Objective: To identify evidence in the literature about the patient safety climate in intensive care units. Method: Integrative literature review, carried out in the CINAHL, LILACS, Medline / PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science and Cochrane library databases, to answer the guiding question: “What is the patient safety climate in intensive care units?”. The search takes place in the months of June 2021, where the following steps were taken: base of the problem; search in the literature of primary studies; evaluation of studies included in the review; data analysis; Results presentation. Publications were published at any time, in Portuguese, English and Spanish. Results: 225 references were identified, of which 25 were included in the review, considering the inclusion and exclusion criteria. In most of the sample, scores below 75% were observed regarding the perception of the safety climate by the health professionals obtained. Conclusion: The identification of low scores in the assessment of the patient's safety climate and the weakness in reporting adverse events, point to the need for greater investment in the safety culture in intensive care units.
