Abstract

The objective was to analyze the scientific findings on nurses’ work in the promotion of surgical patient safety, to identify the risks and appoint solutions to improve care. An integrative review was undertaken in three health databases in January and February 2016. Twenty-eight articles were selected that complied with the inclusion criteria, in three thematic categories: Reflection and Assessment of the care offered to surgical patients, Main errors and weaknesses that put the safety of surgical patients at risk, and Tools and Strategies to favor the quality of patient care and safety. The theme patient safety needs to be discussed better and put in practice, as the development of further research with this approach can contribute to improvements in surgical patient care.
