Abstract

Objective: to analyze conditions that determine the production of errors in nursing work. Method: documentary, analytical, qualitative research. Data collected in 19 ethical-disciplinary processes, in the period from 2000 to 2018, whose object of complaint is the error made by nursing workers. The Thematic Content Analysis proposed by Bardin and the Theory of Social Production interpreted by Carlos Matus were used. Results: nursing techniques and auxiliaries are the most reported workers, medication error is the most frequent, job precariousity is a determining condition in the occurrence of errors in the analyzed processes. Final considerations: structural conditions of error production in nursing work predominate, allowing to refute the hegemonic notion in nursing work of error as a moral phenomenon.
