Objective: to analyze patient safety incidents identified by caregivers of hospitalized children. Method: a qualitative, exploratory-descriptive study was carried out with 40 caregivers of children hospitalized in three hospital institutions in the city of Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul State, Brazil, from April to December 2016. Semi-structured, recorded and transcribed interviews were carried out in their entirety, submitted to a thematic analysis using the NVivo 11.0 software. Results: reports related to falls, infant feeding, patient/caregiver identification, medication process, communication, hand hygiene and hygiene of the hospital environment, spread of diseases, relations between caregivers and professionals and care processes/procedures were all cited. Final considerations: communication and the relations among caregivers and professionals are the main contributory factors for patient safety incidents, interfering with the quality of care. The participation of caregivers and engagement in child care may be strategies to be developed to promote a safety culture.

This becomes possible when there is active listening and partnership between the professionals and the caregivers for the child's comfort and safety (5,7) .…”

“…The biggest challenges are believed to be to disseminate the patient safety culture and manage risks, which represents a basic premise in care processes, given that the patient safety culture is a set of values, attitudes, skills and behaviors that are committed to health and safety management and aim to minimize risks. [1][2] These risks refer to the likelihood of events/harm to the patient over a period of time and may occur during or after treatment, hospitalization and procedures. 3 In this context, the purpose was to intensify actions aimed at patient safety after the great impact of the publication of the report "To Err Is Human" by the Institute of Medicine (IOM), in the United States, in 1999, with the an estimated 44 to 98,000 Americans who died each year from health carerelated errors considered preventable deaths.…”
