- Abstract
Objective: to analyze the adherence to the identification of the patient by hospital wristband by the health team and by the patients. Method: this is a quantitative, descriptive and documentary study. The sample consisted of 137 patients hospitalized in a cardio-intensive unit of a university hospital. Data was collected by completing a structured form, then organized and analyzed using simple descriptive statistics. Results: the presence of the identification wristband was observed in 100% of the patients. Of these, 26% had nonconformities. From the patients' reports, 61% of the professionals did not use the wristband to identify them at the time of the procedures and 90% of the patients were not guided as to the reason and importance of the use of the wristband. Conclusion: the identification of patients was unanimously observed, however, it is necessary, in practice, to increase awareness and training of the multi-professional team for the adequacy as recommended in Goal 1 of Patient Safety.
