Patient safety in perioperative nursing care and nursing taxonomies

Abstract

Objective: to analyze the strategies of the surgical safety checklist proposed by the World Health Organization and identify the nursing taxonomies, as input to a model for recording and operationalizing the Systematization of Perioperative Nursing Care (SAEP). Method: this methodological study aimed to identify the links with nursing taxonomies through the SAEP. The main terms of the surgical safety checklist were listed, and the nursing taxonomies, NANDA-International nursing diagnoses, classification of nursing outcomes and interventions were consulted. Results: a model was developed for recording and operationalizing the SAEP as applied to patient safety in perioperative nursing care, by each phase in a normal surgical procedure flow. Conclusion: the proposed model for SAEP, considered the NANDA-I, NOC, and NIC taxonomies, which will help nurses in clinical reasoning when evaluating and implementing measures to prevent incidents.
