RESUMEN
A way to promote patient safety is to create strategies that can contain the latent failures present in health organizations, especially in highly complexity services, such as hemodialysis units, which, by the characteristics of the treatment, offer potential risks for the occurrence of adverse events to their patients. The aim of this study was to identify strategies in the literature that contribute to the promotion of patient safety in hemodialysis. Eleven articles were identified, comprising 17 strategies to promote patient safety in hemodialysis, divided into three dimensions of care: teaching, assistance, and management. The category with the most strategies listed was management, with audit the most cited strategy in this category. All strategies found are interrelated and can be used together to optimize patient safety.

OBJECTIVE: To validate the content of the script of an educational video to promote self-care with arteriovenous fistula in chronic renal patients with nurses and social communicators. METHOD: Methodological study that constructed and validated an educational video. Firstly, the demands of self-care were identified through a literature review on self-care with arteriovenous fistula. Then the construction of the video followed the steps of pre-production, production and post-production. The script's content validation occurred in the pre-production phase and counted on 22 nursing judges and media professionals. The study was approved by the Ethics Committee in Research, under opinion 61705516.0.0000.5208. RESULTS: The following items received a negative evaluation from the judges: "The scenes described reflect stereotypes or discrimination" (p = 0.008) and "The pace of the scenes is tiring" (p = 0.001/p = 0.034), "The characters/images are appealing to the audience (p = 0.006), "The illustrations reflect important aspects of subject under study" (p = 0.006), "The illustrations promote the understanding of the video message" (p = 0.001) and "The general structure is creative" (p = 0.001). CONCLUSION: The educational video was considered valid by the nursing judges and media professionals to promote self-care with arteriovenous fistula among renal patients.

BACKGROUND: The Drug-Taking Confidence Questionnaire evaluates a drug user's confidence in his or her ability to resist the urge to consume psychoactive substances in high-risk situations. This study's objective was to develop a cross-cultural adaptation of the eight-item version of the Drug-Taking Confidence Questionnaire (DTCQ-8) for all drugs except alcohol and to verify its content validity and reliability in a pre-test stage. METHODS: The following steps were taken: (1) implementation of the translation protocol and transcultural adaptation, (2) validation of the adapted content, and (3) assessment of reliability. Nine experts participated in the process of adaptation, and the trial's sample comprised 40 drug users in treatment at a Psychosocial Care Center for Alcohol and Other Drugs (CAPSad). RESULTS: The average indices of semantic agreement (0.989; 0.989; 1.00), idiomatic (0.967), experiential (0.956), conceptual (0.978) and content validity with respect to language clarity (0.972), practice relevance (0.958), theoretical relevance (0.958) and theoretical dimension (1.00) showed that the adaption was successful. The mean total score of the DTCQ-8 version for other drugs was 477.00 + 234.27-SD, and 57.5 % of the users were classified as having moderate self-efficacy to resist the urge to use drugs in high-risk situations. The Cronbach's alpha coefficient was 0.889 for the complete instrument and 0.863-0.890 between items. CONCLUSIONS: The DTCQ-8 version for other drugs proved to be easy to use and understand, and its process of adaptation was satisfactory for use in the Brazilian context. In this sample, the questionnaire was adequate to measure users' self-efficacy to resist the urge to consume these substances in high-risk situations.
