Identificação do paciente nas organizações de saúde: uma reflexão emergente / Identificación del paciente en las organizaciones de salud: una reflexión emergente / Patient identification in healthcare organizations: an emerging debate

O processo de identificação do paciente é essencial para garantir a segurança e a qualidade da assistência nas instituições de saúde. O emprego de pulseira para identificação é uma prática usual. Contudo, fatores culturais, organizacionais, materiais e humanos concorrem para sua não conformidade, induzindo a erros ou acarretando eventos adversos. Este artigo teve como objetivos destacar os elementos constituintes do processo de identificação do paciente por meio de pulseiras e refletir acerca da implementação desse processo nas instituições hospitalares. Adotaram-se referenciais teóricos e normatizações de organizações e órgãos acreditadores que discutem a temática da segurança no âmbito hospitalar, bem como as iniciativas destinadas à identificação segura do paciente. Conclui-se que a identificação do paciente por meio de pulseira é uma prática recomendada internacionalmente, porém há lacunas no que tange à instituição de protocolos, à execução efetiva e à avaliação do processo para subsidiar ações gerenciais e assistências.

El proceso de identificación del paciente es esencial para garantizarla seguridad y la calidad de la atención en las instituciones de salud. El uso de la pulsera de identificación es una práctica común; sin embargo, factores culturales, organizativos, materiales y humanos compiten por su no conformidad, induciendo a errores o eventos adversos. Este trabajo tuvo como objetivo resaltar los elementos constituyentes del proceso de identificación del paciente por medio de las pulseras y reflexionar acerca de la implementación de este proceso en los hospitales. Hemos adoptado marcos teóricos y normas de organizaciones y organismos acreditadores que discuten la temática de seguridad en los hospitales, así como las iniciativas para la identificación segura del paciente. Se concluye que la pulsera de identificación del paciente es una práctica internacionalmente recomendada, pero hay brechas respecto al establecimiento de protocolos, la implementación eficaz y la evaluación del proceso para apoyar las acciones de gestión y asistencia.

The patient identification process is essential to ensure safety and quality of assistance in healthcare institutions. The use of a wristband for identification is common practice, although cultural, organization, material and human factors cause non-conformity resulting in errors or adverse events. The aim of this article is to highlight constituent elements of the patient identification process by means of wristbands and discuss topics related to the implementation of this process in hospitals. This study was based on theoretic references and standardizations of accrediting organizations and bodies that debate security in the hospital environment and incentives for safe patient identification. It was concluded that patient identification by means of wristbands is recommended internationally although there are loopholes in relation to protocol, effective execution and evaluation of the process to support management and healthcare actions.

Adaptação transcultural e validação do Safety Attitudes Questionnaire/Operating Room Version para o contexto brasileiro / Transcultural adaptation and validation of Safety Attitudes Questionnaire/Operating Room Version to the Brazilian context

