Abstract

Objetivo: identificar e avaliar a adesão ao Procedimento Operacional Padrão referente à identificação dos pacientes vigente na Instituição. Método: pesquisa quantitativa, descritiva, composta de 45 pacientes selecionados intencionalmente. A coleta de dados ocorreu por método observacional, por meio de formulário estruturado, com dados referentes à utilizaçãodas pulseiras de identificação nas clínicas médicas de um hospital universitário. Para análise, foi utilizada estatística descritiva com frequências absolutas e relativas. Resultados: 82% dos pacientes encontravam-se com a pulseira corretamente e18% dos pacientes estavam sem a pulseira. Quanto à conservação, 40% estavam em bom estado 22% em regular estado e38% em péssimo estado. Conclusão: o estudo mostrou inconformidades no processo de identificação do paciente e contribuiu ao identificar elementos no uso de pulseiras que podem ser aprimorados para o seguro processo de identificação.Descritores: Sistemas de identificação de pacientes; Segurança do paciente; Enfermagem.

Nursing Contributions on Patient Safety in Medical Clinics: An Integrative Review of the Literature

“…The first category of analysis was "identifying patients correctly" and three articles were found [7,8,9] that highlighted the use of forms to identify the patient signaling the presence of some risk, in addition to applying in practice the proposal to implement the wristband with barcode on patient identification.…”

“…Silva [8] reports that a part of the patients do not use the identification bracelet because they consider it to be irrelevant to the use, while other patients reported that the absence of the bracelet was because no professional performed such a procedure. In addition, the same author states that the condition of the bracelet is crucial for patient identification and, consequently, for patient safety.…”
