The sample was by convenience, being eight professionals at the Hospital 1 and eighteen professionals at the Hospital 2. Data were collected from direct observation and application of questionnaire and instrument for identifying the factors of risk for medication errors. There were considered significant results with values of p < 0.05 and established confidence index was 95 %.Results: in both hospitals it was verified a profile mostly of nursing technicians (H1 = 100 %; H2 = 94.4 %), female (H1 = 75 %; H2 = 88.1 %) and older than 30 years old (H1 = 75 %; H2 = 61 %). There were observed 899 dose in H1 and H2, resulting in 921 and 648 errors respectively, of which 464 (53.6 %) in the H1 and 118 (24.4 %) in the H2 were directly related to interruptions at work.
