Abstract

Objective: To describe the nurses' knowledge regarding hemotherapeutic practices and patient safety in the process. Methods: Descriptive study, with a direct and qualitative approach, with 20 nurses from a medium-sized private hospital in the municipality of Divinópolis, Minas Gerais. It was carried out from August 2018 to September 2018 with the application of a questionnaire. Results: From the analysis of the responses of the research participants, it was possible to create four thematic categories; Transfusion practices: training, updates and forms that assist in blood transfusion; Checking the information needed to perform the transfusions; Monitoring the patient in the transfusion process; Adverse reactions and notification. Conclusion: The study showed professionals aware of the importance of the procedure, but there were flaws in some of the themes, seeing the need for updating, training and further research in the area, in order to seek patient safety and quality of care.
