Introdução: A segurança do doente é uma questão séria de saúde pública global, focada num sistema de prestação de cuidados que previne erros e é construído sobre uma cultura de segurança que envolve todos os profissionais de saúde, organizações e doentes.
Objetivo: Avaliar o nível de literacia dos profissionais de saúde em relação à segurança do doente num centro hospitalar na região central de Portugal.
Métodos: Foi realizado um estudo quantitativo, descritivo-correlacional e transversal para avaliar o nível de literacia dos profissionais de saúde em relação à segurança do doente. Uma amostra de 300 profissionais de um Centro Hospitalar na região central de Portugal respondeu ao "Questionário para Avaliar a Implementação do Guia Multiprofissional" da Organização Mundial de Saúde. A maioria dos profissionais de saúde incluídos no estudo são do sexo feminino (76,3%), encontram-se na faixa etária (dos 36-50 anos) 50,3% e são maioritariamente enfermeiros (90%).
Resultados: 44,0% dos inquiridos demonstraram baixa literacia na dimensão "Erro e segurança do doente". De forma semelhante, 44,7% apresentaram baixa literacia na dimensão "Segurança do Sistema de Saúde". Quanto à dimensão "Influência Pessoal na Segurança", mais de metade da amostra (52,7%) é altamente letrada. Por último, a maioria dos inquiridos mostrou baixa literacia (54,7%) na dimensão "Atitudes Pessoais em relação à Segurança do Doente".
Conclusão: Os resultados apontam existir lacunas por parte dos profissionais de saúde sobre literacia na segurança do doente, com predominância na dimensão "Atitudes Pessoais em Relação à Segurança do Doente". Assim, é essencial que os profissionais de saúde recebam mais formação em segurança do doente para garantir a confiança dos cidadãos nas suas práticas profissionais e na confiança no sistema de saúde.
Introduction: Patient safety is a critical global public health issue, focused on a care delivery system that prevents errors and is built on a safety culture involving all healthcare professionals, organizations, and patients. Objective: To evaluate the level of health professionals' literacy regarding patient safety at a hospital center in the central region of Portugal. Methods: A quantitative, descriptive-correlational, cross-sectional study was carried out to assess the level of patient safety literacy among healthcare professionals. A sample of 300 professionals from a hospital center in central Portugal answered the World Health Organisation's ‘Questionnaire to Evaluate the Implementation of the Multiprofessional Guide.’ Most of the health professionals included in the study were female (76.3%), 50.3% were in the 36-50 age group and the majority were nurses (90%). Results: 44.0% of the respondents demonstrated low literacy in the "Error and Patient Safety" dimension. Similarly, 44.7% exhibited low literacy in the "Health System Safety" dimension. Regarding the "Personal Influence on Safety" dimension, more than half of the sample (52.7%) showed high literacy. Lastly, the majority of respondents displayed low literacy (54.7%) in the "Personal Attitudes towards Patient Safety" dimension. Conclusion: The findings indicate significant gaps in healthcare professionals' literacy concerning patient safety, predominantly in the "Personal Attitudes towards Patient Safety" dimension. Therefore, it is essential that healthcare professionals receive further training in patient safety to ensure the public's trust in their professional practices and confidence in the healthcare system. This translation is tailored for submission to a high-impact Q1 scientific journal, ensuring the use of precise and specialized technical English suitable for an academic audience.
