A Scoping Review Protocol to Map Knowledge and Attitudes about Patient Safety among Students in Healthcare Undergraduate Courses.

Patient safety is a global challenge in healthcare, with adverse events representing a significant concern. The integration of patient safety education in undergraduate curricula is crucial in developing a culture of safety and safe practices among future professionals. However, there is a gap in research assessing the levels of knowledge and attitudes about patient safety among undergraduate students in healthcare using validated instruments. This scoping review aims to map the levels of knowledge and attitudes about patient safety among students in healthcare courses, allowing for national and international comparisons. The review will follow the methodological frameworks proposed by the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) for scoping reviews. The search will include published and unpublished studies in six databases, with no date or language restrictions. This scoping review was prospectively registered with the Open Science Framework on 17 July 2024. This scoping review will provide a comprehensive overview of knowledge and attitudes about patient safety among undergraduate students in healthcare, identifying gaps in patient safety education and areas for improvement in curricula. The results may guide teachers in creating teaching strategies to prepare future healthcare professionals, reducing knowledge gaps and improving the quality of care.

Surgical Residents' Perception of Feedback on Their Education: Protocol for a Scoping Review.

BACKGROUND: Feedback is an essential tool for learning and improving performance in any sphere of education, including training of resident physicians. The learner's perception of the feedback they receive is extremely relevant to their learning progress, which must aim at providing qualified care for patients. Studies pertinent to the matter differ substantially with respect to methodology, population, context, and objective, which makes it even more difficult to achieve a clear understanding of the topic. A scoping review on this theme will unequivocally enhance and organize what is already known. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study is to identify and map out data from studies that report surgical residents' perception of the feedback received during their education. METHODS: The review will consider studies on the feedback perception of resident physicians of any surgical specialty and age group, attending any year of residency, regardless of the type of feedback given and the way the perceptions were measured. Primary studies published in English, Spanish, and Portuguese since 2017 will be considered. The search will be carried out in 6 databases and reference lists will also be searched for additional studies. Duplicates will be removed, and 2 independent reviewers will screen the selected studies' titles, abstracts, and full texts. Data extraction will be performed through a tool developed by the researchers. Descriptive statistics and qualitative analysis (content analysis) will be used to analyze the data. A summary of the results will be presented in the form of diagrams, narratives, and tables. RESULTS: The findings of this scoping review were submitted to an indexed journal in July 2024, currently awaiting reviewer approval. The search was executed on March 15, 2024, and resulted in 588 articles. After the exclusion of the duplicate articles and those that did not meet the eligibility criteria as well as the inclusion of articles through a manual search, 13 articles were included in the review. CONCLUSIONS: Conducting a scoping review is the best way to map what is known about a subject. By focusing on the feedback perception more than the feedback itself, the results of this study will surely contribute to gaining a deeper understanding of how to proceed to enhance internal feedback and surgical residents' learning progress.

Resilience as a protective factor to minor mental disorders in the nursing team / La resiliencia como factor protector de los trastornos mentales menores en el equipo de enfermería / Resiliência como fator de proteção aos transtornos mentais menores na equipe de enfermagem

OBJECTIVES: To track the presence of minor mental disorders and levels of resilience in nursing professionals who work in emergency services and inpatient units, as well as to verify possible associations between these variables and sociodemographic and professional characteristics. METHODS: Descriptive, correlational and cross-sectional study consisted of 203 nursing professionals (nurses, nursing technicians, and nursing assistants), from the country side of São Paulo State. Data collection was performed using a sociodemographic and professional characterization instrument and the Brazilian version of the Self-Report Questionnaire (SRQ-20) and the resilience scale. RESULTS: The overall prevalence of minor mental disorders among the participants was 31%, being lower among older professionals and men. The resilience of the professionals was high, with mean values ​​of 136.4 (±20.1) points. Older professionals and those who worked in emergency units had higher resilience scores. Lower resilience scores are associated with a greater possibility of minor mental disorders in this study. CONCLUSION: Resilience can be considered a protective factor against minor mental disorders in nursing professionals. Effective strategies must be taken into account to change this scenario of illness of a significant part of the nursing team.

OBJETIVOS: Realizar un seguimiento de la presencia de trastornos mentales menores, evaluar los niveles de resiliencia de los profesionales de enfermería de los servicios de urgencias y unidades de internación y comprobar las posibles asociaciones entre estas variables y el perfil sociodemográfico y profesional. MÉTODOS: Estudio descriptivo, correlacional y transversal. Participaron 203 profesionales de enfermería (enfermeros, técnicos y auxiliares de enfermería), del interior del estado de São Paulo. La recolección de datos se realizó mediante una herramienta de caracterización sociodemográfica y profesional, el Cuestionario de Autoinforme (SRQ-20) y la escala de resiliencia. RESULTADOS: Prevalencia global de trastornos mentales menor al 31%, menor en profesionales mayores y varones. Alta resiliencia, con valores medios de 136,4 (±20,1) puntos. La edad avanzada y el desempeño en las unidades de emergencia obtuvieron puntajes de resiliencia más altos. Los puntajes de resiliencia más bajos se asocian con una mayor posibilidad de trastornos mentales menores en este estudio. CONCLUSIÓN: La resiliencia puede considerarse un factor protector frente a los trastornos mentales menores en los profesionales de enfermería. Se deben tener en cuenta estrategias efectivas para cambiar este escenario de enfermedad de una parte significativa del equipo de enfermería.

MATERIAL E MÉTODO: Estudo descritivo, correlacional e transversal. Participaram 203 profissionais de enfermagem (enfermeiros, técnicos e auxiliares de enfermagem), do interior do estado de São Paulo. A coleta dos dados foi realizada por meio de instrumento de caracterização sociodemográfica e profissional, o Self-Report Questionnaire (SRQ-20), e da escala de resiliência. RESULTADOS: Prevalência global dos transtornos mentais menores de 31%, menor em profissionais de maior idade e do sexo masculino. Resiliência elevada, com valores médios de 136,4 (±20,1) pontos. Maior idade e atuação em unidades de emergência obtiveram escores mais elevados de resiliência. Menores escores de resiliência estiveram associados a maior possibilidade de transtornos mentais menores neste estudo. CONCLUSÕES: Resiliência pode ser considerada fator de proteção contra os transtornos mentais menores em profissionais de enfermagem. Estratégias efetivas devem ser levadas em conta para mudar esse cenário de adoecimento de parte significativa da equipe de enfermagem.
