ABSTRACT Qualitative, exploratory-descriptive study. The aim of this study was to discover how nursing professionals perceive the communication during shift handover and its repercussion in pediatric patient safety. This study was performed at a Pediatric Inpatient Unit of a University Hospital in the South of Brazil. Data was collected by a semi-structured interview, involving 32 nursing professionals. To analyze the data, thematic analysis was used. Data was grouped in categories: shift handover and its interface with communication. The results evidenced the importance of shift handover, in which effective communication is essential for safe care. However, greater objectivity is needed in the information transmission, the time used needs to be reduced and the shift handover records need to be systemized.

Safe Care

Medication management is a complex and mentally demanding endeavor performed by multiple individuals in diverse settings and at variable points in time. Achieving the goal of safe care delivery with optimized patient outcomes requires ongoing communication, coordination, and interaction between an array of technologies and roles across the health care continuum. Human factors principles and methods have the potential to substantially improve patient safety throughout this high-risk cycle. The purpose of this interactive discussion panel is to explore the medication management process from a sociotechnical perspective to identify specific challenges and vulnerabilities, and recommend strategies that leverage human factors processes and design principles to efficiently and effectively address safety critical issues.

Safe Care

BackgroundUnlike some other safety critical professions, there is no mandatory age of retirement for doctors, including surgeons. Medical regulators in Australia are implementing additional checks on doctors from the age of 70. We describe expert opinions on assuring performance and supporting career transitions among older surgeons.MethodsIn this qualitative study, experts in four countries were purposively selected for their expertise in surgical governance. Experts responded to interviews (Australia, New Zealand and UK) or a survey (Canada). A tiered framework of interventions was developed by integrating findings with previous literature and responsive regulation theory.Results52 experts participated. Participants valued the contribution of senior surgeons, while acknowledging that age-related changes can affect performance. Participants perceived that identity, relationships and finances influence retirement decisions. Experts were divided on the need for age-specific testing, with some favouring whole-of-career approaches to assuring safe care. A lack of validated tools for assessing performance of older surgeons was highlighted. Participants identified three options for addressing performance concerns—remediate, restrict or retire—and emphasised the need for co-ordinated and timely responses.ConclusionExperts perceive the need for a staged approach to assessing the performance of older surgeons and tailoring interventions. Most older surgeons are seen to make decisions around career transitions with self-awareness and concern for patient safety. Some older surgeons may benefit from additional guidance and support from employers and professional colleges. A few poorly performing older surgeons, who are recalcitrant or lack insight, require regulatory action to protect patient safety. Developing robust processes to assess performance, remediate deficits and adjust scopes of practice could help to support safe career transitions at any age.

Background: Increasing pressure on emergency services has led to the development of different models of care delivery including GPs working in or alongside emergency departments (EDs), but with a lack of evidence for patient safety outcomes. Aim: We aimed to explore how care processes work and how patient safety incidents associated with GPs working in ED settings may be mitigated. Design and Setting: We used realist methodology with a purposive sample of 13 EDs with different GP service models. We sought to understand the relationship between contexts, mechanisms and outcomes to develop theories about how and why patient safety incidents may occur, and how safe care was perceived to be delivered. Method: We collected qualitative data (observations, semi-structured audio-recorded staff interviews and local patient safety incident reports). We coded data using ‘if, then, because’ statements to refine initial theories developed from an earlier rapid realist literature review and analysis of a sample of national patient safety incident reports. Results: We developed a programme theory to describe how safe patient care was perceived to be delivered in these service models including: an experienced streaming nurse using local guidance and early warning scores; support for GPs’ clinical decision-making with clear governance processes relevant to the intended role (traditional GP approach or emergency medicine approach); and strong clinical leadership to promote teamwork and improve communication between services. Conclusion: Our findings can be used as a focus for more in-depth human factors investigations to optimise work conditions in this complex care delivery setting.

Penyakit infeksi masih merupakan salah satu masalah kesehatan di dunia, termasuk Indonesia. Mencegah atau membatasi penularan infeksi di sarana pelayanan kesehatan memerlukan penerapan prosedur dan protokol yang disebut sebagai "pengendalian". Perawat berperan penting sebagai pemutus rantai infeksi untuk menurunkan angka kejadian infeksi yang didapat di rumah sakit (HAIs). Hand hygiene adalah istilah yang digunakan untuk mencuci tangan. Pada tahun (2009), Worrld Health Organization (WHO) mencetuskan global patient safety challage dengan clean care is safe care, yaitu merumuskan inovasi strategi penerapan hand hygiene, yaitu untuk petugas kesehatan dengan my five moment for hygiene, yaitu melakukan cuci tangan sebelum bersentuhan dengan pasien, sebelum melakukan prosedur bersih dan steril, setelah bersentuhan dengan cairan tubuh pasien, setellah bersentuhan atau kontak dengan pasien, setelah bersentuhan dengan lingkungan sekitar pasien.

ABSTRACT Objective: To know the perception of nursing professionals about the essential aspects to provide safe care to polytraumatized patients in emergency services. Method: Descriptive and mixed study, performed with a focus group and projective techniques. The sample was made of seven nursing professionals. Data analysis took place through the Interface de R pour Analyses Multidimensionnelles de Textes et de Questionneires and SPSS 22.0 softwares. Results: Based on the analysis of participants’ speeches, three content partitions emerged in the Descending Hierarchical Classification. 1) Structure: need for changes; 2) The process: safe actions by the nursing team; and 3) Care free from damage as the sought result. Conclusion: Patient safety in emergency situations must rely on a proper environment and an organized sector, good conditions to transport patients, use of routines and protocols, identification and organization of the beds.
