Validation of the patient reported experiences and outcomes of safety in primary care compact Form Brazil.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the psychometric properties of the cross-culturally adapted version of the Patient Reported Experiences and Outcomes of Safety in Primary Care (PREOS-PC) Compact Form Brazil. METHODS: A methodological study was conducted with 281 adult Primary Health Care users. Data collection took place online. Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) was used to evaluate the psychometric properties of the PREOS-PC after the process of cross-cultural adaptation to the Brazilian context. Internal consistency was evaluated through Cronbach's alpha coefficient (α) and McDonald's omega coefficient (ω). RESULTS: The sample consisted of 73.3% women. The mean age was 36.1 years (SD = 12.2). Of the 23 items of the PREOS-PC that were eligible for CFA, a model with four correlated domains and 16 items presented satisfactory fit indexes. The domains were Practice Activation (PrA) (four items), Patient Activation (PaA) (two items), Experiences of patient safety events (EPaS) (five items) and Outcomes of patient safety (OPaS) (six items). One domain (GPeS) presented one question with a 0 to 10 response scale and two open questions, which cannot be inserted in the CPA due to the nature of the items, but can be included in the application of the scale, being evaluated individually. In this factorial model, five items (EPaS2, EPaS3, EPaS4, EPaS5, EPaS6 and EPaS8) presented factor loadings ≤ 0.30. The α and ω values demonstrated good internal consistency for all domains of the PREOS-PC. CONCLUSIONS: The Brazilian version of the PREOS-PC Compact Form Brazil composed of four domains (PrA, PA, EPaS and OPaS) and 16 items presented evidence of validation of its psychometric properties and can be used to evaluate the experiences and results of patient safety in Primary Health Care in the Brazilian context.

Factors associated with care omission and patient safety climate.

Abstract Objective To analyze the types and prevalence of use of antithrombotic drugs by older people and associated factors. Method A cross-sectional study of community-dwelling older people was carried out in the city of Goiânia, Midwest Brazil. The pharmacological classification of antithrombotic drugs was performed according to the Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical (ATC) classification. Bivariate and multivariate analyses were performed with a significance level of 5%. Results 212 older people participated in the study and the prevalence of antithrombotic drug use was 27.8%. The most used types were acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) (n= 49; 83%), Clopidogrel (n=6; 10.1%) and Cilostazol (n=4; 6.7%). Associated factors were the 70-79 years age group (p<0.001) and polypharmacy (p<0.001). Conclusion The proportion of antithrombotic use by the participants was high and the most used drugs posed a risk of complications and drug-drug interactions. Attention should be heightened in individuals aged >70 years and in use of polypharmacy and efforts must be made to clinically monitor these users of antithrombotic drugs therapy.

Adherence to safety barriers in medication administration: patients' perception.

OBJECTIVE: to analyze the perception of patients about health professionals' adherence to safety barriers in medication administration. METHOD: cross-sectional and correlational study carried out in a hospital in the countryside of São Paulo, with a total of 249 adult patients admitted to the medical clinic. An electronic form developed by the researcher was used. Quantitative variables were analyzed in mean, median and standard deviation. Likert-type variables were calculated according to the perception score and the Bayesian Information criterion was used. The cutoff point for positive assessment of the patients' perception was 0.75. RESULTS: the average perception score was 0.29 and, of the 15 barriers analyzed, eight are never adhered by professionals, in the opinion of most patients. Also, age was the only variable with statistical significance. CONCLUSION: the younger the patient, the better their perception of health professionals' adherence to safety barriers in medication administration.

Reflections on patient safety incident reporting systems.

OBJECTIVE: To reflect on the main characteristics and recommendations of Incident Reporting Systems, discuss the population's participation in reporting, and point out challenges in the Brazilian system. METHOD: Reflection study, based on Ordinance No. 529/13, which instituted the National Patient Safety Program, under Collegiate Board Resolution (CBR) No. 36/13; reflections by experts were added. RESULTS: Reporting systems are a source for learning and monitoring, allow early detection of incidents, investigations and, mainly, the generation of recommendations prior to recurrences, in addition to raising information for patients and relatives. There is little participation of the population in the reporting, regardless of the type of system and characteristics such as confidentiality, anonymity, and mandatory nature. FINAL CONSIDERATIONS: In Brazil, although reporting is mandatory, there is an urgency to advance the involvement and participation of the population, professionals, and institutions. To simplify data entry by improving the interface and importing data from the reporting system is an objective to be achieved.

