Patient safety from the perspective of fetal alcohol syndrome: Scoping review
Keywords
Abstract
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to map the effect of Fetal Alcohol Syndrome with a view to patient safety. METHODOLOGY: scoping review, carried out in the Science Direct, Cochrane and CAPES Portal databases. The search resulted in 2,014 publications, of which 30 remained after the selection stages. RESULTS: The highest number of publications was in 2019, with 26.67% of the total, 40% of which were in the USA, 96% of which were in English. It can be mapped that the deficit in the diagnosis of Fetal Alcohol Syndrome and its similar, negatively affects patient safety and modifies social behavior. The complex and heterogeneous nature of the maternal profile and context, culture and historical-social legacy were identified, as they are related to the etiology and epidemiology of the spectrum. CONCLUSIONS: the effective implementation of the various screening and diagnostic tools was listed as urgent, as early childhood is a predictor of a better holistic development of the individual, which minimizes any losses related to the syndrome and patient safety.
