Keywords:
performance of clinical practice, patient safety, nursing studentsAbstract
The purpose of this descriptive research was to study factors related to the performance of clinical practice for patient safety among nursing students. The sample consisted of 113 third- and fourth-year nursing students recruited by simple random sampling. The research instruments were a personal data record form, the perception of self-efficacy in nursing practice for patient safety evaluation, and the attitude towards patient safety and performance of clinical practice for patient safety evaluation. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, independent t-tests, two-way ANOVA, and multiple regression.
The results revealed that level of education, perception of self-efficacy in nursing practice for patient safety, and attitude towards patient safety could significantly explain 20.6% of the variation in clinical practice for patient safety (p <.05). Significant predictors of performance of clinical practice for patient safety were perception of self-efficacy in nursing practice for patient safety (b =.318, p<.01), level of education (b = -.216, p<.01), and attitude towards patient safety (b = .188, p<.05). Difference in learning achievement was significantly related to performance of clinical practice for patient safety (p < .01). The mean scores of performance of clinical practice for patient safety for third-year students was significantly higher than for fourth-year students (p < .05). These results suggest that the improvement of nursing students’ performance of clinical practice for patient safety should place emphasis on strengthening nursing students’ self-efficacy and attitude towards patient safety.
