Summary

Patient safety education is important for preparing nursing and midwifery students to recognize risks, prevent avoidable harm, and provide safe care. This study evaluated whether adding structured online learning activities to face-to-face patient safety education improved students' perceived patient safety competence and general self-efficacy.

First-year nursing and midwifery students were assigned to either a blended learning group or a face-to-face education group. Both groups received the same patient safety content through four classroom sessions delivered over two weeks. The blended learning group also used online case scenarios, scientific articles, topic summaries, and other educational resources. Outcomes were assessed before the educational program, immediately after the program, and two weeks later.

This completed educational intervention study was registered retrospectively following a journal editorial request.
