Patient safety is a critical issue in healthcare services and must be well understood by nursing students as future healthcare professionals. Insufficient preparedness in assuming responsibility, underreporting of incidents, miscommunication, and breaches of professional ethics indicate that attitudes toward patient safety have not been optimally established. This study aimed to examine attitudes toward patient safety across six core dimensions among students enrolled in the Profession Ners Education Program at the Faculty of Nursing, Universitas Syiah Kuala. A descriptive quantitative design with a cross-sectional approach was employed. The sample consisted of 118 students selected through a total sampling method. The instrument used is the Attitudes to Patient Safety Questionnaire (APSQ), and it was analyzed descriptively by presenting frequency distributions, percentages, and mean scores for each attitude domain. The results revealed that the majority of respondents (63.6%) demonstrated a positive attitude toward patient safety. The highest scores were observed in the dimension of incident reporting (72%), followed by awareness (70.3%), responsibility (63.6%), training (58.5%), teamwork (55.1%), and organization and communication (54.2%). These findings indicate that the domains of organizational support, communication, and training still require improvement. For students, it is essential to cultivate proactive and accountable attitudes to safeguard patient safety. For educational institutions, these results can serve as a foundation for strengthening learning strategies, including simulation-based training, enhancing patient safety curricula, and promoting a safety culture within both academic and clinical practice environments.
