Abstract

Nursing professionals are key to providing safe care that improves patient outcomes. Hence, it is essential to focus on developing nurses' patient safety competencies and principles. This review examined the effectiveness of educational interventions in developing patient safety knowledge, skills, behaviors, and attitudes in undergraduate nursing students. The search strategy aimed to identify published and unpublished studies in databases and grey literature. Studies were assessed using the Joanna Briggs Institute critical appraisal tools. A total of 36 studies met the inclusion criteria. The teaching methods employed single or combined interventions and the educational interventions suggested either improvements in outcomes or no impact. The effectiveness of educational interventions to develop patient safety competencies in undergraduate nursing students, either as a single or combined strategy, was mixed. Further research is needed to provide more robust evidence on which teaching method for patient safety is most effective.
