Özet
Background: This randomized controlled study exam-ined the effects of peer education on nursing students’ patient safety competence and attitudes toward medical errors. Method: Sixty-two third-year nursing students were randomly assigned to two groups. The control group received patient safety education through the standard curriculum, and the intervention group participated in a peer education model. Results: A weak negative correlation was found between fol-low-up scores on the Scale of Attitudes Toward Medical Errors (SATME) and the Patient Safety Competency Self-Evaluation Tool (PSCSE) (r = –0.279; p < .05). A moderate negative correlation emerged between SATME and PSCSE attitude sub-scale scores (r = –0.501; p < .01). Conclusion: Peer education improved sensitivity to medical errors but was less effective in ensuring knowledge retention. A discrepancy was identified between attitudes and practical application of patient safety knowledge, with students expressing low confidence in applying theoretical knowledge in practice.
