Hallmarks of nursing students exhibiting unsafe clinical practices: a qualitative study
The findings of this qualitative study expand our understanding of the hallmarks of nursing students with unsafe clinical practice. Undergraduate nursing students with unsafe clinical practice may not have acquired sufficient development and progress in terms of knowledge, skills, and personal-professional characteristics or may not be able to demonstrate them in their practices. Nursing schools must ensure that students have the necessary knowledge, skills, competencies, and personal-professional characteristics to participate in clinical training programs. It is recommended that students with unsafe clinical practices be identified early so that patient safety is maintained and that students are supported in order to correct their weaknesses and improve.
