Nurses' perceptions about the patient safety climate in Primary Health Care.

OBJECTIVE: to evaluate the patient safety climate in Primary Health Care from the perspective of nurses working in the services. METHOD: a quantitative and cross-sectional study conducted with 148 nurses from a municipality in the state of São Paulo. The Brazilian version of the Primary Care Safety Questionnaire Survey and personal, professional, and organizational performance variables (intention to stay at work, job satisfaction, care quality, and frequency of incidents) were used. Parametric and non-parametric comparison tests and Spearman's correlation coefficient were performed, considering a 5% significance level. RESULTS: the safety climate was positive, varying from 4.52 to 5.33 and differing across districts for workload (p=0.0214) and leadership (p=0.0129). The safety climate professional variables and dimensions differed in relation to the frequency of incidents. Teamwork and safety and learning system were strongly correlated with job satisfaction and moderately with perceived care quality. CONCLUSION: teamwork and safety and learning system stood out for their positive correlations with job satisfaction and care quality. A positive safety climate favors the involvement of Primary Care nurses to develop improvement plans aligned with the National Patient Safety Program. BACKGROUND: (1) The safety climate is perceived differently across health districts. (2) There is a correlation between the climate dimensions and professional satisfaction. (3) Workload and leadership exert an influence on the safety climate perception. (4) There is a relationship between the safety climate and reporting of care-related incidents. (5) The safety climate is perceived differently among nurses regarding their role.

Application of the Primary Care Safety Questionnaire to primary health care professionals: cross-sectional study.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the perception of the patient safety climate in primary health care associated with professional categories, health centers, and previous experience of participation in the National Program for the Improvement of Access and Quality of Primary Care. METHOD: Cross-sectional study with 119 health professionals in a city in the interior of the state of São Paulo, between August 2019 and February 2020, using the Brazilian version of the Primary Care Safety Questionnaire. RESULTS: The safety climate was favorable, with better evaluation for communication and leadership and worse evaluation for workload. There were differences among health centers regarding teamwork (p=0.0010), workload (p=0.0001) and total score (p=0.0185). Professionals with previous experience participating in the improvement program have a better perception of the climate. CONCLUSION: The perception of climate did not differ between professional categories but differed between health centers.

Patient Safety Climate, Quality of Care, and Intention of Nursing Professionals to Remain in Their Job During the COVID-19 Pandemic.

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to examine the relationship between patient safety climate, quality of care, and intention of nursing professionals to remain in their job. METHODS: A cross-sectional study was carried out in a teaching hospital in Brazil wherein nursing professionals were surveyed. The Brazilian version of the Patient Safety Climate in Healthcare Organizations tool was applied to measure the patient safety climate. Spearman correlation coefficient and multiple linear regression models were applied for the analysis. RESULTS: A high percentage of problematic response was observed for most dimensions, except for fear of shame. Quality of care resulted in a strong correlation with organizational resources for safety and with overall emphasis on patient safety, and the nurse-perceived staffing adequacy was strongly correlated with organizational resources for safety. The multiple linear regression model showed higher scores in quality of care in dimensions related to organizational, work unit, and interpersonal aspects as well as in the adequacy of the number of professionals. A higher score in intention to stay in one's job was also found in the dimensions of fear of blame and punishment, provision of safe care, and adequacy of the number of professionals. CONCLUSIONS: The organizational and work unit aspects can lead to a better perception of the quality of care. Improving interpersonal relationships and increasing the number of professionals on staff were found to increase nurses' intention to remain in their jobs. Assessing a hospital's patient safety climate will enable improvement in the provision of safe and harm-free health care assistance.

Nursing work environment and accreditation: Is there a relationship?

BACKGROUND: The association between Magnet recognition and nursing work environment is well established; however, little is known about hospital accreditation and its relationship to the nursing work environment. OBJECTIVE: To describe the Brazilian nurses' perceptions of the work environment and their relationship with hospital accreditation. METHODS: A cross-sectional survey study was carried out in three Brazilian hospitals. Nurses who delivered direct patient care and worked for at least 6 months were invited to participate. Those who were on vacation or leave for any reason during data collection were excluded. The participants were asked to fill out the personal and professional characterization form and the Brazilian version of the Revised Nursing Work Index. RESULTS: The work environment was evaluated as favourable by Brazilian nurses. Linear regression analysis evidenced that hospital accreditation is associated with the nursing work environment, affecting the nurse-physician relationship (OR = 0.266, p < .001), organisational support (OR = 0.256, p < .001), control over the practice setting (OR = 0.229, p < .001) and autonomy (OR = 0.227, p < .001). CONCLUSION: The findings suggest that there is a positive influence of hospital accreditation on nurses' perceptions of the work environment concerning autonomy, nurse-physician relationship, control over the practice setting and organisational support. IMPLICATION FOR NURSING MANAGEMENT: Nurse managers can apply the recommendations of certification programmes in practice settings to improve the nursing work environment.

