Abstract :
The vital foundation of clinical practice in the
work of a healthcare professionals is ensuring
competency in patient safety. The topic of patient safety
has frequently been the focus of concern across field of
health sciences and is a significant issue in health care
(Usher et al., 2017). With the use of H-PEPSS (Health
Professional Education in Patient Safety Survey), the
study used a descriptive-comparative design that enables
the researchers to objectively determine primarily the
level of self-reported patient safety competence of the
Batch 2022 Physical Therapy Interns that underwent
clinical experience through telerehabilitation internship.
The study presented with a significant difference to what
the 80 PT interns learned in the domains of Working in
Teams with Other Health Professionals and Recognize,
Respond to and Disclose Adverse Events and Close Calls
between the classroom and clinical setting, and no
significant differences observed between settings on the
rest of the domains. In conclusion, the Batch 2022 PT
interns generated a level of patient safety competency
with highest confidence in the domain of Communicating
Effectively and the least confidence for Recognize,
Respond to and Disclose Adverse Events and Close Call
domain, with the clinical setting higher than the
classroom setting.
