Objective to estimate the prevalence and avoidability of surgical adverse events in a teaching hospital and to classify the events according to the type of incident and degree of damage.Method cross-sectional retrospective study carried out in two phases. In phase I, nurses performed a retrospective review on a simple randomized sample of 192 records of adult patients using the Canadian Adverse Events Study form for case tracking. Phase II aimed at confirming the adverse event by an expert committee composed of physicians and nurses. Data were analyzed by univariate descriptive statistics.Results the prevalence of surgical adverse events was 21.8%. In 52.4% of the cases, detection occurred on outpatient return. Of the 60 cases analyzed, 90% (n = 54) were preventable and more than two thirds resulted in mild to moderate damage. Surgical technical failures contributed in approximately 40% of the cases. There was a prevalence of the infection category associated with health care (50%, n = 30). Adverse events were mostly related to surgical site infection (30%, n = 18), suture dehiscence (16.7%, n = 10) and hematoma/seroma (15%, n = 9).Conclusion the prevalence and avoidability of surgical adverse events are challenges faced by hospital management.
RESUMO Objetivo Investigar a associação entre as condições de trabalho da equipe de enfermagem intensivista e a ocorrência de eventos adversos nos pacientes atendidos. Método Pesquisa avaliativa e documental realizada em seis Unidades de Terapia Intensiva neopediátricas públicas de hospitais estaduais do Paraná, de abril de 2017 a janeiro de 2018. As variáveis preditoras, referentes ao dimensionamento de pessoal e ambiente de trabalho, foram mensuradas por meio dos instrumentos Nursing Activities Score e Brazilian Nursing Work Index-Revised. Os 30 eventos adversos corresponderam à variável de desfecho e foram detectados utilizando-se os instrumentos Pediatric e Neonatal Trigger Tool. Resultados Participaram da pesquisa 203 profissionais. Verificou-se que o dimensionamento do pessoal de enfermagem estava adequado. As condições de trabalho mostraram-se favoráveis e o valor do Alfa de Cronbach foi 0,90 (IC= 0,87 – 0,92). Os eventos mais frequentes detectados nos pacientes foram infecção e lesão de pele. A análise estatística de correlação e ocorrência de evento adverso demonstrou não haver significância. Conclusão Apesar de não ser evidenciada associação estatística entre as variáveis, os resultados demonstram comprometimento da gestão pública e dos profissionais com a segurança do paciente e qualidade da assistência.
Objetivo: Investigar si la percepción de la cultura de la seguridad de los pacientes quirúrgicos difiere entre los profesionales de enfermería y medicina que trabajan en una institución educativa pública brasileña. Método: Survey, estudio transversal realizado en un hospital en el sur de Brasil. El cuestionario Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture fue aplicado a 158 profesionales entre mayo y septiembre de 2017. Las 12 dimensiones se analizaron mediante estadísticas descriptivas e inferenciales y pruebas de coherencia interna. Las dimensiones con índices del 75% se consideraron reforzadas. Resultados: Hubo fragilidad en la cultura de seguridad, con un índice más bajo en la dimensión “Respuesta no punitiva al error”, con 23,9% y 13,9%, respectivamente, entre la enfermería y la medicina. Las puntuaciones más positivas fueron consideradas por la enfermería en ocho dimensiones, con diferencia (p<0.05) en relación con los profesionales médicos. Conclusión: La cultura de seguridad difiere entre las dos categorías profesionales, con respuestas más positivas por la enfermería; sin embargo, son necesarias acciones para fortalecer la seguridad de los pacientes quirúrgicos en ambos grupos profesionales. Objective: To investigate whether the perception of the surgical patient safety culture differs between nursing and medical professionals working in a Brazilian public educational institution. Method: Survey and cross-sectional study conducted in a hospital in southern Brazil. The Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture questionnaire was applied to 158 professionals between May and September 2017. The 12 dimensions were analyzed by descriptive, inferential statistics and internal consistency test. Dimensions with indexes ≥75% were considered strengthened. Results: There was fragility in the safety culture, with a lower index in the dimension “Nonpunitive response to error”, with 23.9% and 13.9%, respectively, between nursing and medicine. More positive scores were considered by nursing in eight dimensions, with difference (p<0.05) in relation to medical professionals. Conclusion: The safety culture differs between the two professional categories, with more positive responses by nursing; however, actions are necessary to strengthen the surgical patient safety in both professional groups Objetivo: Investigar se a percepção da cultura de segurança do paciente cirúrgico difere entre profissionais de enfermagem e medicina atuantes em instituição pública de ensino brasileira.

