Abstract

Background

Patient safety (PS) is a critical component in dental education, yet it is not clear how dental schools include PS education in their curricula.

Aim

To assess how PS topics are presented in the current Umm Al-Qura undergraduate dental (UQUDENT) curriculum and to investigate the self-perceptions of dental students regarding the PS confidence they have attained from their dental program.

Method

The UQUDENT curriculum was mapped using keywords developed from the WHO PS manual. Courses contained intended learning outcomes (ILOs), and lecture topics were identified and ranked based on the level of PS content. In addition, dental students and interns were asked to fill in a modified version of the Health Professional Education in Patient Safety Survey.

Results

A total of 73.2% of the courses included ILOs or topics related to PS. Keywords related to the teamwork topic were the most common (60.9%), followed by patient engagement (24.3%), medication safety (12.2%), and infection control (9.8%). None of the courses included items on overall PS concepts, understanding systems, or quality improvement in relation to PS.
Dental students were most confident in their learning regarding clinical safety and effective communication. They were least confident in what they learned about teamwork with other health professionals. There were no statistically significant differences in PS domain scores between classroom and clinical learning.

Conclusion

The UQUDENT curriculum covers many aspects of PS. However, the PS content should be explicitly taught and assessed. Areas such as interprofessional education, clinical risk management, learning from errors, and teamwork should be augmented.
Umm Al-Qura牙科学校患者安全教育:课程内容和学生信心的综合分析
患者安全(PS)是牙科教育的一个重要组成部分,但目前尚不清楚牙科学校如何将PS教育纳入他们的课程。目的评估当前乌姆库拉本科牙科(UQUDENT)课程中如何呈现PS主题,并调查牙科学生对他们从牙科课程中获得的PS信心的自我认知。方法采用WHO PS手册中检索的关键词对uquent课程进行制图。课程包含预期学习成果(ILOs),讲座主题根据PS内容的水平进行确定和排名。此外,牙科专业的学生和实习生被要求填写一份修改版的《病人安全调查中的卫生专业教育》。结果73.2%的课程包含ilo或与PS相关的主题,其中与团队主题相关的关键词最多(60.9%),其次是患者参与(24.3%)、用药安全(12.2%)和感染控制(9.8%)。没有一门课程包括PS的整体概念、理解系统或与PS相关的质量改进。牙科学生对他们在临床安全和有效沟通方面的学习最有信心。他们对与其他卫生专业人员的团队合作最不自信。课堂学习与临床学习的PS域得分差异无统计学意义。UQUDENT的课程涵盖了PS的许多方面,但是PS的内容应该被明确地教授和评估。应加强跨专业教育、临床风险管理、从错误中吸取教训和团队合作等领域。