Retrospective study of immunization errors reported in an online Information System.

OBJECTIVE: to analyze the immunization errors reported in an online Information System. METHOD: retrospective study conducted with data from the Adverse Event Following Immunization Surveillance Information System. Immunization errors were analyzed with respect to demographic characteristics and the vaccination process. Frequencies and error incidence rates have been calculated. Binomial and chi-square tests were used to verify differences in the proportions of the variables. RESULTS: 501 errors were analyzed, the majority involving routine doses (92.6%), without Adverse Event Following Immunization (90.6%) and in children under five years old (55.7%). The most frequent types of errors were inadequacy in the indication of the immunobiological (26.9%), inadequate interval between doses (18.2%) and error in the administration technique (14.2%). The overall error incidence rate was 4.05/100,000 doses applied; the highest incidences of routine vaccines were for human rabies vaccine, human papillomavirus and triple viral; the incidence rate of errors with Adverse Events Following Immunization was 0.45/100,000 doses applied. CONCLUSION: it was found that immunization errors are a reality to be faced by the health systems, but they are amenable to prevention through interventions such as the adoption of protocols, checklists and permanent education in health.

Factors related to the patient safety climate in an emergency hospital.

OBJECTIVE: to verify the relationship between the socio-demographic and work profile of the nursing professionals and the patient safety climate in a public emergency hospital. METHOD: a cross-sectional study carried out with 177 nursing professionals from a public emergency hospital. For data collection, the Safety Attitudes Questionnaire - Short Form 2006 was used, validated and cross-culturally adapted to the Portuguese language. To check the factors related to the instrument's domains, bivariate and multivariate analyses were performed. RESULTS: working in the medical and surgical clinic or emergency room, on a night shift, and having the intention to leave nursing, reduced the general safety climate in the multiple regression analysis. The younger professionals, with less than four years in the institution, and those who worked in the night shift had a lower safety climate related to the perception of the management. On the other hand, having a work contract with a hired worker improved the general safety climate and workplace satisfaction. CONCLUSION: identifying predictors on patient safety scores is an important management tool that allows diagnosing, planning and executing activities from the domains that need to be improved.

Omission of nursing care in hospitalization units.

OBJECTIVE: to describe the prevalence and reasons for omission of nursing care, according to the perception of nursing professionals working in a teaching hospital. METHOD: a cross-sectional study was carried out with 267 professionals from ten hospitalization units. Data were collected by the MISSCARE-Brasil instrument. Descriptive statistics and Pearson's Chi-square or Fisher's exact tests were used to compare differences in the prevalence of omission among professional categories. RESULTS: among the elements of nursing care, the highest prevalence of omission consisted in: to sit up the patient out of bed (70.3%), ambulation three times a day (69.1%), and participation in the discussion of the interdisciplinary team on patient's health care (67.2%). The most frequent reasons were: inadequate number of staff (85.4%), inadequate number of staff for providing care or in administrative tasks (81.6%), and unexpected increase in the number and/or greater severity of patients (79.8%). Nurses reported major omission than nursing technicians/auxiliaries in four elements of care (p<0.05). CONCLUSION: according to our study, there is high prevalence of omission of nursing care elements from the professionals' perspective. Factors related to human and material resources were more reported as causes for such omission.

A taxa de incidência global de erros foi de 4,05/100.000 doses aplicadas; as maiores incidências das vacinas de rotina foram para vacina antirrábica humana, papiloma vírus humano e tríplice viral; a taxa de incidência de erros com Eventos Adversos Pós-Vacinação foi de 0,45/100.000 doses aplicadas. Conclusão: verificou-se que erros de imunização são uma realidade a ser enfrentada pelos sistemas de saúde, porém são passíveis de prevenção por meio de intervenções como adoção de protocolos, checklists e educação permanente em saúde.

