The purpose of the study was to assess the effectiveness of the World Health Organization's (WHO) patient safety curriculum (PSC) in improving the patient safety education for nursing students in Jordanian higher education programmes.
An interventional design adopting a pre-test and post-test was used. A questionnaire survey was administered to 373 nursing students before and after the curriculum. Students were asked to complete pre-test and post-test questionnaires on self-awareness of patient safety.
Students had moderate knowledge of factors that influence patient safety and scored as the highest, (mean 3.45, SD 0.94). The greatest improvement was in the role of the health organisation in error reporting (the mean difference was 0.97, P = 0.001). Taking into consideration the essential measurements, the results obtained after the post-test regarding the two patient safety topics showed a significant increase after completing the training, demonstrating that the patient safety course was effective.
The study highlights the importance of developing a curriculum in nursing schools that incorporates patient safety education. The WHO PSC guide can be a great start in this domain.
本研究旨在评估世界卫生组织（WHO）的患者安全课程（PSC）在提高约旦高等教育护理专业学生的患者安全教育方面的有效性。
采用干预设计，采用前测和后测。在课程前后，对 373 名护理学生进行问卷调查。学生被要求完成关于患者安全自我意识的前测和后测问卷。
学生对影响患者安全的因素有中等程度的了解，得分最高（平均 3.45，标准差 0.94）。最大的改进是在卫生组织在错误报告中的作用（平均差异为 0.97，P = 0.001）。考虑到基本测量，在完成培训后，在后测中关于两个患者安全主题的结果显示出显著增加，表明患者安全课程是有效的。
本研究强调了在护理学校中开发患者安全教育课程的重要性。WHO PSC 指南可以在这一领域提供很好的起点。
