Abstract

Objectives The purpose of this study is to describe and understand the nature of this experience by identifying the meaning and structure of patient safety accidents experienced by nursing students during clinical practice.
 Methods Participants in the study were 3rd and 4th graders with clinical practice experience among nursing students at 1 university in D City, and those who agreed to participate in this study among students who experienced patient safety accidents in clinical practice. The main question used in the interview was, “What was the patient safety accident you experienced during clinical practice as a nursing student.It was conducted as a phenomenological study to understand and describe the nature of experience in depth, and data analysis followed the procedure proposed by Colaizzi.
 Results A total of 162 key statements were extracted from the original data. As a result of constructing the meaning as a statement that can best reflect the content among the main statements, 86 meanings could be constructed. From these meanings, the general meaning could be derived and composed of 18 topics representing the participants' experience in patient safety accidents during clinical practice. The study participants' experience in patient safety accidents during clinical practice could be identified into three categories: “a comprehensive inspection is required,” “a lack of competency,” and “a desperate need for prevention,” nine subject vowels and 18 topics.
 Conclusions Patient safety accidents are related to the organization's patient safety culture, and this experience indicates that nursing students need to strengthen their capabilities in stages, establish an organization's reporting and learning system, and conduct overall patient safety inspections.
