The effects of fundamental nursing practice education using ‘room of errors’ simulation on nursing students’ perception, knowledge, and activities related to patient safety management
Abstract
Purpose: This study aims to develop a fundamental nursing practice education program using the room of errors simulation for second-year nursing students and to validate its effects on their perceptions, knowledge, and activities related to patient safety management.Methods: A non-equivalent control group pretest-posttest design was used. Participants were 68 nursing students (experimental group: 35, control group: 33) from two universities. The experimental group completed two 2-hour simulation sessions using the room of errors simulation. The study was conducted from December 9 to December 30, 2024.Results: After participating in the error simulation, the experimental group showed statistically significant improvements in knowledge (t=4.70, p
