Objective : It is essential for students in the health care professional discipline to get enough education on patient safety regarding its concept, knowledge, and skills, as they are soon to work with patients upon completing graduation. We sought to systematically review the existing literature on patient safety programs in undergraduate and pre-registration courses, and also to provide evidence for future direction in developing school based curricula for health care professionals in South Korea.
Methods : Various online databases were systematically reviewed from January 2001 to April 2016 which included 6 international DB sources (Ovid-Medline, Ovid-EMBASE, PubMed, Cochrane, ERIC, and Academic Search Premier) and 5 Korean DB sources (KoreaMed, KMbase, KISS, RISS, KisTi), with keywords of “patient safety” AND “educational, medical” or “educational, nursing” or “educational, dental” or “educational, pharmacy” AND “curriculum management”. For review, 25 papers were finally selected from the initial group of 12,561. Among the final 25 papers selected, 10 were from medical education, 7 were from the nursing area, 1 was from pharmacy education, and the remaining 7 papers were interdisciplinary.
Results : We categorized the patient safety programs into methods, contents, and evaluation. Methods varied including lectures, small group discussions, role plays, simulations, and problem based learning(PBL). Contents were also varied including knowledge, medical error theory, root cause analysis, case studies, collaboration, and communication, etc. Evaluation was usually conducted by pre-post surveys, in which the improvement in knowledge and attitude of students on patient safety issues through the education was revealed.
Conclusion : Our review suggests that we should identify the current status of patient safety courses and develop a national framework for undergraduate/pre-registration programs in South Korea, especially through an inter-professional team work approach.
