Objectives:
to assess patient safety culture during the COVID-19 pandemic and identify the dimensions that need to be improved in hospital settings and which sector, open or closed, direct or indirect care, exhibits a higher level of safety culture.
Methods:
a descriptive and cross-sectional study. The validated version for Brazil of the Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture instrument was applied to assess patient safety culture. Those dimensions with 75% positive responses were considered strengthened.
Results:
all dimensions presented results lower than 75% of positive responses. Closed sectors showed a stronger safety culture compared to open ones. Indirect care sectors had a low general perception of patient safety when compared to direct care sectors.
Conclusions:
with the pandemic, points of weakness became even more evident, requiring attention and incisive interventions from the institution’s leaders.

Objectives:
To compare care necessities as perceived by the patient and nursing team and to investigate the sociodemographic factors associated with these perceptions.
Method:
A comparative study was conducted in units and hospitalized patients of a hospital institution in the state of São Paulo. The participants comprised 100 health professionals (50 nurses and 50 nursing technicians and auxiliaries) and 50 patients. A questionnaire was constructed and validated regarding care needs and was completed by the participants.
Results:
Considering cut-off value kappa ≥ 0.61, or that is, good and very good intervals, the greatest agreement between the perception of the patients and the nursing team was in the areas of: Care and Communication, both with 92.6% agreement; followed by Basic Care with 74.1%. The lowest value was found in the field of Care Planning and Organization, 64.3%.
Conclusion:
In a general manner, there was an agreement between the care needs from the view of the patients themselves and the nursing team.
