“…The dimension “overall patient safety grade” was reported quite differently among countries and studies. While physician’s perception was reported higher than nurses in Switzerland (78 vs 60%); 18 Taiwan (63.7 vs 52.1%); 23 and Germany; 25 the opposite results were identified in Saudi Arabia, 17 , 29 China; 30 Brazil; 20 , 31 UK; 32 and Ethiopia. 16 The “feedback and communication about error” was reported higher among physicians in Holland 33 while this was lower in USA.…”

“…Physicians and nurses are considered core staff with professional skills, dedicating themselves to health service delivery in hospitals. In general, the physician’s positive response score is higher than nurses on “communication openness and teamwork across unit” in Switzerland; 18 Taiwan; 23 , 24 Germany, 25 Canada; 19 Saudi Arabia; 17 China, 26 Holland 27 and Canada. 28 In comparison, nurses have higher positive response scores on “supervisor/managers expectations and actions on improving patient safety” than physicians and lower responses on “staffing” in Saudi Arabia, 17 , 29 China; 30 Brazil; 20 , 31 UK; 32 and Ethiopia.…”

“… 13 , 15–21 Nonpunitive response to errors often had the lowest scores and teamwork across units often had the highest scores. 9 , 18 , 21 Other research has also indicated that sharing and trust in safety culture are communicated in a health institution with a positive safety culture assessment, which serves to support work performance. 6 , 22…”

Introduction Patient safety culture (PSC) is a vital component in ensuring high-quality and safe patient care. Assessment of physicians’ and nurses’ perceptions of existing hospital PSC is the first step to promoting PSC. This paper is aimed to assess physicians’ and nurses’ perceptions of PSC in 5 public general hospitals in Hanoi, Vietnam. Methods This cross-sectional study surveyed 410 physicians and 824 nurses utilizing the validated Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture in an online format. Results The composite positive physician’s perception of PSC varied from 47.8 to 89.6% with the lowest composite score of patient safety for “staffing” (47.8%) and the highest composite score for “teamwork within units” (89.6%). The composite positive responses for perception among nurses varied from 51.3 to 94.2% with the lowest composite score of patient safety for “staffing” (51.3%) and the highest composite score for “teamwork within units” (94.2%). Conclusion The mean scores for “supervisor/manager expectations”; “staffing”, “management support for patient safety”, “teamwork across units”, “handoffs and transitions” among nurses were significantly higher than that among physicians (p<0.05). About two-thirds of physicians and nurses reported no event in the past 12 months (62.8 and 71.7%, respectively). The nurses reported significantly higher patient grades (every good and excellent) than physicians (75% vs 67.1%, p <0.001). Hospitals could develop and implement intervention programs to improve patient safety, including providing interventions on teamwork and communication, encouraging staff to notify incidents, and avoiding punitive responses.

“…Não se trata de avaliação obrigatória e é focado nos serviços de saúde com atendimento a pacientes críticos, ou seja, instituições que possuem leitos de UTI 5,6,7,8 . Estudos que utilizam autoavaliação são comuns na área de segurança do paciente, porém estão mais voltados para a autoavaliação por parte dos profissionais a respeito de seus conhecimentos, habilidades e atitudes relacionados com as práticas seguras 9,10,11,12,13,14,15 . Estudo brasileiro desenvolveu e validou roteiro para autoavaliação dos núcleos de segurança do paciente (NSP) composto de 47 itens, com nove para o domínio estrutura e 38 para o processo dos NSP 16 , que pode ser ferramenta útil para autoavaliação de todos os serviços de saúde, não apenas aqueles que possuem UTI.…”

Embora tenham diferentes focos, a percepção de todos os pesquisadores é a de que a autoavaliação é útil tanto para estabelecer diagnósticos situacionais quanto para desenhar estratégias que visem ampliar a cultura de segurança dos pacientes nas instituições 9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16 .…”

Introdução: O preenchimento do Formulário da Autoavaliação das Práticas de Segurança do Paciente elaborado pela Anvisa é realizado de forma voluntária e anual serviços de saúde com leitos de UTI e envolve a avaliação de indicadores de estrutura e processo, baseada na Resolução da Diretoria Colegiada da Anvisa nº 36, de 25 de julho de 2013. Objetivo: Analisar o processo de autoavaliação nacional realizado pela Anvisa sob a óptica da vigilância, no período de 2016 a 2019. Método: Realizou-se um estudo retrospectivo, de análise documental no qual foram analisadas e comparadas as informações que eram comuns em quatro Relatórios da Autoavaliação das Práticas de Segurança do Paciente em Serviços de Saúde. Resultados: Observou-se que houve aumento da participação dos hospitais da autoavaliação ao longo dos anos; que a meta prevista no Plano Integrado não foi alcançada; e que os indicadores de processo apresentaram menor conformidade que os de estrutura. Conclusões: Urge a necessidade de implementação de estratégias do Sistema Nacional de Vigilância Sanitária tanto para sensibilizar os gestores sobre a importância da autoavaliação das práticas de segurança do paciente, quanto para a implementação de melhorias nos serviços, bem como de políticas públicas consistentes que visem garantir assistência à saúde de qualidade para a população brasileira.
