The purpose of this study was to investigate the attitudes and performing confidence, and factors influencing patient safety of dental hygiene students. The questionnaire contained items on the subjects' general characteristics, attitudes, and performing confidence in relation to patient safety. The self-reported questionnaire was administered to 287 dental hygiene students in Gwangju and Jeonnam, Korea from September to November 2017. We performed an independent t-test, one-way ANOVA analysis, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and multiple regression analysis using IBM SPSS ver. 21.0 software. As a result of differences in attitude, and performing confidence according to the general characteristics, attitude toward patient safety scored 3.48 out of 5 points, and was more positive in students from 4-year colleges, with high major satisfaction, and in students who answered that they needed patient safety education. Performing confidence for patient safety scored 3.57 out of 5 points, and was statistically significantly higher in 4-year college students, with higher major satisfaction, amongst those with experience in patient safety education, and when patient safety education was needed before clinical practice or employment. There were positive correlations between attitude and performing confidence for patient safety. As a result of analyzing the factors influencing attitude and performing confidence for patient safety, attitudes were higher with higher performing confidence and performing confidence had the highest satisfaction rate of the major and patient safety education experience. Therefore, it is necessary to provide systematic education at universities reflecting the characteristics of dental medical institutions, as well as developing various education contents and education methods.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify factors with nursing students's confidence in performing fundamental nursing skills. The focus was on professionalism and self-efficacy. Method: For the sample 258 fourth graders of nursing students were recruited in two universities located in Gyeongnam or Ulsan. Data were analyzed using t-test, Pearson's correlation coefficients, and hierarchical multiple regression. Results: The mean score for confidence in performing fundamental nursing skills was $3.71{\pm}0.58$. Nursing professionalism and self-efficacy were positively correlated with confidence in performing fundamental nursing skills. Analysis using multiple regression showed that 27% of factors predicting confidence in performance of fundamentals of nursing practice (F=16.43, p<.001) included nursing professionalism (${\beta}=.37$, p<.001), self-expression (${\beta}=.15$, p=.009), and self-efficacy (${\beta}=.14$, p=.029). Conclusion: Findings show that nursing professionalism is one of the major factors influencing confidence in performing fundamental nursing skills. In order to improve the confidence in performing fundamental nursing skills, it is necessary to establish effective educational strategies that firmly enhance nursing professionalism and improve self-efficacy in nursing students.

Purpose: This study was performed to investigate the level of knowledge, self-confidence, and intention of basic life support (BLS) and identify the reason why clinical nurses lack confidence to initiate BLS at the cardiac arrest scene. Method: A cross-sectional survey was used with questionnaires which authors developed; a BLS knowledge questionnaire and a tool for measuring the level of self-confidence and intention of performing BLS. The subjects consisted of 396 nurses by convenient sampling from ten small to medium sized hospitals in Korea. Data were collected from March to August, 2008. Data were analyzed by the SPSS/WIN 14.0 program with t-test, ANOVA, and Pearson correlation coefficients. Results: The percentile score of BLS knowledge was 40.6%, self-confidence 62.1%, and intention 73.0%. Clinical career rather than BLS knowledge has a significant effect on increasing the self-confidence and intention of performing BLS. A major reason for not performing BLS was lack of confidence in operating an AED (automatic external defibrillator). Conclusion: An effective and continuous training program especially including AED for CPR should be provided with clinical nurses to increase self-confidence and intention of performing BLS and to improve the survival of cardiac arrest patients in the hospital.
