- The COVID-19 Pandemic and Professional Nursing Practice in the Context of HospitalsPublication . Ribeiro, Olga; Trindade, Letícia de Lima; Pinto Novo, André Filipe Morais Pinto; da Rocha, Carla Gomes da; Sousa, Clemente Neves; Cabral Teles, Paulo João Figueiredo Cabral; Reis, Ana Catarina Rodrigues da Silva; Perondi, Alessandro Rodrigues; Andrigue, Karen Cristina Kades; Pereira, Soraia Cristina de Abreu; Leite, Paula Cristina da Silva; Ventura-Silva, João Miguel AlmeidaThe COVID-19 pandemic has imposed challenges to health systems and institutions, which had to quickly create conditions to meet the growing health needs of the population. Thus, this study aimed to assess the impact of COVID-19 on professional nursing practice environments and to identify the variables that affected their quality. Quantitative, observational study, conducted in 16 Portuguese hospitals, with 1575 nurses. Data were collected using a questionnaire and participants responded to two different moments in time: the pre-pandemic period and after the fourth critical period of COVID-19. The pandemic had a positive impact on the Structure and Outcome components, and a negative trend in the Process component. The variables associated with the qualification of the components and their dimensions were predominantly: work context, the exercise of functions in areas of assistance to COVID-19 patients, length of professional experience and length of experience in the service. The investment in professional practice environments impacted the improvement of organizational factors, supporting the development of nurses’ work towards the quality of care. However, it is necessary to invest in nurses’ participation, involvement and professional qualifications, which are aspects strongly dependent on the institutions’ management strategies
- The impact of nursing practice environments on patient safety culture in primary health care: a scoping review protocolPublication . Pereira, Soraia Cristina de Abreu; Ribeiro, Olga; Fassarella, Cintia Silva; Santos, Eduardo José FerreiraBackground: Patient safety is a key priority for healthcare organisations. It impacts directly on patient health and wellbeing. The increasing complexity of current healthcare settings, which are associated with high work demands and increasingly stressful professional practice environments, contributes to an increased likelihood of errors and adverse events. Primary health care, given its comprehensiveness of care, makes up a large proportion of the care delivered to the population. Aim: To map the knowledge about the impact that nursing practice environments have on safety culture in the primary healthcare setting. This knowledge is essential for a more effective and appropriate understanding of this phenomenon and to enable the definition of strategies that can promote the provision of safer care to the population. Design & setting: A scoping review will be conducted based on the method proposed by the JBI, and the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) will be used. Method: Study selection, data extraction, and synthesis will be performed by two independent reviewers. Based on the Population (or participants), Concept, and Context (PCC) framework, this scoping review will consider studies that address nurses' practice environment and patient safety culture in primary health care. The review will consider all studies, published or unpublished, from 2002 to the present. Conclusion: The results from this scoping review are expected to provide an overview of the importance of the nursing practice environments on patient safety culture, which will be crucial to define an appropriate range of strategies to promote the delivery of the safest health care to the population.
