Abstract
Objectives: Patient safety is an important component of patient care that emphasizing incident management and risk reduction strategies. The present exploratory study aimed to explore Saudi nursing students‟ knowledge and awareness regarding patient safety. Design: A self-administered voluntary questionnaire survey. Setting: This study was conducted at college of nursing, Imam Abdulrahman Bin Faisal University,Saudi Arabia. Participants: A total of 173 nursing students who were available at the data collection time (79 third year students and 94 fourth year students). Results: The majority of students have good or very good knowledge related to patient safety and supported that „medical errors are expected and that what is considered as „best care‟ may not always be provided. Also they supported the idea that „competent nurses do not make errors‟. With regard to the skills that the students would like to acquire, close to or more than 85% considered it important to learn how to analyze the cause of an error, as well as skills in releasing an error to a patient, and supported the idea that “nurses need to know what drugs they are deal with”. Conclusion: The findings from the present study provides higher positive awareness of nursing students about patient safety. Nursing students were aware of medical errors being an expected barrier between intended „best care‟ and what was actually provided to patients. However, effective educational interventions that target deficiencies in patient safety knowledge are greatly needed for all Nursing students.
