Özet
<p>Background: Patient safety (PS) is a cornerstone of nursing care; however, educational approaches to PS vary globally. Con-ceptualizing cross-cultural diferences in PS competence is essential for preparing nurses in diverse health care systems.Aim/objective: To assess and compare PS knowledge, skills, and attitudes among nursing students in Oman, Saudi Arabia, Jordan,and T¨urkiye, and to examine the efect of demographic variables on these competencies.Design: A multicenter, cross-sectional study.Methods: Data were collected over 16 weeks (Dec 2024–Mar 2025) from 447 undergraduate nursing students using a stratifedrandom sampling method across public and private institutions in the four selected countries. Te validated Patient SafetyCompetency Self-Evaluation (PSCSE) instrument measured knowledge, skills, and attitudes. Analyses included ANOVA, t-tests,correlation, and regression.Results: PS knowledge scores were uniform across countries (η2 � 0.009), showing no signifcant diference (p > 0.05). In contrast,skills and attitudes signifcantly varied by country. For skills, the ANOVA was signifcant (p � 0.013, η2 � 0.012), with Saudiparticipants reporting the highest mean score. Te country diference in attitudes was highly signifcant (p � 0.001, η2 � 0.041),with Jordanian students reporting the highest PS attitudes score. Furthermore, sex was a predictor across all domains in the pooledsample, showing a consistent medium efect size in the knowledge and attitude domains (d ≈ 0.41). Furthermore, the result showedthat university type (public or private) and age were also associated with diferences in competencies.Conclusions: Although knowledge of PS seems to be consistent among the participated countries, there are diferences in skillsand attitudes, which shows the impact of diferences in the education and clinical settings. To improve the safety skills of nursingstudents among these countries, we need educational reforms that are tailored to each situation.Keywords: attitudes; cross-cultural; health; knowledge; nursing education; patient safety; skills; studentWileyNursing ForumVolume 2026, Article ID 7904724, 14 pageshttps://doi.org/10.1155/nuf/7904724</p>
