Abstract

PURPOSE
The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of a competency based safety and quality improving education program for undergraduate nursing students.
METHODS
A quasi-experimental study of a non-equivalent control group pre and post test design was used. The participants were sixty-eight undergraduate nursing students recruited from the two universities in G and M cities. They were assigned to either a treatment group (n=35) or a comparison group (n=33). A five-day educational program developed based on the ADDIE Instructional Design Model was offered to the treatment group whereas the comparison group did not receive any instruction. Data were collected using self-report structured questionnaires. The data were analyzed using the SPSS/WIN 21.0 with the χ² test, and independent t-test.
RESULTS
The students in the treatment group reported significant positive changes for patient safety knowledge, skill and perception of quality and safety competencies.
CONCLUSION
Findings from this study supports that competency based quality improving and safety education program is a useful intervention strategy to promote student's knowledge, skill and perception of quality and safety competencies.
