Abstract

The purpose of this study is asses the acceptance of the safety devices in nursing staff after 20 months of implementation in general hospital and compare the results with pilot study before implementation. A descriptive study was conducted in 5 hospital services: Nephrology, Internal Medicine, Infectous Diseases Service, Intensive Care and General Surgery. The questionnaire includes following variables: user safety, comfort and ease of use, time to maneuver and patient safety of the five devices, intramuscular needle, needle subcutaneous, syringe of gas, intravenous catheters and needle of dialysis; overall assessment of the importance of widespread use of devices and the need for more information. 62% of respondents consider import the widespread use of devices. After 20 months of implementation, the acceptance of the devices among nursing staff appeared to be higher, even these differences are not statistically significant. It is necessary to increase the study period and strengthening the information/ training measures as they contribute to their greater acceptance, the frequency of use and the information received.