Nurse work environment and its impact on reasons for missed care, safety climate, and job satisfaction: A cross-sectional study.

AIM: To describe the nurse work environment and its relation to reasons for missed nursing care, safety climate, and job satisfaction. DESIGN: This was a cross-sectional study. METHODS: Two hundred and nineteen nursing professionals by a convenience sample from two teaching hospitals between April 2017 and October 2017. The variables nurse work environment, reasons for missed nursing care, safety climate, and job satisfaction were collected by measuring instruments, and a descriptive, correlation, and comparative analyses were performed. RESULTS: The nurse work environment was classified as mixed, with three subscales of the instrument resulting in scores that represented a better nurse work environment, namely: nursing foundations for quality care; collegial nurse-physician relations; and nurse manager ability, leadership, and support. The most frequent reasons for missed care were related to labour and material resources. A better work environment was associated with a high level of work satisfaction, better perception of the safety climate, and fewer reasons for missed care. CONCLUSION: Better nurse work environments can contribute to improving nurses' perception of job satisfaction and the safety climate, and to reducing reasons for missed care. IMPACT: Authentic leadership in the nurse work environment has implications in terms of reducing the reasons for missed nursing care, improving the perception of the safety climate, and job satisfaction. Nurse managers should evaluate the nurse work environment and missed nursing care as an important predictors of the quality of patient care.

Lean Healthcare in the institutional, professional, and patient perspective: an integrative review.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the scientific evidences in the literature about the evaluation of Lean Healthcare after its implementation. METHOD: An integrative review conducted in the CINAHL, Scopus, WOS, and Embase databases, and in the PubMed portal, resulting in 18 articles published in English, Spanish and Portuguese, from 2008 to 2019. RESULTS: The findings were categorized into results for the institution, professional, and patient. The predominant category was institutional, with cost analysis and increased productivity, followed by the professional, with job satisfaction and leadership, and finally the patient, with satisfaction, attitudes, and behaviors. CONCLUSION: This study reinforces the need to establish, for management, a systematic method of monitoring the results achieved in the Lean Healthcare implementation phase. Since the value in this method is defined by the patient, further research in this aspect may lead to new evidence.

Nursing knowledge patterns: nurses' image and role in society perceived by students.

OBJECTIVES: to understand high school students' perception about the nurse's image and role in society, from nursing knowledge patterns. METHODS: phenomenographic qualitative study, developed between October 2017 and January 2018, in a public university in the countryside of the state of São Paulo, with eight Interdisciplinary Higher Education Program (Programa de Formação Interdisciplinar Superior) students. The findings were collected through semi-structured interviews and analyzed by the phenomenography framework, supported by rereading nursing knowledge patterns. RESULTS: two categories emerged: Perception of nurses' image, which contemplates their positive and negative characteristics, attributes and place where they operate; and Nurses' role in society, in which their work is compared with physicians'. Final Considerations: despite their essential role in care, subordination to medical knowledge and lack of knowledge of nurses' functions still reflect their image.

Nursing safety attitudes: relationship with time of experience and intention to leave the job.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the safety attitudes of the nursing staff and their relationship with staff adequacy and material resources, time of experience and intention to leave the job. METHOD: A descriptive and cross-sectional study in a teaching hospital, sampled by convenience, with the application of the Safety Attitudes Questionnaire, collected from January to April 2016. RESULTS: 262 professionals participated, of whom 98 were nurses and 164 technicians. They reported a positive safety attitude for job satisfaction. The adequacy of staff and material resources positively influenced safety attitudes. There was a negative correlation between time of experience and perception of management, safety climate, working conditions and safe behaviors and, between the intention to leave the job and the teamwork climate, job satisfaction, and safe behaviors. CONCLUSION: The negative perception of safety attitudes was related to the time of experience and to the intention to leave the job.

ABSTRACT Objective To evaluate the frequency and reasons for missed nursing care and to verify whether the reasons for omission differ between professional categories. Method A quantitative and cross-sectional study carried out in the adult hospitalization units of a public hospital of a teaching institution. Data collection was performed from February to April 2017, through a personal and professional characterization form and the MISSCARE-BRASIL instrument. Results Fifty-eight (58) nursing professionals responsible for direct patient care participated in the study, of which 74.1% reported at least one missed nursing care activity during the work shift. The main reasons attributed to missed care situations were an inadequate amount of professionals, urgent situations with the patients during the work shift, and the non-availability of medicine, materials or equipment when necessary. Conclusion Most care was "always" or "often" performed, and the reasons given for missed care are related to work resources, materials, and management style. Nurses differ from the technicians as to the reasons for not performing care.

