SANTOS, Fernanda Accioly de Lima et al. Patient safety in undergraduate nursing: Students’ perspective. NTQR [online]. 2023, vol.16, e661. Epub 01-Set-2023. ISSN 2184-7770. https://doi.org/10.36367/ntqr.16.2023.e661.
“Patient safety” is an important care factor for all patients and therefore indispensable in the training of all health professionals. Thus, there is a need to assess patient safety in undergraduate nursing in the context of in-person teaching and the curricular stages. Objective: This study proposes to analyze students’ perspective of patient safety at a university in Northeastern Brazil. Methodology: This is an instrumental exploratory single-case study with a qualitative approach. The sample consisted of twelve students selected by convenience. Data collection occurred via an online focus group. The data were processed in NVivo software, version 12.0. Results: The data illustrate the students’ perception of patient safety, divided into three categories: in-person teaching; curricular stages; and attributes for managing future nurses. Although the university does not offer a specific patient safety course, the topic is satisfactorily discussed from the onset of the course. Final considerations: The case study found that health professional training based on patient safety measures is one of the most crucial investments that a university can make, sharpening critical thinking in order to improve care and reduce hospital costs, and above all, preserve life.
