<![CDATA[Patient safety is a critical global health challenge, given that over 10% of adverse events are actually preventable. Hospital Administration students, as future healthcare managers, require comprehensive knowledge regarding Patient Safety Goals. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of an educational intervention on Patient Safety Goals—comprising lectures, videos demonstrating the implementation of each goal, and discussions—in improving the knowledge of Hospital Administration students. A quantitative approach with a pre-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design was employed, involving 41 fourth-semester students from the Hospital Administration Study Program at ITEKES Tri Tunas Nasional in April 2026. The education was delivered in a single 3.5-hour session. A 12-item questionnaire, validated via product-moment correlation and tested for reliability, served as the instrument. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test at a 95% significance level. The majority of respondents were 20-year-old females residing in Makassar City. The mean knowledge score increased by 2.49 points, rising from 7.51 to 10. The proportion of students with a "good" level of knowledge increased from 26.8% to 80.5%, and the "poor" category was no longer observed post-intervention. The Wilcoxon test yielded a p-value < 0.001, indicating a significant difference between pre- and post-education knowledge levels. Education on Patient Safety Goals proved effective in enhancing the knowledge of Hospital Administration students. The researchers recommend integrating Patient Safety Goal material into the curriculum from the beginning of the study program and utilizing clinical simulations to master more complex procedural aspects.]]>
