dc.description.abstractObjective: In the recent years, medical errors and patient safety have held a great emphasis especially since the report of the Institute of Medicine was published in 1999. Medical students witness and sometimes are involved in unsafe Situations, errors, adverse events etc. The first years of medical education is a chance to teach students medical errors and patient safety. The aim of this cross-sectional descriptive study was to asses the knowledge of medical students on medical errors and the effect of education on knowledge. Material and Methods: This study was conducted in Meram Medical Faculty of Selcuk University. We prepared a questionnaire including the definition of, attitudes towards and reporting of medical errors according to the literature on this subject. This questionnaire was given to first and second year students by the authors during a lesson in November 2007. Results: Study population consisted of 119 male and 123 female students. In the error definition questions although the first year students received 11.24 +/- 4.64 points, second year students had 9.34 +/- 5.38 points. Females had 11.30 +/- 4.67 points and males had 9.14 +/- 5.36 points. The most unrecognized medical error was on prophylaxis (54.4% in the first year, 60.5% in the second year). Misdiagnosis was the most recognized error in both groups. Conclusion: We suggest that patient safety culture can be established properly, easily and correctly if students are equipped with the required knowledge on medical errors starting from the first years of medical education. This may then improve the quality of medical staffs and institutes.en_US
