Abstract

RUEDA MARTINEZ, Gabriela. FOR A CULTURE OF SAFETY IN DENTAL SCHOOLS. pers.bioét. [online]. 2024, vol.28, n.1, e2816.  Epub July 19, 2024. ISSN 0123-3122.  https://doi.org/10.5294/pebi.2024.28.1.6.

It is necessary to theoretically substantiate the inclusion of the culture of patient safety in the curricula of dental schools to promote behaviors and actions in line with the right to safe and quality health care. This is a narrative review investigation of the scientific literature based on Latin American bioethics and the human rights of patients. The interpretations are based on a content analysis of the articles and presented per the legislation on the human rights of patients and the dental curriculum. Safety culture is an intervention that promotes experiences to consolidate values and knowledge; it also requires strategies that focus on its adoption by all actors, starting from the student-patient-teacher relationship.

Keywords : safety culture; patient safety; odontology schools; odontology education; bioethics; curriculum.
