Main Article Content
Abstract
Patient safety is a priority of health systems worldwide. Through the World Alliance for Patient Safety, the World Health Organization established the objective of preventing adverse events during the attention of persons in health institutions, thus assuring a risk free attention.
The individual in his/her neonatal development is more vulnerable to suffering lesions in his/her hospital stay, and because of this, there is a necessity of having specific safety measures to prevent risks during his/her care. As a result, guidelines proposals related to this group of persons are developed based on the six International Goals for the Patient Safety established by the World Health Organization (WHO).
In the literature search in databases such as Artemisa online, Pubmed, Scielo, Cochrane Plus, several documents referencing safety strategies for neonatal patients were identified; however, it is important to do more nursing research in order to achieve a safe care for this group of patients.
