Study to identify the knowledge of Nursing
students at a public university in the interior of the State
of São Paulo about patient safety. Quantitative, crosssectional study developed between May and June 2011.
The participants were 118 students regularly enrolled in
the third, four th and fifth year. A self-applied questionnaire
was analyzed with the help of descriptive statistics. The
results indicate that part of the students consider that
nursing care is unsafe and can entail risks. The team’s lack
of preparation is considered a factor that hampers safe
care delivery. In addition, a large part of the students is
unfamiliar with the term adverse event. In conclusion, the
students are able to consider aspects of patient safety and
nurses’ responsibilities to achieve safe care. Nevertheless,
the scope of teaching on this theme needs to be expanded.
