Objectives: to identify the errors in daily intensive nursing care and analyze them according to the theory of human error. Method: quantitative, descriptive and exploratory study, undertaken at the Intensive Care Center of a hospital in the Brazilian Sentinel Hospital Network. The participants were 36 professionals from the nursing team. The data were collected through semistructured interviews, observation and lexical analysis in the software ALCESTE®. Results: human error in nursing care can be related to the approach of the system, through active faults and latent conditions. The active faults are represented by the errors in medication administration and not raising the bedside rails. The latent conditions can be related to the communication difficulties in the multiprofessional team, lack of standards and institutional routines and absence of material resources. Conclusion: the errors identified interfere in nursing care and the clients’ recovery and can cause damage. Nevertheless, they are treated as common events inherent in daily practice. The need to acknowledge these events is emphasized, stimulating the safety culture at the institution.
Objective: to understand the meaning of the Adult Intensive Care Unit environment of care,
experienced by professionals working in this unit, managers, patients, families and professional
support services, as well as build a theoretical model about the Adult Intensive Care Unit
environment of care. Method: Grounded Theory, both for the collection and for data analysis.
Based on theoretical sampling, we carried out 39 in-depth interviews semi-structured from
three different Adult Intensive Care Units. Results: built up the so-called substantive theory
“Sustaining life in the complex environment of care in the Intensive Care Unit”. It was bounded
by eight categories: “caring and continuously monitoring the patient” and “using appropriate
and differentiated technology” (causal conditions); “Providing a suitable environment” and
“having relatives with concern” (context); “Mediating facilities and difficulties” (intervenienting
conditions); “Organizing the environment and managing the dynamics of the unit” (strategy)
and “finding it difficult to accept and deal with death” (consequences). Conclusion: confirmed
the thesis that “the care environment in the Intensive Care Unit is a living environment, dynamic
and complex that sustains the life of her hospitalized patients”.
