Evaluación de la normalización de la preparación prequirúrgica en una red regional de hospitales

A infecção do sítio cirúrgico é evento adverso, possível de prevenir mediante a implementação de boas práticas de preparação pré-cirúrgica. Este estudo teve por objetivo descrever a existência e qualidade da protocolização da preparação pré-cirúrgica em uma rede regional de hospitais públicos de Múrcia, Espanha. Avaliou-se o indicador Existência de protocolo/norma de preparação pré-cirúrgica, analisando-se a qualidade formal (atributos) e de conteúdo (presença de recomendações baseadas em evidência) dos documentos existentes. Sete (de nove) hospitais comprovaram que tinham protocolos de preparação pré-cirúrgica. Identificaram-se oportunidades de melhoria da qualidade formal e de conteúdo dos protocolos. As recomendações sobre assepsia estavam incompletas na maioria dos documentos, e aquelas de eliminação do pelo mostraram-se contrárias à evidência. A preparação pré-cirúrgica está protocolizada na maioria dos hospitais, mas a qualidade dos protocolos é deficiente, assim como a padronização das práticas baseadas em evidência.La infección del sitio quirúrgico es un evento adverso prevenible mediante la implementación de buenas prácticas de preparación prequirúrgica.

Implementation of good practices for correct surgical-site preparation can contribute to lessen this safety problem. The objective of this study was to describe the presence and quality of protocols on surgical-site preparation in the Murcia (Spain) regional network of public hospitals. The indicator "existence of protocol for surgical-site preparation" was assessed, as well as the formal quality (expected attributes) and contents (compared to current evidence-based recommendations) of existing documents. Seven of the nine hospitals have a protocol for surgical-site preparation. Opportunities to improve have been identified in relation to the protocols' formal quality and contents. Recommendations related to skin asepsis are incomplete and those related to hair removal contradict existing evidence. Most hospitals have protocols for surgical-site preparation; however, there is great room for improvement, in relation to their expected attributes and to the inclusion of evidence-based recommendations

Inspeção de boas práticas de gestão de riscos em serviços de saúde

Este livro é produto de um projeto acadêmico da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte (UFRN), em colaboração com a Agência Nacional de Vigilância Sanitária (ANVISA) e financiamento da Organização Pan-Americana da Saúde (OPAS). O conteúdo compõe o material didático do curso de Inspeção de Boas Práticas de Gestão de Riscos em Serviços de Saúde, cujo objetivo é capacitar trabalhadores da vigilância sanitária de serviços de saúde para a inspeção de práticas de gestão de riscos assistenciais, exigidas na regulamentação sanitária vigente no Brasil. O livro abrange desde a justificativa de atividades sistemáticas de redução de riscos clínico-assistenciais em serviços de saúde, até a análise crítica de estruturas e processos fundamentais da gestão de riscos e da gestão da qualidade com foco na segurança do paciente, finalizando com recomendações para a inspeção racional dessas práticas. Baseado na fundamentação teórica apresentada no livro, o Apêndice A apresenta o Questionário AGRASS, um instrumento original para avaliar a implantação da gestão de riscos em serviços de saúde

Cultura de seguridad del paciente y factores asociados en una red de hospitales públicos españoles Cultura de segurança do paciente e fatores associados em uma rede de hospitais públicos espanhóis Patient safety culture and related factors in a network of Spanish public hospitals

