Abstract: | This study shows the diversity of the mistakes made by the nursing students. The evolution of the mistake status in the framework of the training evaluation remains limited. Even though the mistakes are sometimes comparable between the I.F.S.I (nursing schools) and the care services, they are not dealt with in the same way. In the service, the professionals avoid the incidents, thanks to their very strong vigilance. Mistake is not used as a learning tool, people rather tend to eliminate and punish it. In the I.F.S.I there is a lack of thorough research related to the understanding and the usefulness of mistake. Mistake anticipation must rely on the student's experiences and on the information he has at his disposal; it comes within the framework of risk anticipation so that the student avoids being involved in a procedure dangerous for the patient. Mistake training can bear its fruit in a training period only if there is a transfer; therefore, it is integrated in the process of corrective anticipation. This study opens new ways for research because mistake anticipation leads to the development of a risk policy based on everybody mobilization. |
