Using realist simulation on safe surgery protocol implementation: an interprofessional report

With the advancement of discussions and practices related to patient safety, with regard to health care in the surgical field, there is a need to systematize and develop training and professional training strategies. In this perspective, the present experience report aims to describe the process of implementing the safe surgery protocol in a hospital, located in the State of Tocantins, Brazil, and to report on a realistic simulation practice used as a teaching-learning strategy in the training of health professionals cheers. The project was elaborated and executed by a team composed of students, preceptors and tutors from an Interprofessional Education through Work for Health Program - PET-Saúde/Interprofissionalidade, and had the hospital's surgical nursing team as a strategic audience. The realistic simulation was developed through the application of a safe surgery checklist, and a briefing with information about the professionals' real workspace, their difficulties and perceptions about the implementation of the protocol. As a result, positive feedback was obtained and the training of the nursing team was carried out, enhancing the proper application of the checklist in the service.