Bullying in the nursing work environment: integrative review.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the studies that approach bullying in the nursing practice environment. METHOD: Integrative review, conducted between April and December 2018, by combining the descriptors "bullying/bullying" AND "nursing/nursing/nurse" AND "workplace/workplace". We identified 224 studies of which 38 met the inclusion criteria. RESULTS: The studies on nursing bullying presented three main approaches related to the prevalence in nursing practice, the repercussions for health and professional development, and the construction of theoretical models for bullying and nursing work environment variables. CONCLUSION: Bullying is a negative behavior present in the nursing practice environment and has a direct impact on professional performance, impairing general health and professional performance. Despite being a behavior with recognized negative potential in the work environment, few studies propose effective actions to prevent or control this phenomenon in health institutions.

Job satisfaction of the nursing team in intensive care units.

OBJECTIVE: to evaluate job satisfaction and its relationship with the personal and professional characteristics of the nursing team. METHOD: a descriptive and cross-sectional study with 163 nursing workers from the intensive care units of a teaching hospital. For data collection, the Brazilian version of the Job Satisfaction Survey and a personal and professional characterization form were used. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, comparisons and correlations. RESULTS: the professionals demonstrated ambivalence for job satisfaction in a global way and concerning the communication domain. They were satisfied with the supervision, co-workers, and nature of work, while dissatisfied with other domains. There was a correlation between the intention to stay in the job and the majority of the Job Satisfaction Survey domains, except for co-workers and operating procedures, and a correlation between time working at the unit and at the institution with the domains pay, contingent rewards, and supervision. CONCLUSION: there was an ambivalence regarding job satisfaction and the variables intention of stay in the job and time working at the unit and at the institution were correlated with job satisfaction concerning the domains pay, contingent rewards, and supervision.

Cultural adaptation of the Retirement Resources Inventory for Brazilian culture.

OBJECTIVE: To translate and adapt the Retirement Resources Inventory for Brazilian culture. METHODS: Methodological research including the stages of translation, synthesis, evaluation by committee of judges, back-translation and pre-test. The internal consistency of the instrument with Cronbach's alpha coefficient was evaluated. RESULTS: We considered the stages of translation and cultural adaptation adequate. The evaluation of the synthesis version by the judges resulted in the need to change 95.0% of the items to ensure the semantic, idiomatic, cultural and conceptual equivalence between the original and translated versions. In general consensus of the instrument, the agreement rate among the judges for the equivalences was 84.4%. As for the pre-test stage, 25 pre-retirees participated. The participants suggested adjustments in the instrument. The instrument's internal consistency was 0.85. The mean time to fill in the instrument was 18.7 minutes. CONCLUSIONS: The methodological process of cultural adaptation of the Retirement Resources Inventory resulted in adequate content validity and ease of understanding by the participants. We emphasize that this study precedes the evaluation process of the psychometric properties of the instrument, which will be carried out in new studies.

Nurse Burnout Revisited: A Comparison of Computational Methods.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: To examine computational measures of job-related burnout to determine the best computation to estimate job satisfaction and intent to leave in Brazilian nursing professionals. METHODS: Maslach Burnout Inventory-Human Services Survey (MBI-HSS) was used assess burnout in 452 hospital-based nursing professionals. Adjusted logistic regression models were fit using different computations of burnout to estimate outcomes of interest. RESULTS: Total mean score of burnout subscales was the best estimate of job satisfaction (Cox-Snell R2 = 0.312; Nagelkerke R2 = 0.450) and intent to leave (Cox-Snell R2 = 0.156; Nagelkerke R2 = 0.300), as was high emotional exhaustion (Cox-Snell R2 = 0.219; Nagelkerke R2 = 0.316). CONCLUSION: We have provided evidence that different computations of data from the Portuguese (Brazil) MBI-HSS can be used in to estimate the effect of job-related burnout on nurse outcomes.

Abstract Introduction The evaluation of Burnout syndrome among nursing professionals becomes fundamental given its influence on the outcomes for patients, professionals and institutions. The aim of this study was to evaluate the incidence of Burnout among nursing professionals in three public hospitals. Materials and Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted with 452 nursing professionals from the State of Minas Gerais, Brazil. A personal and professional information form and the Maslach Burnout Inventory (Human Services Survey) were used. Results Most participants showed low levels of emotional exhaustion (38.94%), depersonalization (45.80%) and reduced personal accomplishment (39.16%). The variables age (p = 0.010), hospital (p < 0.001), professional bond type (p < 0.001), time spent in hospital (p = 0.010) and in the department (p = 0.017) were related to emotional exhaustion. Gender (p = 0.013) and time spent in hospital (p =0,007) and the department (p = 0,020) were related to depersonalization. Personal accomplishment was better among professionals working on a certified hospital (p<0.001), during the day shift (p = 0.049), who had a fixed position (p<0.001) and who were older (p = 0.023). Discussion Emotional exhaustion was characterized as fundamental for Burnout to arise among nursing professionals and depersonalization frequently coincide with emotional exhaustion. The exact definition of the participation of each individual in the outcome of care is difficult to delimit as it might influence the perception of professionals regarding personal accomplishment in work. Conclusions Personal and professional characteristics were associated with Burnout among nursing professionals. It is important to promote actions that can reduce the incidence of Burnout among nursing professionals.
