Introduction: Using the appropriate terminology in health can help both in scientific studies and in care as it reduces communication failures and thus improves patient safety. A term that emerges in this context is safe care, but it still needs to be further explored. Goals: To analyze the concept of Safe Care under the Walker and Avant method. Methods: Concept analysis developed according to the proposal by Walker and Avant., data collection in December 2019, in theses and dissertations repositories. Scientific productions dealing with the theme were included, available in full electronically. The following variables were extracted: year of publication of the study, country of origin, area of knowledge, academic level, concept, attributes, antecedents, consequents, presented by each thesis and dissertation and empirical references mentioned. The data were analyzed based on the proposal of the Walker and Avant method and similarity analysis. Results: The sample consisted of 21 studies, of which 19 came from Brazil and two from Sweden. The concept of safe care was explicit in 11 studies, however, in the others there were terms that referred to attributes (care and management aspects), antecedents (encouraging world organizations in favor of patient safety) and consequences (reduction of adverse events and improvement of quality of care) of the concept under study. Conclusions: With the contribution of the materials studied, the term safe care is conceptualized as the promotion of health care provided to the patient in an adequate and qualified way, both in practical, technical and social aspects.
