Abstract
to analyze the contents on patient safety in the training of nursing technicians. a documentary study, conducted in three technical nursing courses at a public university in northeastern Brazil, based on the Multi-Professional Patient Safety Curriculum Guide, published by the World Health Organization. we found that, of the 26 subjects in each course, the tracking terms were found in 22 subjects in the A/C courses, 23 in the B course. The topics of the guide with the highest number of terms were the improvement in medication safety, with 85 terms (22.6%), and Infection prevention and control, with 75 terms (20%). The contents do not express the comprehensiveness of patient safety education; some subjects had this focus, while others did not. the documents revealed gaps in the contents related to patient safety and demonstrated that they are addressed only in the course syllabus and discipline plans.
Highlights
METHODSHealth professionals have responsibilities on carrying out procedures in patient care, since any malpractice can prolong the time of hospitalization or cause irreversible damage
We developed a document research protocol based on a reference framework[12] composed of the following strategies: reading the course documents, search for tracer terms, correlation of the terms identified in the records with the 11 topics of the World Health Organization (WHO) Guide, Multi-Professional Patient Safety Curriculum Guide, investigation of the presence or absence of tracer terms in the analyzed documents, and interpretative synthesis
After searching for the tracking terms, we found mentions of the topic “patient safety,” in the course syllabus and discipline plans
Summary
METHODSHealth professionals have responsibilities on carrying out procedures in patient care, since any malpractice can prolong the time of hospitalization or cause irreversible damage. One of the implementation strategies of this ordinance aims to include the topic “patient safety”in the curricula of Health Professionals of Technical, Higher, and postgraduate level, it does not present details or strategies of how to operationalize this inclusion[3]. Considering this concern, the World Health Organization has developed the Multiprofessional Patient Safety Curriculum Guide, a multi-professional guide that has strategies to insert the topic of patient safety in the pedagogical proposals of educational institutions. We find information that serves as a design for teachers to reformulate the curricular proposal of the courses[4]
