摘要

Background

Given the nature of the health profession, medical errors are considered a common problem. Nursing students are inevitably likely to make medical errors due to the lack of adequate and safe learning environments during their clinical practice.

Aim

We aimed to investigate the relationship between the tendency to make medical errors and the level of mindfulness of senior nursing students.

Methods

Data were collected using the Malpractice Trend Scale (MTS) and the Mindful Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS). This study was reported following STROBE.

Results

The students’ MAAS total score mean was 62.96 ± 1.64. The MTS total score mean was 79.91 ± 1.25. According to Pearson correlation analysis, there was a weak, positive (r = 0.194) and statistically insignificant (p > 0.05) relationship between the total scores of MTS and MAAS.

Conclusions

It was concluded that as the students’ mindfulness levels increase, their tendency to make medical error decreases, but this result is not statistically significant.
