Key Points

This study aims to evaluate perceived patient safety education outcomes among healthcare students in operating room internships.
Descriptive cross-sectional study conducted from February 15 to June 15, 2025, in Türkiye.
Sample consisted of 120 healthcare students who completed an operating room internship and a Patient Safety course.
Data collected using the Health Professional Education in Patient Safety Survey (H-PEPSS) and a Descriptive Information Form.
H-PEPSS scores in the classroom were significantly higher than in the clinical setting (Z = -8.950, p < 0.001).
Positive correlation noted between internship duration and scores for recognizing and responding to adverse events (r = 0.186, p = 0.042).
Only 25% of witnessed patient safety incidents were formally reported by students.
