Segurança no processo de trabalho do bloco cirúrgico

Abstract

Introduction: The object of study of this research is the safety of the work process in the emergency block, focusing on the emergency center and the post-anesthesia recovery room. The salient block prevails at this juncture precisely because it is a high-risk scenario, which is why it demands a dynamic of activities that are different from other hospital sectors. Objective: To identify safety in the work process at the hospital center and post-anesthesia recovery room. Methodology: This is a cross-sectional, descriptive study of a quantitative nature of the Survey type, carried out in two hospitals in a city in northeastern Brazil. The study scenario consisted of two medium and large hospitals characterized as private and/or public. The population served are nurses who work in the emergency center or post-anesthesia recovery room. The sample consisted of a total of 10 nurses. Data collection was carried out from August to November 2022, using an instrument with 39 questions constructed based on the national health surveillance agency, the Ministry of Health and the Brazilian association of nurses at the hospital, anesthetic recovery and material and sterilization. After collection, the data were processed through a descriptive statistical analysis. The research was approved by Plataforma Brasil (CAAE: 5889330.0.0000.5013). Results: All professionals who participated in this research are cis women, average age of 38 years, most marital status are married and average income of 6.5 minimum intervals. The average time for nurses to complete their graduation is 8 years, all of them have a Lato Sensu postgraduate degree. Regarding practices related to safety in care, practices related to updates resulting from the pandemic still cause divergence in most nurses. Conclusion: The study showed good practices by nurses concerned with patient safety culture and hopeful points regarding updating in the work process. To mitigate this impasse, educational public policies were suggested in hospitals according to the reality of each institution.
