October 2024
Article Synopsis
- - The review investigates how educational methods can enhance nursing students' understanding and skills related to patient safety competencies critical for improving care outcomes.
- - From a total of 36 studies analyzed, various teaching methods showed either positive outcomes or no significant effect on developing patient safety knowledge among nursing students.
- - The findings indicate that while some educational interventions can be beneficial, the overall effectiveness is inconsistent; hence, more research is required to determine the best approaches for teaching patient safety in nursing education.
