SUMMARY:

For a long time, humanity has created policies that are concerned with infant mortality, due to several reasons: hunger, poverty, health conditions, wars, disasters and epidemics. In the neonatal period, corresponding to the newborn's life cycle up to 28 days, the highest rate of infant death is concentrated, especially in the early neonatal period, which comprises the range of 0 to 6 days of life. At the end of hospitalization, the patient is expected to be fully recovered or in a better state of health, compared to the beginning of hospitalization, but during this period, situations in patient care may occur, which worsen or cause adverse events (AEs). Adverse events are problems generated during the treatment or care process for the patient, which causes some damage to him, which may prolong his hospitalization for treatment, sequel him, incapacitate him or lead him to death. The occurrence of AEs evidences the existence of problems present in the care process, which may result in damage to the patient, family suffering, waste, rework, prolongation of the patient's hospitalization time, increase in the time of clinical or medical intervention, increased demand beds (intermediate and ICU), employees, equipment and exams, increased cost of care, operational financial losses, compromised image of the health establishment, among others. In view of the above, patient safety emerges as a fundamental issue for managers to ensure the efficiency of the management of health facilities and the quality of service. This project aims to carry out an analysis of the activities performed by the nurses of the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (neonatal ICU) of a Brazilian Maternity Hospital, aiming to identify and analyze the contrants present in the activity, the occurrence of AEs and the strategies and regulations undertaken by nurses to avoid or mitigate adverse events and ensure patient safety. Bibliographic, documentary and field research will be carried out. The field research consists of the application of the Ergonomic Analysis of Work (EAW) method with a focus on the activity of nurses during the process of caring for newborns in the neonatal ICU. With this, it is expected to formulate a diagnosis of the activity, with respect to the occurrence of adverse events, and to present indications of improvement in the nursing care of the neonatal ICU, in order to avoid and mitigate adverse events with neonate patients, and to contribute for technical-scientific and methodological knowledge of Ergonomics and patient safety.
