This descriptive study was conducted to investigate on nursing college students’ level of patient safety management during the pediatric 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 Gwang-ju metropolitan city. The data was collected from December 1st to 28th in 2019 at the end-point of their clinical training education in nursing college, and convenience sampling was the method of investigation for this research. For the assessment of knowledge about patient safety management (PSM-K), instrument modified by Choi & Lee (2015) from Park & Park (2014) was used. The instrument for attitude towards patient safety management (PSM-A) assessment was by Chenot & Daniel (2007), for confidence when in performance towards patient safety management (PSM-CP) by Park (2011), and in practice for protection towards patient safety management (PSM-P) by Yoo & Lee (2014). The collected data was analyzed with SPSS 19.0 using descriptive statistics, t-test, One-way ANOVA, and Scheffé test.
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. And also 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, in order to enhance 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. And nursing education facilities should develop educational contents about patient safety for nursing college students.
