TODO - Patient safety teaching; Nurse education; Nurse regulation
TODO - Patient safety, as a contemporary health care concern, must remain a
priority for nurse educators. This on-line consultation, carried out
within the RANCARE COST Action project, determined to establish how
patient safety teaching is incorporated into pre-registration education
of nurses across 27 countries. How nursing is regulated within countries
was examined, along with national guidelines related to nurse education.
HEIs were asked to provide details of pre-registration nurse training
and how patient safety is taught within programmes.
The results confirm that the topic of patient safety is generally not
explicitly taught, rather it remains a hidden element within the
curriculum, taught across many subjects. Variation in how nursing is
regulated exists across the countries also, with the professionalization
of nursing remaining a challenge in some states. No guidelines exist at
EU level which address how patient safety should be taught to nursing
students, and as yet regulatory bodies have not put forward criteria on
the subject. As a result individual HEIs determine how patient safety
should be taught.
The WHO guidelines for teaching patient safety are currently
underutilized in nurse education, but could offer a structure and
standard which would address the deficits identified in this work.
