Abstract

Background: Patient safety means proper communication with the client and proper identification, safety of pharmaceutical products, prevention of infection risk, risk of falls, etc., nurses and medical staff are not exposed to errors, violations and accidents. Aim: To assess the knowledge and attitudes of nursing school midwifery, physical therapist, and occupational therapist students regarding patient safety. Materials and Methods: We conducted the study with 91 thirdand fourth-year students studying midwifery, occupational therapist, and occupational therapist at the School of Nursing using a quantitative survey method with a single-moment design to assess the knowledge and attitudes of internationally tested client safety (PSCSE* Nam Ju Lee et al. 2017) used a standard questionnaire. Results: When the knowledge score increases by 0.37 times, the attitude score also increases. Knowledge and attitudes are gradually increasing in a linear relationship. The patient's safety awareness questionnaire has a direct correlation with the attitude questionnaire at r= 0.37 (p=0.001). Conclusion: It is considered necessary to pay attention to the fact that the knowledge of customer safety evaluated by students' self-evaluation increases with the progress of education, but the attitude does not increase with the progress of the course.
