Improving nursing students’ attitudes towards patient safety is a current and relevant topic.
This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of an educational intervention based on critical incident
and root cause analysis (RCA) techniques regarding attitudes towards patient safety in nursing
students. A quasi-experimental before and after study was developed between January 2018 and
December 2019 in a sample of 100 nursing students at Universitat Jaume I (Spain). The intervention
was developed in two phases. Phase I was at university, where students applied the RCA technique
in a real case. Phase II took place during clinical practice. Students used critical incidents to identify a
risk situation for the patients and applied RCA to detect its root causes. The measurement of attitudes
was performed with the Attitudes to Patient Safety Questionnaire (APSQ-III). The global score of the
questionnaire in the baseline measurement was 3.911 (±0.335), in the intermediate measurement it
was 4.031 (±0.337) and in the final measurement it was 4.052 (±0.335), with significant differences
(p = 0.03). However, intra-group differences were observed in the final measurement (p = 0.021).
The teamwork dimension had the highest mean score on all three measures and the notification
dimension had the lowest mean scores. An educational intervention combining critical incident and
RCA techniques can improves nursing students’ attitudes toward patient safety [-]
