ALMEIDA DA SILVA, Valdenir et al. Notification of incidents related to health care in a teaching hospital. []. , 20, 63, pp.180-220. 02--2021. ISSN 1695-6141. https://dx.doi.org/10.6018/eglobal.450481.
Objective:
Analyzing incidents related to health care in a teaching hospital.
Method:
A quantitative research carried out based on notifications of incidents carried out between 2016 and 2018. The data were processed in STATA version 12.
Results:
The incidence of adverse events was 3.82 per 100 patient-days. The adult hospitalization units were the main notifiers, 57.20%; adult patients, 52.75%; females, 52.9%; blacks, 80.01%; singles, 47.62%; with low or no schooling, 50.91%, were the main ones. The nurses were the main notifiers, 80.38%. Phlebitis, 27.05%; surgeries, 19.20%; and falls, 17.27%, were the most reported incidents, whose damage was classified as mild in 91.52%, but there were three deaths in the period.
Conclusion:
The analysis of incidents allows us to highlight the importance of notifications for the planning and implementation of measures that can contribute to the strengthening of the patient safety culture.
