SUMMARY:

The concern for affirmative actions aimed at quality in hospital services has grown a lot in recent decades. One of the measures that gained strength among researchers and managers in the area, recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO), was the investment in the culture of patient safety (CSP). However, this is not a simple task. The challenges in this field range from the analysis, measurement, evaluation and classification of the type of current culture existing in a system, to the implementation of strategic measures aimed at fostering and strengthening an efficient internal culture. This project aims to analyze the culture of patient safety in a maternity school located in the city of Natal-RN. To this end, searches were started on international sites and databases such as Scopus, CAPES and PubMed to obtain a theoretical basis on the topic of safety culture (CS). The location chosen for the application was the Maternidade Escola Januário Cicco (MEJC). The following research focus groups were defined: Focus Group (1) Health Professionals; Focus Group (2) Managers and leaders, as central characters and approach to the study. In order to operationalize the field research, a contact was made with the Patient Safety Center (NSP), already existing in the maternity ward, which will act as an internal support agent. The research was also authorized by the UFRN Research Ethics Committee, under technical advice nº 29704120.2.0000.5292. The steps for collecting and compiling data and information will be guided by the Systems Engineering Initiative for Patient Safety (SEIPS) Model, which is a model developed to understand the work system and patient safety, from the systems engineering approachFirst (Phase I), the Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture (HSOPSC) questionnaire, developed by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), will be applied in person with a representative sample of the Focus Group (1). This internationally validated instrument is used in research related to hospital safety culture assessments. Subsequently (Phase II), your results will be compiled and organized according to your most relevant topics, a conversation guide will be elaborated and discussed with a sample of the Focus Group (2), through a face-to-face collective meeting with visual exposure of the main points health professionals. At this time, members will have the freedom to put their impressions and experiences on the points raised, as well as justify the results from Phase I. It is also intended to apply the Safety Attitudes Questionnaire (SAQ) to this group, which is an instrument used to measure the patient safety climate in a health unit and includes other relevant points on the topic that the HSOPSC does not address. The data collected in the two moments will be crossed and treated qualitatively so that there is a broader perception on the subject. For the tabulation and treatment of Phase I data, the MS Excel spreadsheet, version 2016, will be used for data organization (percentage calculations, sample characterization and graphic construction). In Phase II, MS PowerPoint will be used to present the points to be discussed at the collective meeting, which will be recorded by audio recording devices for further content analysis. Speechlogge software will be used to convert audios to texts. Phase II will take place inside the maternity facilities. In addition, the Cronbach's alpha coefficient will be tested for the purpose of statistical validation of normality regarding the data obtained through the application of the aforementioned questionnaires. It is hoped that, through this work, it will be possible to assess the patient safety culture (CSP) of the MEJC, classify it according to the type and stage of the safety culture (CS), according to the current bibliography. Also, that the main contributors explained by the components of the respective FGs are identified and analyzed, which hinder the development of a stronger and consolidated CS. It is intended that the results of this project can assist MEJC managers in making the necessary internal decisions, in order to continually improve actions and safety and, therefore, the safety culture of the organization, as, to that end, they continuously use the instruments applied here and their results this research will help to understand the relationship between safety culture, patient safety and ergonomics, both from a theoretical and methodological point of view. From a practical point of view, the results of this research will certainly contribute to understanding the aspects that hinder the development of the safety culture and, consequently, of MEJC's security actions, especially. It will also help, from then on, to establish comparisons with other similar organizations and to encourage further studies of this nature in this type of organization.
