Medication errors and incidents in primary care:revisão integrativa
Abstract
Objective: To identify, in the scientific literature, publications on medication errors and related incidents in primary health care.
Method: An integrative literature review was conducted in the databases Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, Scientific Electronic Library Online and Web of Science. Seventeen articles that met the inclusion criteria were analyzed. For data extraction, the selected articles were read in full.
Results:Of the 17 studies analyzed, seven (41.17%) were indexed in both PubMed and Medline, nine (52.94%) in Web of Science, one (5.9%) in Scielo and none in Cinahl. The studies point to strong evidence in clinical application, most of these show that prescriptions with incorrect drugs, incorrect doses, drug interactions and drug allergies were the main causes of errors with potential for serious harms.
Conclusion:The development of research aimed to identify strategies and interventions for medication errors is still growing. It is known that these studies provide subsidies for the improvement of practices, in addition to providing greater safety in the medication process, in order to reduce preventable adverse events.
