“…This perception of the presence of risk situations for patients associated with nursing practice reflects how training in safety culture can be an instrument that helps identify the presence of avoidable situations along with the subsequent implementation of preventive measures to avoid or reduce the appearance of AE [ 15 , 30 , 39 , 50 ].…”

Healthcare carried out by different health professionals, including nurses, implies the possible appearance of adverse events that affect the safety of the patient and may cause damage to the patient. In clinical practice, it is necessary to have measurement instruments that allow for the evaluation of the presence of these types of events in order to prevent them. This study aims to validate the “Eventos adversos associados às práticas de enfermagem” (EAAPE) scale in Spanish and evaluate its reliability. The validation was carried out through a cross-sectional study with a sample of 337 nursing students from the University of Valencia recruited during the 2018–19 academic year. An exploratory factor analysis was carried out using principal components and varimax rotation. The factor analysis extracted two factors that explained 32.10% of the total variance. Factor 1 explains 22.19% and refers to the “adverse results” of clinical practice (29 items), and factor 2 explains 9.62% and refers to “preventive practices” (24 items). Both factors presented high reliability (Cronbach’s alpha 0.902 and 0.905, respectively). The Spanish version of the EAAPE is valid and reliable for measuring the perception of adverse events associated with nursing practice and the presence of prevention measures.

“…Es importante seguir analizando globalmente la percepción de los estudiantes en la administración segura de medicamentos, ya que los errores de medicación serían el resultado de multitud de factores entre los que se encuentran el error humano y algunas características relacionadas con el sistema sanitario o académico: la disponibilidad de recursos, el entorno, la sobrecarga de cuidados, las distracciones, la ansiedad o la falta de conocimientos, habilidades y supervisión adecuada (9,35,36) .…”

Objective: The purpose of this review was to identify the perceptions of nursing students about the safe administration of medications.Method: Original empirical research that describes a method to incorporate concepts of safety in the administration of medicines in nursing education and examine the perceptions of nursing students for review. A search of four electronic databases (Scopus, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, MedLine / PubMed and Google Scholar), as well as a manual search to identify original research published between 2017 and 2021. Analysis guidelines were adopted (PRISMA) as the preferred reporting element for systematic reviews and meta-analyzes.Results: Twelve original research articles were included for review. Two methods were identified for incorporating safety in the administration of medications in nursing education: process factors or systems in the clinical setting and educational factors in the academic setting. The use of interventions varied, but all focused on analyzing students' experiences to promote skills and knowledge in different settings (academic and clinical). Conclusion: Nursing educators must promote theory and clinical experiences in a comprehensive way so that the student learns and internalizes the attitudes, behaviors and values of the profession with a focus of responsibility in all aspects. The perception and training of students could lead to changes in the way drugs are administered, as well as decrease the rate of adverse events in the future.

Una búsqueda en cuatro bases de datos electrónicas (Scopus, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, MedLine / PubMed y Google Scholar), así como una búsqueda manual para identificar investigaciones originales publicadas entre 2017 y 2021. Se adoptaron las directrices de análisis (PRISMA) como elemento de informe preferido para revisiones sistemáticas y metaanálisis. Resultados: Se incluyeron doce artículos de investigación originales para su revisión. Se identificaron dos métodos para incorporar la seguridad en la administración de medicamentos en la educación de enfermería: factores de proceso o sistemas en el entorno clínico y factores de educación en el entorno académico. El uso de intervenciones varió, pero todas se enfocaron en analizar las experiencias de los estudiantes para promover habilidades y conocimientos en los diferentes entornos (académico y clínico). Conclusión: Los educadores de enfermería deben promover la teoría y las experiencias clínicas de manera integral para que el alumno aprenda e interiorice las actitudes, comportamientos y valores de la profesión con un enfoque de responsabilidad en todos los aspectos. La percepción y formación de los estudiantes podría generar cambios en la forma en que se administran los medicamentos, así como disminuir la tasa de eventos adversos en el futuro.

A percepção e o treinamento dos alunos podem gerar mudanças na forma como os medicamentos são administrados, bem como diminuir o índice de eventos adversos no futuro

“…In Spain, the 2015–2020 Spanish Strategy for Safety and Health at Work was developed, which recommends improving the culture of safety in health organizations and incorporating health risk management tools and training professionals in basic aspects of safety [ 6 ], including those related to the prevention of medication errors (MEs). MEs are difficult to prevent before they reach the patient and can have adverse consequences both in terms of morbidity and mortality [ 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 ]; they are the result of a multitude of factors, including human errors as well as characteristics of the health system or institutions themselves, such as the availability of resources, care overload, distractions, anxiety in professionals, and a lack of standardized protocols for the preparation and administration of medications [ 13 , 14 , 15 ].…”

Patient safety and quality of care are fundamental pillars in the health policies of various governments and international organizations. The purpose of this study is to evaluate nurses’ perceptions on the degree of implementation of a protocol for the standardization of care and to measure its influence on notification of adverse events related to the administration of medications. This comparative study used data obtained from questionnaires completed by 180 nurses from medical and surgical units. Our analyses included analysis of variance and regression models. We observe that the responses changed unevenly over time in each group, finding significant differences in all comparisons. The mean response rating was increased at 6 months in the intervention group, and this level was maintained at 12 months. With the new protocol, a total of 246 adverse events and 481 incidents without harm was reported. Thus, actions such as the use of protocols and event notification systems should be implemented to improve quality of care and patient safety.
