An interventional study of Patient Safety Competency-Building Program in Patient Safety and Patient Safety Education, sponsored by Woong-Han Kim. Active, not recruiting at 1 site in Ethiopia. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-10-01.
Sponsored by Woong-Han Kim · Not applicable, Interventional, and Health services research
This study aims to develop and evaluate a patient safety competency-building program for healthcare professionals involved in pediatric cardiac critical care in Ethiopia. The program consists of educational modules addressing key areas of patient safety and is delivered in person at a tertiary hospital in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Patient safety competence is assessed before and immediately after each training round, and acceptability, appropriateness, and feasibility are assessed immediately after each training round as implementation outcomes.
The patient safety competency-building program comprises nine educational modules delivered across three training rounds, with selected modules provided during each round. Healthcare professionals involved in pediatric cardiac critical care may participate in one or more training rounds, and participants may therefore differ across rounds. For each training round, patient safety competence is assessed before the training and immediately after its completion as a common educational outcome. Medication safety competence is assessed before and immediately after the first training round as a round-specific educational outcome. Acceptability, appropriateness, and feasibility are assessed immediately after each training round as implementation outcomes.
This is the only study on the registry with Woong-Han Kim as lead sponsor.

Exclusion Criteria:
Participants receive a patient safety competency-building program designed for healthcare professionals involved in pediatric cardiac critical care. The program comprises nine educational modules and is delivered in person across three training rounds, with selected patient safety modules provided during each round.
Behavioral: Patient Safety Competency-Building Program
The patient safety competency-building program consists of nine educational modules: Patient Safety Principles; Teamwork and Communication; Surgical Safety; Medication Safety; Blood Transfusion Safety; Infection Control; Patient Assessment and Clinical Decision-Making; Safety Equipment Management; and Patient Safety Incident Response and Reporting. Selected modules are delivered during each training round through in-person lectures, group discussions, and practical activities.
Patient Safety Competence
Patient safety competence is measured using the Health Professional Education in Patient Safety Survey (H-PEPSS), a 16-item self-report instrument covering six domains: working in teams with other health professionals, communicating effectively, managing safety risks, understanding human and environmental factors, recognizing and responding to adverse events, and culture of safety. Scores are calculated as the mean of the 16 items, with possible scores ranging from 1 to 5; higher scores indicate greater perceived patient safety competence.
Time frame: Before and immediately after each training round
Medication Safety Competence
Medication safety competence is measured using the Medication Safety Competence Scale (MSCS), a 36-item self-report instrument covering six domains: patient-centered medication management, improvement of safety problems, management of effecting factors, safety risk management, multidisciplinary collaboration, and responsibility in the nursing profession. Scores are calculated as the mean of the 36 items, with possible scores ranging from 1 to 5; higher scores indicate greater medication safety competence.
Time frame: Before and immediately after the first training round
Acceptability of the Intervention
Acceptability is measured using the Acceptability of Intervention Measure (AIM). The AIM consists of four items rated on a 5-point Likert scale. Scores are calculated as the mean of the four items, ranging from 1 to 5; higher scores indicate greater acceptability of the intervention.
Time frame: Immediately after each training round
Appropriateness of the Intervention
Appropriateness is measured using the Intervention Appropriateness Measure (IAM). The IAM consists of four items rated on a 5-point Likert scale. Scores are calculated as the mean of the four items, ranging from 1 to 5; higher scores indicate greater perceived appropriateness of the intervention.
Time frame: Immediately after each training round
Feasibility of the Intervention
Feasibility is measured using the Feasibility of Intervention Measure (FIM). The FIM consists of four items rated on a 5-point Likert scale. Scores are calculated as the mean of the four items, ranging from 1 to 5; higher scores indicate greater perceived feasibility of the intervention.
Time frame: Immediately after each training round
Program Satisfaction
Program satisfaction is assessed using a questionnaire developed by the research team. The questionnaire includes 5-point ratings of overall satisfaction, individual educational sessions, and five aspects of the educational experience, as well as a 10-point rating of achievement of the program objectives. Higher scores indicate more favorable evaluations. Open-ended questions are included to obtain additional participant feedback.
Time frame: Immediately after each training round
