תקציר	The PSCS is a self-report instrument measuring healthcare students' and professionals' self-perceived competence in patient safety practices, safety awareness, and safety culture engagement. Developed by Lachman and informed by James Reason's theoretical framework of human error and systems thinking, the PSCS evaluates the degree to which individuals understand safety principles, recognize hazards, report incidents, collaborate on safety issues, and contribute to a culture of safety. The scale is used in healthcare education and quality improvement to assess baseline safety competence, evaluate safety training effectiveness, and identify gaps in safety culture understanding.	The NCCS is a multidimensional self-assessment and clinician-rated instrument measuring nursing students' perceived and observed clinical competence across technical, interpersonal, and cognitive domains. Developed by Walt and van der Walt in 2009, the scale evaluates students' mastery of fundamental nursing skills, critical thinking, communication, and professional judgment. It is used in nursing education to monitor competence development, identify learning gaps, and predict readiness for licensure examinations (e.g., NCLEX-RN).
