Changes in Patient Safety Knowledge During Undergraduate Nursing Education: A Scoping Review Protocol.

Background/objectives: Patient safety is a critical component of healthcare quality, yet there remains a significant gap in understanding how patient safety knowledge progresses among nursing students throughout their educational journey. This scoping review aims to map and analyze the existing literature on the development of patient safety knowledge in undergraduate nursing education.

Methods: This study will follow the Joanna Briggs Institute methodology for scoping reviews and adhere to the PRISMA-ScR (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses-Scoping Reviews) guidelines.

Critical care nursing service costs: Comparison of the top-down versus bottom-up micro-costing approach in Brazil.

Aim: To estimate the nursing service costs using a top-down micro-costing approach and to compare it with a bottom-up micro-costing approach.

Background: Accurate data of nursing cost can contribute to reliable resource management.

Method: We employed a retrospective cohort design in an adult intensive care unit in São Paulo.

[Organizational structure of nursing services: reflections on the influence of the organizational power and culture].

This study addresses the culture and power influencing the organizational structure of the nursing services at a teaching hospital. The Nursing Service organizational structure (organization chart) was outlined due to the need of the general management of the hospital to standardize the nursing procedures. Due to this situation, the nursing managers' interest has arisen to widen the power setting, strengthening nursing in an intra-institutional environment.
