[20][21] In a study carried out with the nursing team in a hospital public of Porto Alegre, in which educational actions took place as a conversation wheel on the theme of Goal 1, was raised by the participants: the non-existence of patients identified with the wristband; boards in bed with incorrect information; conflict between management and care professionals and that the compulsory use of the wristband in an external sector would increase the number of patients identified. [19][20] It is believed that the identification of the patient and the maintenance of the wristband are the responsibility of the entire multiprofessional team.…”

RESUMO Objetivo: analisar a adesão à identificação do paciente por pulseira pela equipe de saúde e pelos pacientes. Método: trata-se de estudo quantitativo, descritivo e documental. Constituiu-se a amostra por 137 pacientes internados em uma unidade cardiointensiva de um hospital universitário. Coletaram-se os dados, mediante o preenchimento de um formulário estruturado, em seguida, organizados e analisados utilizando-se a estatística descritiva simples. Resultados: observou-se a presença da pulseira de identificação em 100% dos pacientes. Destes, 26% apresentavam não conformidades. Ansalisou-se, a partir dos relatos dos pacientes, que 61% dos profissionais não utilizaram a pulseira para identificá-los no momento dos procedimentos e 90% dos pacientes não foram orientados quanto ao motivo e importância da utilização da pulseira. Conclusão: observou-se de forma unânime a identificação dos pacientes, no entanto, necessita-se, na prática, de maior sensibilização e treinamento da equipe multiprofissional para a adequação conforme se preconiza na Meta 1 de Segurança do Paciente.
