to evaluate the use of identification wristbands among patients hospitalized in inpatient units.
quantitative, descriptive and transversal research, with a sample of 385 patients. Data collection occurred through the observational method through the filling out of a structured questionnaire which aimed to check the presence of the identification wristband and the identifiers used. Descriptive statistics with absolute and relative frequencies was used for analysis.
it was obtained that 83.9% of the patients were found to have the correctly identified wristband, 11.9% had a wristband with errors, and 4.2% of the patients were without a wristband. The main nonconformities found on the identification wristbands were incomplete name, different registration numbers, illegibility of the data and problems with the physical integrity of the wristbands.
the study demonstrated the professionals' engagement in the process of patient identification, evidencing a high rate of conformity of the wristbands. Furthermore, it contributed to identify elements in the use of wristbands which may be improved for a safe identification process.
评估住院病房患者中识别腕带的使用情况。
采用定量、描述性和横断面研究，样本为385名患者。通过观察法收集数据，即填写一份结构化问卷，旨在检查识别腕带的存在情况以及所使用的标识符。分析采用绝对频率和相对频率的描述性统计方法。
发现83.9%的患者佩戴了识别正确的腕带，11.9%的患者腕带有误，4.2%的患者未佩戴腕带。识别腕带上发现的主要不符合项包括姓名不完整、注册号不同、数据难以辨认以及腕带物理完整性问题。
该研究表明专业人员参与了患者识别过程，证明腕带的符合率较高。此外，它有助于识别腕带使用中可改进的因素，以实现安全的识别过程。
