Hemşirelik Öğrencilerinin Hasta Güvenliğine İlişkin Görüşleri

Öz

Hemşirelik öğrencilerinin hasta güvenliği konusundaki bilgi ve becerilerinin geliştirilmesi, güvenli bakımın sağlanması açısından çok önemlidir. Bu tanımlayıcı çalışma, hemşirelik öğrencilerinin hasta güvenliğine ilişkin görüşlerini ve bu görüşleri etkileyen faktörleri belirlemek amacıyla Ekim 2021–Mart 2022 tarihleri arasında yürütülmüştür. Araştırmanın evrenini Türkiye’de öğrenim gören 3. ve 4. sınıf hemşirelik öğrencileri oluşturmuştur. Veriler, çevrim içi anket aracılığıyla kolayda ve kartopu örnekleme yöntemleri kullanılarak 422 katılımcıdan toplanmıştır. Bulgulara göre öğrencilerin %23,5’i klinik uygulamaları sırasında tıbbi hata ya da olumsuz bir olayla karşılaştığını belirtmiştir. Öğrencilerin %89,8’i tıbbi hataların/istenmeyen olayların bildirilmesi gerektiğini düşünürken, yalnızca %12,1’i bu tür olaylarda bildirim formunun doldurulduğunu belirtmiştir. Ayrıca öğrencilerin %40’ı sağlık çalışanlarının tıbbi hata/istenmeyen olay durumunda cezalandırılması veya uyarılması gerektiğini belirtmiştir. Cinsiyet ile sağlık çalışanlarının cezalandırılması veya uyarılması gerektiği görüşü arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark bulunmuştur (p = 0,036). Bu görüş, akademik yıla göre de farklılık göstermiştir (p = 0,011). Çalışma bulguları, eğitim ve klinik öğrenme ortamlarında hasta güvenliğine yönelik olumlu tutumlar geliştirmenin ve cezalandırıcı olmayan bir kültür oluşturmanın önemini vurgulamaktadır.

Nursing Students' Opinions on Patient Safety

Öz

Improving nursing students’ knowledge and skills regarding patient safety is crucial to providing safe care. This descriptive research was conducted between October 2021 and March 2022 to determine nursing students’ opinions on patient safety and the factors influencing these opinions. The study population consisted of third- and fourth-year nursing students in Türkiye. Data were collected from 422 participants through an online questionnaire using convenience and snowball sampling methods. According to the findings, 23.5% of the students reported encountering medical errors/adverse events during clinical practice. While 89.8% of the students believed that medical errors/adverse events should be reported, only 12.1% reported that an incident report was filed in such cases. In addition, 40% of the students believed that healthcare professionals should be punished or warned for medical errors/adverse events. A statistically significant difference was found between gender and the view that healthcare professionals should be punished or warned (p = 0.036). This view also varied according to academic year (p = 0.011). The study findings emphasize the importance of fostering positive patient safety attitudes and creating a non- punitive culture in educational and clinical learning environments.
