Evaluate the patient safety climate from the perspective of the health team members at a medium-sized private hospital in a city in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil and check for relations between the sociodemographic variables and the safety climate scores. This is a descriptive, exploratory and correlational study, conducted with 123 health professionals, with approval from the Research Ethics Committee. Data were collected using the Safety Attitudes Questionnaire. For analysis, we used Student's t-test, analysis of variance and Spearman's correlation (α = 0.05). The general score on the instrument was 67.50. The best domain score was found for job satisfaction (82.79) and the lowest for perceived management (58.90) and working conditions (59.58). No differences were found between the sexes, education level, presence of other employment or professional activities. The safety climate scores observed were lower than the scores recommended in the literature.

There are gaps in knowledge regarding the most efficient support surfaces and the specifications of the products used to prevent pressure ulcers due to surgical positioning.

Objective: to evaluate the quality of the validation process performed in studies that developed simulated clinical scenarios for teaching and learning in nursing. Methods: the researchers conducted two steps: an integrative review in the Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences Literature, Web of Science, SCOPUS, and Educational Resources Information Center databases; and the validation assessment, using the validated tool (Quality Assessment for Validity Studies). Results: 561 studies were identified, six of which comprised the sample, primary, methodological, available electronically and in full. Most showed good validation quality by meeting almost all the criteria required by the tool. Conclusion: the validation of studies on clinical scenarios was able to support reliable evidence for adoption in teaching through simulation in nursing.

Estudo transversal, analítico e quantitativo, que objetivou avaliar o clima de segurança do paciente na perspectiva dos profissionais da equipe de Enfermagem dos setores de Clínica Médica e Cirúrgica. Participaram 52 profissionais. Os dados foram coletados utilizando-se o Safety Attitudes Questionnaire. Para análises foram utilizados os testes t de Student, análise de variância e correlação de Sperman (α= 0,05). O escore geral médio do instrumento foi 66,94 pontos. O domínio com melhor escore foi “percepção da gerência” (84,60) e os domínios com menor escore foram “condições de trabalho” (60,15) e “percepção do estresse” (55,59). Houve diferenças estatisticamente significantes entre os sexos, nível de escolaridade com o domínio Clima de Segurança. Não houve relação entre a atuação profissional, vínculo empregatício e categoria profissional. Observaram-se fragilidades na percepção da equipe em relação ao clima de segurança, o que remete à necessidade de instituição de estratégias para promoção de um ambiente seguro.

Objective: To analyze outcomes and associated factors in ischemic stroke patients submitted to thrombolytic therapy. Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study of ischemic stroke patients submitted to thrombolytic therapy. Comorbidities, neurologic deficits and time of thrombolysis were described. The chi-squared test was used to assess association among comorbidities, time of thrombolysis, and occurrence of hemorrhagic transformation. Results: There was a high frequency of comorbidities. Mean neurological deficit score was 15 points. Mean time window was 98 minutes and needle-to-door time, 89.9 minutes. Hemorrhagic transformation was observed in 20 patients. Bivariate analysis revealed that hemorrhagic transformation was associated with greater neurologic deficit score, atrial fibrillation and heart disease. Neurologic deficit fell from 51% to 12.5% between admission and discharge. Conclusion: Thrombolytic therapy presented positive outcomes, regardless of long thrombolysis time and high neurologic deficit scores. ResumoObjetivo: Analisar desfechos e fatores associados em pacientes com acidente vascular cerebral isquêmico após terapia trombolítica. Métodos: Estudo do tipo coorte retrospectivo de pacientes com acidente vascular cerebral isquêmico submetidos à terapia trombolítica. Foram descritas as comorbidades; os défices neurológicos e os tempos de atendimento. Utilizou-se o teste qui quadrado para associação entre comorbidades, tempos de atendimento e ocorrência de transformação hemorrágica. Resultados: Houve elevada frequência de comorbidades. Défices neurológicos pontuaram média de 15 pontos. A janela de tempo obteve média de 98 minutos e o tempo porta-agulha, 89,8 minutos. Observouse transformação hemorrágica em 20 pacientes. Na análise bivariada, a ocorrência de transformação hemorrágica esteve associada com maior défice neurológico, fibrilação atrial e cardiopatia. Houve redução dos défices neurológicos de 51% para 12,5 entre a admissão e alta. Conclusão: A terapia trombolítica apresentou resultados positivos, apesar de tempos de atendimento elevados e pacientes com défices neurológicos com elevada pontuação.
