OBJECTIVE: The understanding of adverse events may simplify the inquiry regarding the quality of nursing care, presuming a foregrounding role in evaluating health services. The aim of the study was to identify adverse events in nursing care in an intensive care unit. METHODS: Data were collected using an appropriate form known as problem-oriented record (POR) over a 10-month period; patients were monitored throughout their intensive care unit stay. RESULTS: Over the study period, 550 adverse events were recorded as follows: 26 concerned the "five rights" related to drug administration; 23 to non-administered medication; 181 to inappropriate medication records; 28 to failure in infusion pump assembly; 17 to not performed inhalation; 8 to incorrect handling of needles and syringes; 53 to not performed nursing procedures; 46 to incorrect handling of therapeutic and diagnostic devices; 37 to alarms/warnings of devices used incorrectly; and 131 to failure in data recording by nurses. CONCLUSION: The occurrence of adverse events in the care given to patients by the nursing team are significant indicators that disclose the quality of nursing care. Therefore, these events should be analyzed to support in-service training of the nursing staff.

OBJECTIVE: This study assessed the role of the nursing staff in pain management and verified the pain experiences of patients undergoing major surgery and receiving postoperative care in the intensive care unit. METHOD: This was a prospective, observational study of postoperative patients who were admitted to the intensive care unit and later discharged to one of the hospital's regular wards. Patients with impaired communication were excluded. All patients signed an informed consent form. Data were collected using a questionnaire of 13 pain-related questions. RESULTS: A total of 167 patients were included, and 69.5% were male. Patient age ranged from 50-59 years, and the intensive care unit stay was one to three days. The majority of the patients (85%) reported no difficulties in expressing their painful symptoms, and the nursing approach in 54.5% of patients was only to recognize the presence or absence of pain. No pain scale was used. The most painful conditions included the surgical wound and bed positioning. CONCLUSION: The nursing team was apparently more concerned with the presence of pain than with its quality, severity or possible painful stimuli. Pain scales were not used, which suggests the need for continued education of the nursing professionals on the manner of approaching their patients and assessing their patients' pain.
