Abstract

This descriptive study was conducted to investigate nursing college students’ level of patient safety management during the pediatric-adolescent nursing clinical practice courses. This study aimed to provide a baseline data for developing systematic nursing educational curriculum for the enhancement of competence in nursing college students’ fundamental patient safety nursing intervention. The participants consisted of 372 senior nursing college students who have had clinical practice at a nursing college in G metropolitan city. The data was collected from December 1 to 28th, 2019 at the end point of their clinical training education in nursing college, and convenience sampling method was used. The results of this study indicated that the ratio of correct answers of PSM-K was 7.30 out of 10, PSM-A was 3.76, PSM-CP was 3.92, and PSM-P was 4.21 out of 5 points. In terms of the correlations between PSM-K, PSM-A, PSM-CP, and PSM-P, significant positive correlations existed between PSM-K and PSM-A(r=.28, p<.001), PSM-CP and PSM-K(r=.19, p<.001), PSM-CP and PSM-A(r=.48, p<.001), PSM-P and PSM-A(r=.37, p<.001), and PSM-CP and PSM-P(r=.36, p<.001). Therefore, to enhance the nursing college students’ competence in patient safety nursing intervention, nursing college students must experience various exercises and training for patient safety management during the clinical practicum as well as with scenario-based simulation. The nursing education facilities should develop educational contents about patient safety for nursing college students.
