Digital Microlearning for Patient-Safety Readiness in Nursing Students
Sponsor: Agri Ibrahim Cecen University
Summary
This randomized controlled trial evaluated the effect of a patient safety-focused digital microlearning program on nursing students before and during surgical clinical practice. Nursing students may face patient-safety and clinical decision-making challenges when moving from classroom learning to clinical settings. This study examined whether short, structured, scenario-based digital learning modules could improve patient-safety awareness, clinical error recognition, decision-making under stress, clinical practice readiness, and self-confidence. Second-year undergraduate nursing students were randomly assigned to either a digital microlearning plus standard education group or a standard education control group. Outcomes were measured at baseline before the program, immediately after the intervention, at the end of the first week of surgical clinical practice, and at the end of the seventh week of surgical clinical practice. Weekly ecological momentary assessment prompts were also used during clinical practice to examine safety-related behavioral transfer.

Interventions
Digital Microlearning Program on Patient Safety
A structured digital microlearning program consisting of short, scenario-based online modules lasting approximately 3-5 minutes each. The program was delivered over seven consecutive days and focused on surgical patient-safety readiness, including patient identification, medication safety, patient-safety risk recognition, clinical error recognition, prioritization, escalation, and clinical decision-making under stress.
