  • Title: Facilitating a culture of safety and patient-centered care through use of a clinical assessment tool in undergraduate nursing education.
    Author: Girdley D, Johnsen C, Kwekkeboom K.
    Journal: J Nurs Educ; 2009 Dec; 48(12):702-5. PubMed ID: 20000253.
    Abstract:
    Although delivery of safe, patient-centered care has long been a priority among nursing educators, nursing students may not be able to adequately translate concepts learned within the classroom into nursing practice. Nurse educators must develop teaching strategies to provide nursing students with the knowledge, skills, and attitudes necessary to provide quality patient care. Within the Quality and Safety Education for Nurses project, a set of key nursing competencies was established. This article describes the development and use of a clinical assessment tool in undergraduate clinical nursing courses to enhance mastery of two of these key nursing competencies: safety and patient-centered care.
