Abstract
Objective: To analyze the influence of the formal curriculum and the hidden curriculum in the understanding of nursing undergraduates on patient safety. Methods: Descriptive and quantitative study, developed in a public higher education institution in the Federal District, Brazil. Official documents and a sample of 51 professors and 58 graduates of the nursing course were consulted. In the analysis of the formal curriculum, the theoretical modules and their respective practical activity manuals were examined, in addition to the Pedagogical Project, the curricular matrix and the summary, using a validated instrument with tracking terms. For the hidden curriculum, an instrument validated by the researchers was used, which addresses 11 specific topics on the subject. To verify the students' understanding, a validated questionnaire was applied to assess the understanding of conceptual and attitudinal aspects of human error and patient safety. Results: Document analysis and the hidden curriculum showed that patient safety topics are addressed irregularly, with some topics being more evident than others, which reflects on the understanding of undergraduates. Conclusion: The training of future professionals on patient safety proved to be disjointed and fragmented, indicating the need for curriculum redesign.
