Resumo
Patient safety has been a focus of discussion in recent years, especially the safe use of medication in health institutions. Medication errors are among the most frequent preventable adverse events in hospitalized patients, requiring attention from health professionals and empowerment of those affected by them. An effective measure, considering the patient as the last barrier in preventing errors in the medication system, is to make him an active and empowered member to participate in the decisions and actions related to his care. However, there is relatively little research in this area. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the empowerment of hospitalized patients with regard to their medication safety. METHODOLOGY: This is an exploratory and descriptive research with a quantitative approach, in the rehabilitation and rehabilitation unit in the state of Goiás. Data collection was performed through the application of a questionnaire composed of statements on a 5-point Likert scale, between the months of October to November 2019, with patients admitted to the health unit as participants. RESULTS: Among 48 participating patients, 28 were male, with a mean age of 34 years and a low level of education and income. It is noteworthy that 75.0% of respondents reported trusting those who administer the medication, and 33.3% stated that they never check the medication. DISCUSSION: Given the perception of the participants in this study, it can be seen that few have incorporated active roles in care, especially in the medication administration stage. The patient had gaps in knowledge about the medications he receives at the hospital, he trusts the medication administrator, and his involvement in the care proved to be fragmented and insufficient to ensure his safety, being justified by not understanding the importance of his role. CONCLUSION: Patient empowerment is a strategy for reducing medication errors, however, it still needs ample awareness, dissemination and incentive to significantly increase their involvement and co-responsibility, resulting in an active participation in their care.
