OBJECTIVE: Analyze if the patient safety culture among professionals in the primary health care differs among health care teams. METHODS: Cross-sectional and quantitative study conducted in April and May 2017, in a city in Southern Brazil. A total of 144 professionals who responded to the questionnaire “Survey on Patient Safety Culture in Primary Health Care” participated in the study. Data were analyzed in the Statistical Analysis Software program and expressed in percentage of positive responses. The ethical principles established for research with human beings were applied. RESULTS: Patient safety culture is positive among 50.81% of the professionals, and the dimensions “your health service” (63.39%) and “patient safety and quality” (61.22%) obtained the highest average of positive responses. Significant differences were found between the family health and oral health teams (α = 0.05 and p < 0.05), in the dimensions “patient safety” (p = 0.0274) and “work at the health service” (p = 0.0058). CONCLUSIONS: We concluded that, although close to the average, patient safety culture among professionals in the Primary Health Care is positive and that there are differences in safety culture between family health and oral health teams in comparison with the primary health care teams.

Practice formularies are part of the government’s GP Indicative Prescribing Scheme. The Department of Health (DH) recommends that they should be locally developed and owned, preferably at the practice level. Their development should be voluntary and so should compliance with them.1 The DH has asked Family Health Service Authorities (FHSAs) to help practices that wish to develop a formulary, acknowledging that it is time-consuming. This help might come from the newly appointed independent FHSA Medical Advisers and from District Pharmaceutical Officers and their staff, especially the drug information pharmacists. Practices may also use the Royal College of General Practitioners’ guide on producing a practice formulary.2 But is it reasonable to expect GPs to devote hours to devising their own formulary? Are the resources needed to support this work likely to be available, and what problems may arise if they are not?

The aim of this study was to analyze the discourse of health managers on aspects related to delay in tuberculosis diagnosis. This was a qualitative research study, conducted with 16 Family Health Unit managers. The empirical data were obtained through semi-structured interviews. The analysis was based on the theoretical framework of the French school of discourse analysis. According to the managers’ statements, the delay in tuberculosis diagnosis is related to patient and health service aspects. As for patient aspects, managers report fear, prejudice and lack of information as factors that may promote a delayed diagnosis. Regarding health service aspects, structural problems and lack of professional skills were reported. The discourse of managers should be considered to qualify tuberculosis control actions and to prevent delays in diagnosis.
