Objectives: to investigate the association between the scores of the patient safety climate and socio-demographic and professional variables. Methods: an observational, sectional and quantitative study, conducted at a large public teaching hospital. The Safety Attitudes Questionnaire was used, translated and validated for Brazil. Data analysis used the software Statistical Package for Social Sciences. In the bivariate analysis, we used Student's t-test, analysis of variance and Spearman's correlation of (α=0.05). To identify predictors for the safety climate scores, multiple linear regression was used, having the safety climate domain as the main outcome (α=0.01). Results: most participants were women, nursing staff, who worked in direct care to adult patients in critical areas, without a graduate degree and without any other employment. The average and median total score of the instrument corresponded to 61.8 (SD=13.7) and 63.3, respectively. The variable professional performance was found as a factor associated with the safety environment for the domain perception of service management and hospital management (p=0.01). Conclusion: the identification of factors associated with the safety environment permits the construction of strategies for safe practices in the hospitals.

Objectives:to evaluate and classify patients according to the Risk Assessment Scale for Perioperative Pressure Injuries; verify the association between sociodemographic and clinical variables and the risk score; and identify the occurrence of pressure injuries due to surgical positioning. Method:observational, longitudinal, prospective and quantitative study carried out in a teaching hospital with 278 patients submitted to elective surgeries. A sociodemographic and clinical characterization questionnaire and the Risk Assessment Scale for Perioperative Pressure Injuries were used. Descriptive, bivariate and logistic regression analyses were applied. Results:the majority of patients (56.5%) presented a high risk for perioperative pressure injury. Female sex, elderly group, and altered body mass index values were statistically significant (p < 0.05) for a higher risk of pressure injuries. In 77% of the patients, there were perioperative pressure injuries. Conclusion:most of the participants presented a high risk for development of perioperative decubitus ulcers. The female sex, elderly group, and altered body mass index were significant factors for increased risk. The Risk Assessment Scale for Perioperative Pressure Injuries allows the early identification of risk of injury, subsidizing the adoption of preventive strategies to ensure the quality of perioperative care.

Objective to evaluate the effect of relaxation therapy with guided imagery on state anxiety and cortisol in the immediate preoperative period in patients submitted to bariatric surgery by videolaparoscopy.Method a randomized, triple-blind clinical trial in a large teaching hospital in the interior of Minas Gerais. Twenty-four patients who would undergo video-laparoscopic bariatric surgery were randomly allocated in two groups, namely 12 in the control group and 12 in the experimental group. State anxiety was assessed by the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, and blood cortisol levels were measured before and after the intervention or standard care. Descriptive analyzes were used for the quantitative variables and Student’s t-test for independent samples, in the analysis of the differences between the state anxiety scores and cortisol levels.Results the experimental group presented a statistically significant reduction of the state anxiety scores (p = 0.005) as well as of cortisol levels (p <0.001) after the intervention.Conclusion guided imagery relaxation therapy is an effective nursing intervention for the reduction of state anxiety and blood cortisol levels in the preoperative period in patients undergoing video-laparoscopic bariatric surgery.

RESUMOObjetivo: verifi car os fatores associados e o nível de adesão às precauções padrão dos profi ssionais de enfermagem do setor de clínica médica de um hospital de ensino. Método: estudo quantitativo, transversal, analítico, realizado com 54 profi ssionais de enfermagem, por meio da aplicação da Escala Psicométrica de Adesão às Precauções Padrão, traduzida e validada para o português do Brasil. Resultados: o escore global de adesão foi intermediário (4,41); não houve correlação estatisticamente signifi cativa entre adesão e categoria profi ssional (p=0,404) e com o tempo de exercício profi ssional (p= 0,612). Verifi cou-se correlação do item Lava as mãos após a retirada de luvas descartáveis (p=0,026) com profi ssionais com tempo de trabalho, na área, superior a 10 anos. Conclusão: a adesão às medidas de precaução padrão pela equipe de enfermagem foi intermediária, não tendo diferença estatisticamente signifi cativa em relação à categoria profi ssional e ao tempo de exercício profi ssional.

INTRODUCTIONHealth professionals are constantly exposed to risks in their workplace environment, which may have a direct impact on health conditions. Among these professionals, nursing team members are subjected to high-level occupational risks, especially exposure to biological materials. This is related to the direct and indirect support they provide to patients and types and frequency of procedures they perform, exposing them microorganisms present in blood and organic fluids (1)(2) . Regarding biological risks, infections of higher epidemiological relevance are those caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) -which causes the acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) -and hepatitis B (HBV) and C (HCV) (3) . Estimates indicate that around 400 million people, or 5.7% of the world population, have HBV and 180 million have HCV. In addition, by 2012, HIV had infected about 40 million people (4) . When the prevalence of AIDS and hepatitis increases, the risk of occupational contamina...

Resumo OBJETIVO Avaliar a percepção do clima de segurança do paciente pelos profissionais de saúde a partir do Questionário de Atitudes de Segurança e investigar a associação entre os escores e variáveis sociodemográficas e profissionais. MÉTODO Estudo quantitativo realizado com 198 profissionais de saúde de hospital filantrópico de Minas Gerais, entre março e junho de 2017. Utilizou-se instrumento com variáveis sociodemográficas e profissionais e Questionário de Atitudes de Segurança. Realizou-se análise estatística com teste t de Student, correlação de Pearson, Anova e regressão linear múltipla. RESULTADOS Profissionais apresentaram percepção negativa quanto ao clima de segurança do paciente (69,5). Domínio Satisfação no Trabalho obteve maior pontuação (81,98), enquanto Percepção da gerência a pior (62,15). Médicos (p=0,005), homens e profissionais de nível superior (p<0,001) apresentaram melhor percepção de segurança. CONCLUSÃO Identificação de variáveis preditoras é importante ferramenta para implementação de uma cultura de segurança, favorecendo qualidade da assistência e redução de eventos adversos.
