Segurança do Paciente na Atenção Primária à Saúde: uma revisão de escopo

Abstract

ABSTRACT Objective: To identify and map publications related to patient safety in primary health care facilities in emerging and transition countries. Methods: Scoping review, carried out between march and august 2023, in 3 national and international databases, such as PubMed, BVS and SciELO. Data for analysis were extracted into a Google Spreadsheet and then evaluated. Results: The total of 11 articles were selected for analysis from 2015 to 2022, the studies are from emerging countries such as Brazil, Colombia, China and Mexico. The population in the samples was mainly characterized by health professionals. There were two categories of studies approached: adverse events in primary health care facilities and assessment of patient safety culture. Conclusion: The strategies used in primary health care in emerging countries consist mainly of evaluating the perception of health professionals regarding patient safety and the investigation of adverse events, which indicates the absence of public policies aimed at patient safety strategies in primary care and more robust reviews. keywords: Patient safety; primary health care; health evaluation.
