Concerns about the quality and safety of health care have changed practice expectations and created a mandate for change in the preparation of health care professionals. The Quality and Safety Education for Nurses project team conducted a survey to assess current levels of integration of quality and safety content in pre-licensure nursing curricula. Views of 195 nursing program leaders are presented, including information about satisfaction with faculty expertise and student competency development related to 6 domains that define quality and safety content: patient-centered care, teamwork and collaboration, evidence-based practice, quality improvement, safety, and informatics. With competency definitions as the sole reference point, survey respondents indicated that quality and safety content was embedded in current curricula, and they were generally satisfied that students were developing the desired competencies. These data are contrasted with work reported elsewhere in this issue of Nursing Outlook and readers are invited to consider a variety of interpretations of the differences.
对医疗保健质量和安全的担忧改变了人们对医疗实践的期望，并催生了变革医疗保健专业人员培养方式的要求。护士质量与安全教育项目团队开展了一项调查，以评估护理专业执照前课程中质量与安全内容的当前整合水平。文中呈现了195位护理项目负责人的观点，包括他们对教师专业知识以及与界定质量与安全内容的6个领域相关的学生能力发展的满意度信息，这6个领域分别是：以患者为中心的护理、团队合作与协作、循证实践、质量改进、安全和信息学。以能力定义作为唯一参考点，调查受访者表示质量与安全内容已融入当前课程，并且他们总体上对学生正在培养所需能力感到满意。这些数据与本期《护理展望》其他地方报道的研究结果形成对比，欢迎读者思考这些差异的各种解读。
