference in interprofessional attitudes according to patient safety education experience(t=3.509, p=.001). Interprofessional Attitudes showed a positive correlation with patient safety competency(r= .716, p<.001). Factors affecting interprofessional attitudes were attitude of patient safety(β=.424 p<.001), skill of patient safety(β=.377 p<.001) and explained 56% of interprofessional attitudes. Based on the research results, it is believed that it can be used as basic data for patient safety education programs and interprofessional collaboration programs that can improve nursing students' patient safety capabilities and interprofessional attitudes.
