Background: Patient harm is a global crisis fueling negative outcomes for patients around the world. Working together in an international learning collaborative fostered learning with, from and about each other to develop evidence-based strategies for developing quality and safety competencies in nursing.
Aims: To report student outcomes from an international learning collaborative focused on patient safety using the Quality and Safety Education for Nurses competency framework.
Methods: A global consortium of nursing faculty created an international learning collaborative and designed educational strategies for an online pre-workshop and a 10-day in-person experience for 21 undergraduate and graduate nursing students from six countries. A retrospective pre-test post-test survey measured participants' confidence levels of patient safety competence using the health professional education in patient safety survey and content analysis of daily reflective writings.
Results: Statistical analysis revealed student confidence levels improved across all eight areas of safe practice comparing-pre and post-education (significance, alpha of < 0.05). Two overarching themes, reactions to shared learning experiences and shared areas of learning and development, reflected Quality and Safety Education for Nurses competencies and a new cultural understanding.
Conclusions: The international learning collaborative demonstrated that cross-border learning opportunities can foster global development of quality and safety outcome goals.
