| Popis: | The present study aimed to identify the feelings experienced by nursing teams regarding medication errors and the strategies used to prevent them. Exploratory and descriptive study carried out in a hospital in Minas Gerais, Brazil,in2014. Data was collected through semi-structured interviews Semi-structured interviews were conducted with the eleven participants. Four categories emerged from thematic analysis: 1) inadequate conceptualization of error, 2) negative feelings associated to the error, 3) Nurses’ responses to medication errors;and 4) strategies for preventing medication errors. Inability to define error was observed; perception of a feeling of fear not related to punishment; the existence of skills/competences, responsibility and communication in response to error, and the use of barriers and strategies recommended for the prevention of errors. The implementation of continuous awareness of safety as a strategy to improve learning, disseminate assertive behaviors of the professionals and promote actions to mitigate the feelings of those involved in medication errors is suggested. |
