- Abstract
Objective: this study aimed to identify how nurses assess Patient Safety in the medication system through photographic analysis. Methodology: a descriptive and quantitative study conducted in a teaching hospital, with a sample of 34 nurses from inpatient units. Data collection used the photographic method. This study addressed the safety assessment in 10 photographs by choosing a number in a scale from 1 (very unsafe) to 10 (very safe) and data analysis was performed using the Statistical Package for Social Scienses version 20.0. Results: by adapting the scores attributed to the scale, we were able to identify among the photographs: three Totally Unsafe (Level 1), three Unsafe (Level 2), three Partially Safe (Level 3), and one Safe (Level 4). Conclusion: the study highlights the weaknesses in the medication system, which requires that nursing review its work process to prevent errors, basing the care on Patient Safety.
