Objective To explore the effect of patient safety education course on the undergraduate nursing students in terms of knowledge, attitude and skills about patient safety. Methods We enrolled five-year undergraduates admitted to Wannan Medical College in 2009. Eighty two nursing students who took part in the elective course of patient safety education course at the first semester of the seniors were selected as the observation group; while the other 359 nursing students who did not took part in the course were selected as the control group. The questionnaire method was performed to investigate the knowledge, attitude and skills about patient safety before and after the course. Results There were significant higher scores in the observation group than in the control group in the following domains:"Knowledge of medical errors" and "What should I do after medical errors occur?". Conclusion Setting up "patient safety education" course could significantly improve the knowledge, attitude and skills about patient safety for undergraduate nursing students.