Objetivo: analizar los errores de inmunización reportados en un Sistema de Información en línea. Método: estudio retrospectivo realizado con datos del Sistema de Información de Vigilancia de Eventos Adversos Posteriores a la Vacunación. Los errores de inmunización se analizaron con respecto a las características demográficas y el proceso de vacunación. Se calcularon las frecuencias y las tasas de incidencia de errores. Se utilizaron pruebas binomiales y de chi-cuadrado para verificar las diferencias en las proporciones de las variables. Resultados: se analizaron 501 errores, la mayoría con dosis de rutina (92,6%), sin evento adverso posterior a la vacunación (90,6%) y en niños menores de cinco años (55,7%). Los tipos de errores más frecuentes fueron la insuficiencia en la indicación del inmunobiológico (26,9%), el intervalo inadecuado entre las dosis (18,2%) y el error en la técnica de administración (14,2%). La tasa de incidencia de error global fue de 4,05/100.000 dosis aplicadas; las mayores incidencias de las vacunas de rutina fueron para la vacuna contra la rabia humana, el virus del papiloma humano y el triple viral; La tasa de incidencia de errores con los eventos adversos posteriores a la vacunación fue de 0,45/100.000 dosis aplicadas. Conclusión: se encontró que los errores de inmunización son una realidad que deben enfrentar los sistemas de salud, pero se pueden prevenir mediante intervenciones como la adopción de protocolos, checklists y educación permanente en salud.

Evaluation of the patient safety climate in hospitalization units: a cross-sectional study. / Avaliação do clima de segurança do paciente em unidades de internação hospitalar: um estudo transversal.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the perception of nurses from different hospitalization units of a teaching hospital in Goiás about the climate of patient safety. METHOD: An analytical cross-sectional study carried out using the Safety Attitudes Questionnaire - Short Form 2006, translated and validated for use in Brazil. All the ethical precepts in research were respected. RESULTS: Fifty (50) nurses participated in the study. The general perception of the climate of patient safety was unfavorable. The worst perception was related to Management Perception, and the best was associated with Job Satisfaction. All hospitalization units also presented an unfavorable general safety climate, but the analysis by domains indicated differences in which the maternal-infant and pediatric units had the highest number of means considered positive (≥ 75), mainly in the domains of Teamwork Climate and Job Satisfaction. There was a moderate correlation between the domain of Teamwork Climate with the domains of Safety Climate, Management Perception, Job Satisfaction and Working Conditions. There was also a moderate correlation between the domains of Safety Climate and Working Conditions. CONCLUSION: The results indicate weaknesses that allow directing the management for improvement actions for the sake of patient safety.

Incidence of Central Venous Catheter-Related Bloodstream Infections: Evaluation of Bundle Prevention in Two Intensive Care Units in Central Brazil.

BACKGROUND: Central venous catheter-associated bloodstream infections (CVC-BSIs) have been associated with increased length of hospital stay, mortality, and healthcare costs, especially in intensive care units (ICUs). The aim of this study was to evaluate the incidence density of CVC-BSIs before and after implementation of the bundle in a hospital of infectious and dermatological diseases in Central Brazil. METHODS: A retrospective cohort study was conducted in two ICUs (adult and pediatric) between 2012 and 2015. Two periods were compared to assess the effect of the intervention in incidence density of CVC-BSIs: before and after intervention, related to the stages before and after the implementation of the bundle, respectively. RESULTS: No significant reduction was observed in the incidence density of CVC-BSIs in adult ICU (incidence rate ratio [IRR]: 0.754; 95.0% CI: 0.349 to 1.621; p-value = 0.469), despite the high bundle application rate in the postintervention period. Similarly, significant reduction in the incidence density in pediatric ICU has not been verified after implementation of the bundle (IRR: 1.148; 95.0% CI: 0.314 to 4.193; p-value = 0.834). CONCLUSION: Not significant reduction in the incidence density of CVC-BSIs was observed after bundle implementation in ICUs, suggesting the need to review the use of process, as well as continuing education for staffs in compliance and correct application of the bundle. Further studies are needed to evaluate the effect of bundle in the reduction of incidence density of CVC-BSIs in Brazil.
