- Impact of COVID‐19 on professional nursing practice environments and patient safety culturePublication . Ribeiro, Olga; de Lima Trindade, Letícia; Silva Fassarella, Cintia; de Abreu Pereira, Soraia Cristina; Figueiredo Cabral Teles, Paulo João; Gomes da Rocha, Carla; da Silva Leite, Paula Cristina; Almeida Ventura‐Silva, João Miguel; Sousa, Clemente NevesAim: To analyse the impact of COVID-19 on professional nursing practice environments and patient safety culture. Background: The relationship between work environments and patient safety has been internationally recognized. In 2020, the pandemic imposed enormous challenges, yet the impact on these variables remains unknown. Method: This is a quantitative observational study, conducted in a Portuguese hospital, with 403 registered nurses. A self-completion questionnaire was used. Results: The impact on the Structure and Outcome components of nursing professional practice environments was positive. Although the Process component remained favourable to quality of care, a negative trend was confirmed in almost all dimensions. The results regarding safety culture showed weaknesses; ‘teamwork within units’ was the only dimension that maintained a positive culture. Conclusion: Positive responses regarding patient safety were significantly associated with the quality of the nursing professional practice environment. The need to invest in all dimensions of safety culture emerges to promote positive professional environments. Implications for nursing management: Improving professional nursing practice environments can be achieved through managers’ investment in the participation and involvement of nurses in the policies and functioning of institutions, as well as promoting an open, fair and participatory safety culture that encourages reporting events and provides adequate support for professionals.

Objetivo: Analisar as evidências científicas sobre a ocorrência de eventos adversos associados às práticas assistenciais de enfermagem. Métodos: Revisão integrativa com busca nas bases de dados Medline, Embase, Lilacs, Cinahl e Web of Science, a partir dos descritores em ciências da saúde drug-related side effects and adverse reactions, adverse drug reaction, side effects, medication errors, team nursing, nursing care. Resultados: Foram selecionados oito estudos para compor a análise da ocorrência dos eventos adversos na enfermagem. Evidenciaram-se cinco principais eventos adversos associados às práticas de enfermagem, relacionados à medicação, quedas, lesões por pressão, infecções associadas aos cuidados em saúde e perda acidental de dispositivos de saúde. Conclusão: As evidências reconhecem que a maioria dos eventos adversos revelados na busca foram classificados como evitáveis, ou seja, passíveis de prevenção por meio da adoção de medidas mais seguras.