A vulnerabilidade dos pacientes, que se submetem ao procedimento cirúrgico, e a complexidade de atividades e das relações interpessoais entre as equipes cirúrgicas são consideradas elementos intervenientes na segurança do paciente. Nesse sentido, pesquisas vêm sendo conduzidas visando mensurar o clima de segurança percebido pelos profissionais, com vistas a avaliar a cultura de segurança nos serviços de saúde. Objetivo: Realizar a adaptação transcultural e a validação do Safety Attitudes Questionnaire/Operating Room Version (SAQ/OR) para o contexto brasileiro. Método: Trata-se de um estudo de cunho metodológico, de adaptação e validação de um questionário destinado a mensurar o clima de segurança em centro cirúrgico, desenvolvido em duas etapas: a primeira consistiu na tradução linguística e na adaptação cultural e a segunda na validação do instrumento. Para a tradução e adaptação transcultural o método empregado foi constituído pelas fases: tradução, síntese, retrotradução, avaliação por comitê de juízes, pré-teste com 30 sujeitos e submissão e avaliação dos relatórios pelos autores do instrumento original. Doze juízes realizaram a validação das equivalências experiencial, conteúdo, conceitual, semântica e idiomática; o índice de Validade de Conteúdo estabelecido foi a 80%. Os dados desta etapa foram coletados de agosto de 2013 a abril de 2014. A validação de constructo do instrumento foi realizada pela análise fatorial exploratória e a análise da confiabilidade por meio do alpha de Cronbach.O questionário foi aplicado a uma amostra de 590 profissionais de saúde atuantes em centro cirúrgico, em quatro hospitais do Município de São Paulo. O período de coleta de dados foi de maio a agosto de 2014. Resultados: As etapas de tradução e retrotradução foram consideradas adequadas e a avaliação pelos juízes apresentou os seguintes resultados para as equivalências: experiencial 82,3%, de conteúdo 82,8%, conceitual 85%, de semântica 85,2% e idiomática 85,5%. A análise fatorial exploratória resultou em um questionário com 40 assertivas, sendo 30 alocadas em seis domínios, a saber: clima de segurança, percepção da gerência, percepção do estresse, condição do trabalho, comunicação no ambiente cirúrgico e percepção do desempenho profissional. Dez assertivas foram agrupadas em fatores que apresentaram alpha de Cronbach inferior a 0,50 e baixa correlação ao item total; assim não foram descritas como domínio. A versão adaptada mostrou-se confiável, obtendo o valor geral do alpha de Cronbach de 0,87. O domínio comunicação no ambiente cirúrgico apresentou o menor valor de alpha 0,59; nos outros cinco domínios os valores variaram de 0,71 a 0,82. Conclusões: Os achados desta pesquisa produziram a versão brasileira do questionário, denominada SAQ/Centro Cirúrgico, a qual foi adaptada e validada na amostra estudada. Contudo, recomenda-se a aplicação do questionário em outras instituições do país para proceder a novas análises psicométricas.

The vulnerability of patients, who have underwent a surgical procedure, the complexity of activities and the interpersonal relationships between surgical teams are considered intervening elements for patient safety. Thus, researches are being conducted aiming to measure the safety climate perceived by professionals, directed towards evaluation of the safety climate in healthcare services. Objective: Do the transcultural adaptation and validation of Safety Attitudes Questionnaire/Operating Room Version to Brazilian context. Method: This is a study, with methodological emphasis, of the adaptation and validation of a questionnaire intended for measuring the safety climate in surgical centers, and developed in two stages: the first was the linguistics translation and cultural adaptation, and the second was instrument validation. For the translation and transcultural adaptation, the method employed was constituted by the steps: translation, synthesis, retrotranslation, evaluation by a judges committee, pretesting with 30 subjects, and submittal to and evaluation of the reports by the authors of the original instrument. Twelve judges have executed the experiential, content, conceptual, semantics and idiomatic equivalences; the index defined for content validity was 80%. The data for this stage was collected from August 2013 to April 2014. The instrument construct validation was done through exploratory factor analysis and the reliability analysis through Cronbachs alpha.The questionnaire was applied to a sample of 590 health professionals working in surgical centers in four hospitals of the municipality of São Paulo. The data collection period went from May to August 2014. Results: The stages of translation and retrotranslation were considered proper, and the judges evaluation presented the following results for the equivalences: experiential 82.3%, content 82.8%, conceptual 85%, semantics 85.2%, and idiomatic 85.5%. The exploratory factor analysis resulted in a questionnaire with 40 statements, 30 of them assigned to six domains, that is: safety climate, management perception, stress perception, working conditions, communications in the surgical environment and professional performance perception. Ten statements were grouped in factors presenting Cronbachs alpha less than 0.50 and low correlation with the total item; thus, they were not described as a domain. The adapted version has proven reliable, reaching a general value of 0.87 for Cronbachs Alpha. The domain Communications on Surgical Environment presented the less value of 0.59 for Alpha; on the other domains the values varied from 0.71 to 0.82. Conclusions: The findings of this research resulted in a Brazilian version of the questionnaire, called SAQ/Centro Cirúrgico (SAQ/Surgical Center), which was adapted and validated through the studied sample. However, we recommend applying the questionnaire in other institutions of the country to do new psychometric analyses.
