Anotace: Aim: To investigate the perception of patient safety culture of nursing students on their clinical placement during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Design: A cross-sectional study.

Methods: Data were collected using the online form of the Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture for Nursing Students, between January and March 2021. The respondents were 248 nursing students from the Czech Republic.

Results: Although overall level of patient safety was high in nursing students, the recommended limit of over 75% was not achieved in any dimension. Factors that influenced assessment of individual dimensions included age, student status, form of study, current clinical placement, and clinical supervision. Overall level of patient safety was found to be a predictor of the values of individual dimensions.

Conclusion: The role of nursing students during the Covid-19 pandemic was invaluable. However, it is important to raise awareness about adverse events in nursing students in the Czech Republic.
