ABSTRACT Objective: To identify and map the teaching of Patient Safety in nursing. Methods: This is a scoping review. Data collection took place in July 2017, in 15 national and international databases. For data analysis, the following indexes were used: year of publication; country of publication; methodological design; level of evidence; modality of teaching; basic patient safety protocols addressed; teaching strategies used; and content addressed. Results: The sample was made up of eight studies, which were published from 2008 to 2017, mostly originating from the United Kingdom and Canada. Most studies addressed aspects related to the international goals for Patient Safety. Conclusion: It became clear that the teaching of patient safety in the nursing courses has been consolidating, although the number of publications on the subject is still low, and there is a remarkable scarcity of studies that address some themes related to patient safety. INTRODUCTION Patient safety (PS) stands out as a current theme that permeates important debates regarding the quality of health care. Since this theme emerged, and especially after 1999, when the Institute of Medicine (IOM) published the report To Err Is Human, which indicated the high prevalence of avoidable adverse events (AE) during patient assistance, it was shown that the care offered by the health team was going against health promotion [1,2] . Based on this evidence, the World Health Organization (WHO) instituted, in 2004, the World Alliance for Patient Safety, aimed at promotion debates regarding PS, proposing reports, protocols, and goals that promote PS in an effective way in the health services [3] . Also, in addition to documents and standardizations for an effective implementation of the PS in all sectors and levels of health care, it was introduced into the curriculum of health professionals, to train and capacitate them for PS. As a result, they would have the capacity of providing high-quality and harm-free health assistance [2,4] .
