Knowledge of the preceptor regarding patient safety culture for effective care

Abstract

Objective: Identify scientific productions about the preceptors’ knowledge on the patient’s culture of security through integrative review. Methods: The search happened in thee data bases LILACS, BDEnf and Google Scholar on the period of 2019 to 2023, with the descriptors “Patient’s Security”, “Nursing” and “Prescriptive”. The study sample is built on 14 articles. Results: From the preceptors nurse’s speeches, it’s verified that the student’s presence on the healthcare field generates reflections on these professionals who start to act on their activities in a more attentive way. We found a significant raise on publications in 2023, four (4), making up 28,57%. A raise of 100% compared to previous years (2022-2020) and in 2019 four (4) more articles about the security culture. Amongst the precautionary measures, the preceptors cite nonstop education, hands hygiene and the identification of the patient as a base for security. Final considerations: The patient’s security is a topic in evidence in health institutions, especially in school-hospitals. It’s suggested to amplify the focus of the research to spread the knowledge about the perception of the preceptor as much of patient’s security culture for quality of healthcare.
