The nursing education system has changed with the increased emphasis on patient safety in healthcare settings. Early education in patient safety is crucial to preparing nurses to be competent in patient care. Therefore, providing undergraduate patient safety education courses using an innovative approach is essential to enhancing patient safety and quality in nursing care.
This study aimed to examine the effects of a patient safety course using a flipped classroom approach on patient safety competency among undergraduate nursing students in South Korea.
A pre- and post-test quasi-experimental design with a non-equivalent control group was adopted.
This study was conducted in the college of nursing at a university in Seoul, South Korea.
A total of 75 undergraduate nursing students participated. All students enrolled in the patient safety course comprised the experimental group (n = 32); those with similar characteristics to the experimental group (age, gender, and year) but did not take the course comprised the control group (n = 43).
A total of 14 sessions (28 h) addressing the topics from the World Health Organization patient safety curriculum guide were delivered using a flipped classroom approach. The teaching methods included online learning and quizzes, case studies, small and large discussions, incident report tasks, and group projects including the development of strategies for patient safety. A survey including a demographic questionnaire and the Patient Safety Competency Self-Evaluation tool was administered at the beginning and end of the fall semester.
Pre- and post-test results demonstrated a significant increase in students' patient safety competency including attitude, skills, and knowledge. Mean scores of patient safety competency in the experimental group were significantly higher than in the control group.
The flipped-classroom patient safety course was shown to be effective in improving patient safety competency in terms of attitude, skills, and knowledge among undergraduate nursing students.
随着医疗环境中对患者安全的重视程度不断提高，护理教育系统发生了变化。早期的患者安全教育对于培养护士在患者护理方面的能力至关重要。因此，采用创新方法提供本科患者安全教育课程对于提高护理患者安全和质量至关重要。
本研究旨在检验翻转课堂方法在韩国本科护理学生患者安全能力方面的效果。
采用前后测试准实验设计，设有非等效对照组。
这项研究在首尔一所大学的护理学院进行。
共有 75 名本科护理学生参与。所有参加患者安全课程的学生都组成了实验组（n=32）；与实验组具有相似特征（年龄、性别和年级）但未参加该课程的学生组成了对照组（n=43）。
采用翻转课堂方法，共 14 次（28 小时），涉及世界卫生组织患者安全课程指南中的主题。教学方法包括在线学习和测验、案例研究、小和大讨论、事件报告任务以及包括制定患者安全策略的小组项目。在秋季学期开始和结束时，使用包括人口统计问卷和患者安全能力自我评估工具的调查进行评估。
前后测试结果表明，学生的患者安全能力（包括态度、技能和知识）显著提高。实验组患者安全能力的平均得分明显高于对照组。
翻转课堂患者安全教育课程在提高本科护理学生患者安全能力方面（包括态度、技能和知识）是有效的。
