Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the effects of simulation education in patient safety nursing on nursing students’ attitudes toward patient safety, confidence in patient safety, academic self-efficacy, and academic engagement. Methods: The study was conducted from April to May 2022 with 69 nursing students enrolled in a fundamental nursing practice course. Two simulation scenarios were developed to enhance the patient safety competencies. Each scenario was implemented in two sessions, each lasting 90 minutes. Data were collected using self-report questionnaires, which measured attitudes toward patient safety, confidence in patient safety, academic self-efficacy, and academic engagement before and after the simulation education. Data were analyzed by employing descriptive statistics and paired t-tests using SPSS Statistics Version 26.0. Results: After participating in the simulation program, students showed statistically significant improvements in their attitudes toward patient safety (t=9.11, p<.001), confidence in patient safety (t=15.66, p<.001), academic self-efficacy (t=6.03, p<.001), and academic engagement (t=9.28, p<.001). Conclusion: The findings suggest that simulation education in patient safety nursing is an effective nursing education strategy. The study highlights the need to develop and expand diverse simulation-based learning programs in nursing education.
