Abstract
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate the safety of nursing students during fundamentals of nursing practicum in Korea. Methods: This study used a descriptive design. A total of 106 nursing instructors teaching fundamentals of nursing longer than one year participated in this study. Data were collected using self-report questionnaires from July 24 to August 28, 2018. The questionnaires consisted of general characteristics, characteristics of fundamentals of nursing course, physical and emotional safety issues during fundamentals of nursing practicum, and obtaining an informed consent prior to practicum. Results: The average number of physical safety accidents during practicum of fundamentals of nursing in the past 5 years was $1.12{\pm}2.44$. The most common safety accident was punctured wound. The mean score of the participants' stress on physical safety accidents was $3.53{\pm}1.12$ out of 5. The average number of emotional safety accidents of fundamentals of nursing practicum in the past 5 years was $1.05{\pm}2.72$. The mean score of stress on emotional safety accident was $3.00{\pm}1.09$ out of 5. We found that 47.2% of the participants obtained an oral consent or a written consent for safety of fundamentals of nursing practicum. Conclusions: The results of this study indicate that it is necessary to establish safety strategies for fundamentals of nursing practicum for nursing students.
