Objective:
to construct and validate an orientation video, based on a low-fidelity clinical simulation scenario, to prevent immunization errors.
Methods:
a methodological study with video construction, validated in two stages by different audiences. Content was selected based on a realistic simulation scenario of the vaccine administration process to a patient-actor. Items with concordance greater than 0.8 and 0.6 were considered valid, verified using the Content Validity Index (CVI) and the Content Validity Ratio (CVR), respectively.
Results:
judges’ CVI had an average of 97.5%, and CVR, 0.9, and health professionals’ CVI, 95.4%, and CVR, 0.8. Successes in administering vaccines were addressed, such as careful reading of labels, double-checking the vaccine, distractions/interruptions and error reporting.
Conclusions:
the video was constructed and validated in terms of content, and can be used in training professionals working in vaccination.

Objectives:
to analyze the incidence of preventable adverse events related to health care in adult patients admitted to public hospitals in Brazil.
Methods:
observational, analytical, retrospective study based on medical records review.
Results:
medical records from 370 patients were evaluated, 58 of whom had at least one adverse event. The incidence of adverse events corresponded to 15.7%. Adverse events were predominantly related to healthcare-related infection (47.1%) and procedures (24.5%). Regarding the adverse event severity, 13.7% were considered mild, 51.0% moderate, and 35.3% severe. 99% of adverse events were classified as preventable. Patients admitted to the emergency room had a 3.73 times higher risk for adverse events.
Conclusions:
this study’s results indicate a high incidence of avoidable adverse events and highlight the need for interventions in care practice.

Objective:
to translate, cross-culturally adapt and validate the Global Trigger Tool surgical module content for Brazil.
Method:
this is methodological research, carried out between March/2018 and February/2019, following the steps of translation, synthesis, back-translation, validation by the Delphi technique, pre-test and presentation to developers. Two translators, two back-translators, six professionals participated in the expert committee. A pre-test was carried out with a retrospective analysis of 244 medical records of adult patients. The content validity index and Cronbach’s alpha were determined for data analysis.
Results:
the translation and cross-cultural adaptation allowed adjustments of items for use in Brazil. The mean Content Validity Index was 1.38, and the degree of agreement among experts was 92.4%. Cronbach’s alpha was 0.83 for the 11 surgical triggers and their guidelines.
Conclusion:
the module was translated, cross-culturally adapted for Brazil, with high reliability to identify surgical adverse events.

Objectives:
to compare pedagogical supervisors’ and clinical supervisors’ perceptions about the errors made by nursing students in clinical clerkship.
Methods:
a qualitative exploratory-descriptive study developed with 105 participants. Data collection was performed with a questionnaire with open-ended questions. Content analysis performed according to the conceptual model of student errors in clinical teaching.
Results:
pedagogical supervisors perceive, in descending order, errors in transversal competencies, in the execution of care and medication. Clinical supervisors perceive, in descending order, the execution of care, medication, and transversal competencies.
Final Considerations:
there was coincidence and complementarity in clinical supervisors’ and pedagogical supervisors’ perceptions, although not in the same order, regarding the errors made. This study presents contributions related to the existing knowledge in relation to medication errors, which are not the most perceived, and those of transversal competencies, which take on a prominent position.

Objective:
to analyze factors associated with nursing students' errors during clinical learning, and their perceptions regarding these events and the opportunity for learning and development provided by them.
Method:
Convergent Mixed Method design according Creswell and Clark. Qualitative dimension included face to face and internet interviews. Data analysis followed Miles and Huberman method.
Results:
Nursing student's errors were revealed according to their perceptions. They occurred in all phases of the nursing process and in transversal skills. Errors were acknowledged as learning and developmental opportunities.
Final considerations:
Students acknowledged their errors and ascribe to themselves reasons and what could have prevented what happened. Mixed Method was a very adequate design to study phenomena. Qualitative dimension was essential to reveal and achieve the objectives. Suggestions founded on the findings are presented.

Objective:
To analyze the errors made by nursing staff workers who faced ethical-disciplinary actions.
Method:
Document, exploratory, quanti-qualitative research. The information was collected in 13 ethical-disciplinary actions of COREN BA, dated from 1995 to 2010, which had as object of complaint an error made by nursing staff workers. The quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and the qualitative data was analyzed using the Human Error Theory and Sociology of Work.
Results:
Nursing technicians and assistants held most actions. The health institution, through the nursing service coordination, was the predominant complainer and the most frequent shift was daytime.
Final considerations:
The errors made by nursing staff workers demonstrate that error-producing conditions are present in the context of their occurrence in all actions, and understaffing and intensity of work are the most recurrent circumstances.
