Resumo O estudo que originou este artigo teve como objetivo analisar a cultura de segurança do paciente na atenção primária em saúde de um município de grande porte do estado do Paraná, segundo a categoria profissional. Foi desenvolvido um estudo transversal com trabalhadores da atenção primária, com coleta de dados realizada em 2017, por meio da aplicação de um instrumento autorrespondido denominado Pesquisa sobre Cultura de Segurança do Paciente para Atenção Primária (Medical Office Survey on Patient Safety Culture). Os resultados indicaram que o processo de trabalho no serviço de atuação e apoio dos gestores foram as dimensões da cultura de segurança com avaliação mais fragilizada. De modo geral, houve divergências na percepção da cultura de segurança pelos profissionais de saúde da atenção primária, denotando a importância do planejamento conjunto de estratégias de assistência à saúde. Os técnicos de enfermagem apresentaram maior prevalência de avaliação fragilizada da cultura de segurança do paciente. De forma contrária, os enfermeiros mostraram menor prevalência de avaliação fragilizada sobre a cultura de segurança.
Objective: to characterize patient safety according to the perception of primary health care workers in a large city in Paraná. Method: cross-sectional study, in which information was collected using the "Research on Patient Safety Culture for Primary Care" instrument, which was self-answered by health workers working in primary care, from April to June 2017. The Statistical Package for the Social Sciences program was used for data analysis. Results: it was found that as for the frequency of problems related to patient safety and quality of care, the “medical record/patient record being unavailable when needed” and “patient not getting an appointment within 48 hours was considered as a serious or acute problem”. Regarding the support of managers/administrators/leaders, the overall frequency of positive responses was only 38.4%. The section on global safety assessment showed the highest overall percentage of positive responses (79.0%). Workers in the southern region of the municipality under study had a worse assessment of the work process, communication, monitoring and manager support (45.5%, 61.6% and 29.3% of positive responses, respectively). Conclusion: it is concluded that there is a need to strengthen the culture of patient safety at this level of care, strengthening and valuing the performance of all workers, with the intensification of permanent education and the use of soft technologies.
