THE ROLE OF NURSING IN CHRONIC CARE AND ADHERENCE TO SAFETY PROTOCOLS: PERSPECTIVES ON BEHAVIOR IN CLINICAL SETTINGS

Abstract

The present study analyzes the critical role of nursing staff in the care of patients with chronic diseases and its influence on adherence to clinical safety protocols. Through a qualitative-descriptive methodology, behaviors and practices that promote patient safety are identified, as well as common barriers that hinder compliance with these protocols. The findings indicate that the commitment of nursing staff to continuous training, effective communication and collaborative work significantly improves the quality of care and reduces adverse events. A more structured integration of evidence-based practices and monitoring systems within clinical units is proposed.
