ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: To identify the factors associated with the omission of nursing care and patient safety climate. METHOD: A cross-sectional study developed at a university hospital in the Brazilian Center-West, between September and December 2022. The MISSCARE-Brazil and the Safety Attitudes Questionnaire were applied to a convenience sample of 164 nursing professionals. RESULTS: The most omitted care was walking three times a day or as prescribed (66.5%). The overall score of the Safety Attitudes Questionnaire was 63,8 (SD: 12,6). The level of satisfaction (p<0.018) and the perception of professional adequacy (p<0.018) were associated with the omission of nursing care and the patient safety climate. CONCLUSION: The study showed a high prevalence of omission of care and unfavorable perception of the patient safety climate, mainly associated with professional adequacy for work performance.

RESUMEN Objetivo: Identificar los factores asociados a la omisión del cuidado de enfermería y al clima de seguridad del paciente. Método: Estudio transversal desarrollado en hospital universitario del Centro-Oeste brasileño, entre septiembre y diciembre de 2022. El MISSCARE-Brasil y el Safety AttitudesQuestionnaire fueron aplicados a una muestra de conveniencia en 164 profesionales de enfermería. Resultados: El cuidado más omitido fue la ambulación tres veces por día o conforme prescrito (66,5%). El puntaje general del Safety AttitudesQuestionnaire fue 63,8 (DE: 12,6). El nivel de satisfacción (p<0,018) y la percepción de adecuación profesional (p<0,018) se asociaron con la omisión de cuidados de enfermería y con el clima de seguridad del paciente. Conclusión: El estudio mostró alta prevalencia de omisión del cuidado y percepción desfavorable del clima de seguridade, asociados principalmente con la adecuación profesional para el desempeño del trabajo.

Método: Estudo transversal desenvolvido em hospital universitário do Centro-Oeste brasileiro, entre setembro e dezembro de 2022. O MISSCARE-Brasil e o Safety Attitudes Questionnaire foram aplicados a uma amostra de conveniência de 164 profissionais de enfermagem. Resultados: O cuidado mais omitido foi a deambulação três vezes por dia ou conforme prescrito (66,5%). O escore geral do Safety Attitudes Questionnaire foi 63,8 (DP: 12,6). O nível de satisfação (p<0,018) e a percepção de adequação profissional (p<0,018) associaram-se com a omissão do cuidado de enfermagem e com o clima de segurança do paciente. Conclusão: O estudo mostrou alta prevalência de omissão do cuidado e percepção desfavorável do clima de segurança, associados principalmente com a adequação profissional para desempenho do trabalho.
ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND: Measuring the patient safety climate of a health service provides important information about the safety status at a given time. This study aimed to determine the factors influencing the patient safety climate in Intensive Care Units. METHODS: An analytical and cross-sectional study conducted in 2017 and 2018 in two adult Intensive Care Units of a Brazilian Teaching Hospital. The Safety Attitudes Questionnaire instrument was applied with the multidisciplinary teams to determine the factors influencing the patient safety climate. Data were double entered into a database and processed using the R (version 3.5.0) statistical software. Position, central tendency and dispersion measures were taken and absolute and relative frequencies, mean and confidence intervals were calculated for the quantitative variables. Linear regression was performed to verify the effect of variables on the SAQ domains. Variables with a p-value of less than 0.25 were selected for multivariate analysis. RESULTS: A total of 84 healthcare providers participated in the study. The mean Safety Attitudes Questionnaire score was 59.5, evidencing a negative climate. The following factors influenced the safety climate: time since course completion, professional category, type of employment contract, complementary professional training, and weekly workload. CONCLUSIONS: The factors identified indicate items for planning improvements in communication, teamwork, work processes, and management involvement, aiming to ensure care safety and construct a supportive safety climate.
