Blended Learning for Patient Safety Education in Nursing and Midwifery Students
Sponsor: Mardin Artuklu University
Summary
Patient safety education is important for preparing nursing and midwifery students to recognize risks, prevent avoidable harm, and provide safe care. This study evaluated whether adding structured online learning activities to face-to-face patient safety education improved students' perceived patient safety competence and general self-efficacy. First-year nursing and midwifery students were assigned to either a blended learning group or a face-to-face education group. Both groups received the same patient safety content through four classroom sessions delivered over two weeks. The blended learning group also used online case scenarios, scientific articles, topic summaries, and other educational resources. Outcomes were assessed before the educational program, immediately after the program, and two weeks later. This completed educational intervention study was registered retrospectively following a journal editorial request.

Blended Patient Safety Education
A two-week educational intervention comprising four 90-minute face-to-face classroom sessions combined with asynchronous online learning activities. The online component included two patient safety case scenarios, selected scientific articles, researcher-prepared topic summaries, and supplementary educational resources. The program addressed patient identification, medication safety, communication errors, infection prevention, fall prevention, adverse event reporting, and safety culture.
Face-to-Face Patient Safety Education
A two-week educational intervention comprising four 90-minute face-to-face classroom sessions. The program covered patient identification, medication safety, communication errors, infection prevention, fall prevention, adverse event reporting, and safety culture. Participants did not have access to the online learning platform during the study.
