Objective: to identify the consequences of errors in drug therapy from the point of view of the nursing team. Method: descriptive-exploratory cross-sectional study with a qualitative approach, performed with four nurses, three assistants and 19 nursing technicians. Data collection through semi-structured interviews analyzed through the Bardin Content Analysis. Results: the consequences of errors were considered negative in cases of layoffs, sector change, emotional / moral impact. However, it was demythologized that errors only have negative consequences, because situations such as dialogue, permanent education offer, self-criticism of the worker and better attention in the preparation / administration of the drugs exemplified that the error can be reverted to the improvement of care practices . Conclusion: the results of this study may encourage the implementation of a more consistent safety culture in health institutions, not by personifying the error to those who committed it directly.Downloads
