There is no co-ordinated focus on liabilities arising from nurses' medical interventions in terms of occupational, administrative, civil legal and criminal activities. However, the Turkish Criminal Code, the Turkish Medical Ethics Code of Practice, and guidelines for patients' rights offer some framework for the relevant ethical principles and responsibilities of nurses. The aim of this study was to investigate the evaluation of nursing students' training in their legal liabilities. The sample consisted of 309 students who were taking a course entitled 'Nurses' legal liabilities under Turkish criminal and civil law arising from medical interventions'. Data were obtained by means of self-administered questionnaires and McNemar's test was used to evaluate the answers. In conclusion, after their training, a great majority of the students demonstrated an improvement in terms of their percentage of correct answers relating to malpractice. This does not, however, mean that they will not face malpractice charges after graduating, but their increased awareness of the issue may encourage them to make more effort to reduce the risk of mistakes. It is recommended that nursing faculty carry out studies into medical malpractice, that they focus more on this subject in nursing education, and that all nursing schools review their curricula from the point of view of malpractice.
目前，对于护士在职业、行政、民事法律和刑事活动中因医疗干预而产生的责任，并没有协调一致的重点关注。然而，《土耳其刑法典》、《土耳其医疗道德实践准则》以及患者权利准则为护士的相关伦理原则和责任提供了一些框架。本研究旨在调查护理学生对其法律责任培训的评估。样本由 309 名学生组成，他们正在参加一门名为“土耳其刑法和民法规定的护士在医疗干预方面的法律责任”的课程。数据通过自我管理问卷获得，并使用 McNemar 检验来评估答案。结论是，经过培训，绝大多数学生在与医疗事故相关的正确答案百分比方面有了显著提高。但这并不意味着他们毕业后不会面临医疗事故指控，而是他们对这个问题的认识提高可能会鼓励他们更加努力地降低犯错的风险。建议护理学院开展医疗事故研究，在护理教育中更加关注这个问题，并从医疗事故的角度审查所有护理学校的课程。
