Abstract

Objective: to evaluate patient safety culture from the perspectives of nurses, nursing technicians, and community health agents working in a Family Health Strategy service. Method: =descriptive, cross-sectional study with a quantitative approach included nurses, nursing technicians, and community health agents from a Family Health Strategy service in a health district of Manaus, AM, Brazil, conducted from November 2017 to May 2018. Data were collected using the Brazilian version of the Medical Office Survey on Patient Safety Culture and analyzed using the Chi-square test and analysis of variance. The Institutional Review Board approved the study protocol. Results: Among the 283 participants, “patient care” and “teamwork” were identified as strong, while four were considered weak dimensions. Final Considerations: The findings indicate an adequate patient safety culture from the perspectives of nurses, nursing technicians, and community health agents.