Escores mais positivos foram considerados pela enfermagem em oito dimensões, com diferença (p<0,05) em relação aos profissionais médicos. Conclusão: A cultura de segurança difere entre as duas categorias profissionais, com respostas mais positivas pela enfermagem; porém demanda ações promotoras para fortalecer a segurança do paciente cirúrgico em ambos os grupos profissionais.
Objective: to verify the association between the qualification of nursing professionals and the occurrence of adverse events in neonatal and pediatric intensive care units. Method: Cross-sectional and evaluation study conducted in six intensive care units of five public hospitals in the state of Paraná, Brazil. Data was collected from April/2017 to January/2018 through the use of a questionnaire to be completed by 143 nursing professionals and retrospective analysis of 79 medical records using the Neonatal Trigger Tool and Pediatric Trigger Tool instruments. The prognostic factors were professional training and the existence, or not, of a continuing education service; analysis was performed by logistic regression. Results: Detected 30 adverse events in 22 medical records analyzed. There was a prevalence of infection (n = 12; 40%) and skin damage (n = 9; 30%). Among the prognostic factors, continuing education was identified as a protective factor against adverse events (p≤0.05). Conclusion: Continuing education was associated with the prevention of adverse events in neonatal and pediatric intensive care units.

RESUMEN Objetivo: comparar los incidentes de seguridad del paciente notificados relacionados con el proceso/procedimiento clínico entre pacientes con diagnóstico confirmado por laboratorio de COVID-19 y con síndrome respiratorio agudo severo (SRAS) causado por otro agente infeccioso o indeterminado y otros pacientes. Desarrollo: Estudio retrospectivo, documental, aprobado por el comité de ética, en un hospital público de enseñanza del sur de Brasil. Se utilizaron 2.191 notificaciones y registros de COVID-19 entre los meses de marzo y septiembre de 2020. Datos sometidos a análisis descriptivo con frecuencias de las variables del conjunto, prueba de Fisher para verificar asociaciones entre resultados (clasificación / proceso / problema) y cálculo del riesgo relativo para verificar su intensidad. Las lesiones por presión fueron casi 3,7 veces más frecuentes en los pacientes con SRAS. Entre ellos, predominan los incidentes relacionados con sondeos diversos y con el proceso quirúrgico. Conclusión: se destacan como relevantes la asistencia de enfermería intensiva a los pacientes con SRAS, la gestión de riesgos y el fortalecimiento de buenas prácticas para la seguridad de todos los pacientes.
Objective: Compare reported patient safety incidents related to a clinical process/procedure among patients with laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 diagnosis and with Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) caused by another infectious or undetermined agent and the other patients. Results and discussion: retrospective, documentary study approved by the ethics committee in a public teaching hospital in southern Brazil. In the study, 2,191 notifications and records of COVID-19 between March and September 2020 were used. The data were submitted to descriptive analysis with frequencies of the variables in the data set, Fisher’s test to determine the associations between outcomes (classification/process/problem) and calculation of relative risk to measure its strength. The incidence of pressure ulcers was almost 3.7 times higher in patients with SARS. In the others, various tube-related incidents and events associated to the surgical process predominated. Conclusion: Intensive nursing care for patients with SARS, risk management and strengthening of good practices for the safety of all patients were relevant.