Este estudio objetivó describir la Cultura de Seguridad del Paciente (CSP) en una red de hospitales públicos, según las percepciones de los profesionales sanitarios, y analizar la asociación de factores sociolaborales. Se realizó una encuesta a 1.113 profesionales de ocho hospitales españoles, a través de un cuestionario con 12 dimensiones de la CSP. Las percepciones se describen mediante los Porcentajes de Respuestas Positivas (PRP) y Negativas (PRN) a cada dimensión, y se analiza la asociación de factores con regresión lineal múltiple. La dimensión "trabajo en equipo en la unidad" se destacó con el mayor PRP (73,5) y "dotación de personal" con el mayor PRN (61). Los factores más asociados a la CSP (p O estudo teve como objetivo descrever a Cultura de Segurança do Paciente (CSP) em uma rede de hospitais públicos, na percepção dos profissionais da saúde, e analisar a associação de fatores sociolaborais. Foi realizada uma pesquisa junto a 1.113 profissionais de oito hospitais espanhóis, através de um questionário com 12 dimensões da CSP. As percepções são descritas através dos porcentuais de respostas positivas (PRP) e negativas (PRN), em cada dimensão, e é analisada a associação de fatores com regressão linear múltipla. A dimensão "trabalho em equipe na unidade" se destacou, com o maior PRP (73,5) e "dotação em pessoal" com o maior PRN (61). Os fatores mais associados à CSP (p The objectives were to describe Patient Safety Culture (PSC) in a regional network of public hospitals, according to the perceptions of health professionals, and analyze the influence of socio-professional factors. A survey was conducted with 1,113 professionals from eight Spanish hospitals, using a questionnaire that explores 12 dimensions of PSC. Perceptions were described through the Percentage of Positive (PPR) and Negative Responses (PNR) by dimension, and the association of factors was analyzed using multivariate linear regression. The dimension "Teamwork within the same Unit" had the highest PPR (73.5), and "Staffing" the highest PNR (61). The variables "Service" (Pharmacy, Surgical Center) and "Profession" (Nurses) were significantly associated to positive assessments. Thus, strategies to improve PSC should prioritize rational distribution of human resources, and take advantage of the positive perceived relationship within Units. Moreover, pharmaceutical and surgical services, as well as nurses should probably be benchmarked by other services and professionals

Assessment of protocols for surgical-site preparation in a regional network of hospitals

Surgical-site infection is a preventable adverse event. Implementation of good practices for correct surgical-site preparation can contribute to lessen this safety problem. The objective of this study was to describe the presence and quality of protocols on surgical-site preparation in the Murcia (Spain) regional network of public hospitals. The indicator "existence of protocol for surgical-site preparation" was assessed, as well as the formal quality (expected attributes) and contents (compared to current evidence-based recommendations) of existing documents. Seven of the nine hospitals have a protocol for surgical-site preparation. Opportunities to improve have been identified in relation to the protocols' formal quality and contents. Recommendations related to skin asepsis are incomplete and those related to hair removal contradict existing evidence. Most hospitals have protocols for surgical-site preparation; however, there is great room for improvement, in relation to their expected attributes and to the inclusion of evidence-based recommendations

Motivational drivers for health professionals in a large quality improvement collaborative project in Brazil: a qualitative study

Abstract Background The success of collaborative quality improvement (QI) projects in healthcare depends on the context and engagement of health teams; however, the factors that modulate teams’ motivation to participate in these projects are still unclear. The objective of the current study was to explore the barriers to and facilitators of motivation; the perspective was health professionals in a large project aiming to implement evidence-based infection prevention practices in intensive care units of Brazilian hospitals. Methods This qualitative study was based on content analysis of semistructured in-depth interviews held with health professionals who participated in a collaborative QI project named “Improving patient safety on a large scale in Brazil”. In accordance with the principle of saturation, we selected a final sample of 12 hospitals located throughout the five regions of Brazil that have implemented QI; then, we conducted videoconference interviews with 28 health professionals from those hospitals. We encoded the interview data with NVivo software, and the interrelations among the data were assessed with the COM-B model. Results The key barriers identified were belief that improvement increases workload, lack of knowledge about quality improvement, resistance to change, minimal involvement of physicians, lack of supplies, lack support from senior managers and work overload. The primary driver of motivation was tangible outcomes, as evidenced by a decrease in infections. Additionally, factors such as the active participation of senior managers, teamwork, learning in practice and understanding the reason for changes played significant roles in fostering motivation. Conclusion The motivation of health professionals to participate in collaborative QI projects is driven by a variety of barriers and facilitators. The interactions between the senior manager, quality improvement teams, and healthcare professionals generate attitudes that modulate motivation. Thus, these aspects should be considered during the implementation of such projects. Future research could explore the cost-effectiveness of motivational approaches
