Objective To investigate and analyze the knowledge, skills and attitudes of clinical medical students and nursing students to patient safety before internship so as to provide evidence for implementation of patient safety curriculum in medical and nursing students. Methods Five-year clinical medical undergraduates and nursing students before internship in the Wannan Medical College were recruited. The questionnaire method was performed to investigate the knowledge, attitudes and skills of patient safety. The data were input using EpiData 3.0 software and were analyzed by SPSS 13.0. Results A total of 771 questionnaires were distributed, of which 320 clinical medical students and 435 nursing students completed the survey. The results showed that, the totals of both kinds of students were low concerning the knowledge, attitudes and skills of patient safety; scores were significantly higher in nursing students than in clinical medical students concerning the items of "Knowledge about medical errors" (P=0.012), "Feelings about making errors" (P=0.000), "Feelings about making errors" (P=0.001), and "Personal attitudes to patient safety" (P=0.001). Scores of "Feelings about making errors" were significantly higher in female students than in male students. Conclusion Both nursing students and clinical medical students lack the knowledge of patient safety before internship, and the latter lack more. More attention should be paid to the knowledge of patient safety for both clinical medical and nursing students.
