Abstract
Background: The COVID-19 pandemic radically reshaped nurses’ education with a prominent shift to online learning. While there are emerging studies on quality and safety education post-pandemic, large-scale studies examining the pandemic’s impact on nurses’ quality and safety education are not available. Purpose: We examined quality and safety education in a national sample of nurses who were first licensed to practice in 2020, 2021, and 2022, adjusting for demographic, education, and work characteristics. Methods: We used correlational research design to analyze data from 821 nurses, which corresponded to a weighted population estimate of 170 824. Weighted logistic regression was used to model the nursing degree type on quality and safety education variables. Results: Approximately 90% of nurses reported receiving sufficient training in patient-centered care, teamwork and collaboration, and evidence-based practice. Approximately 75% received sufficient training in quality improvement. Conclusions: In a national survey conducted post COVID-19 pandemic, nurses reported a high level of preparedness in quality and safety education. One area that may require additional attention is quality improvement education.
