Abstract
OBJECTIVES
to analyze the factors that can impact patients' experience concerning safety-related measures in the hospital setting.
METHODS
this qualitative, descriptive, and exploratory study was conducted with patients and their family members at a hospital in southern Brazil. Semi-structured interviews were carried out using the Critical Incident Technique between January and February 2022. The collected data underwent content analysis with the assistance of IRaMuTeQ software.
RESULTS
five patients, four family members, and three patient-family units participated in the study. The following categories emerged: "Patientprofessional interaction as a component of safe care," "Recognition of safety protocols in the patient's experience," and "Safe care and the challenges in hospital care."
CONCLUSIONS
patient-professional interaction, communication, awareness of safety protocols, and the availability of the nursing team are factors that influence patients' experience regarding the safety of their care during hospitalization.
