The incessant search if nurse for qualify nursing care makes the Nursing Assistance Systematization, a current topic of discussion throughout the country, not only in order to comply the legal requirements of their practice, but especially by the expected benefits of its application. In this meaning, this research had a qualitative approach, developed for a way of research-action. The general purpose was to analyze the change in the nursing practices in a pediatric teaching hospital, based on construction and implementation of Nursing Assistance Systematization by the nursing team. The results had the thematic analysis of Paulo Freire and were shown in the form of reports. To achieve these purposes, it began by steps pre-trial, to review the charts of the institution and an approach with the managers. In the situational diagnosis of nursing practices without the systematization followed by applying a questionnaire with a nursing team and a focal group with nurses. These ways supported the implementation stage of the Nursing Assistance Systematization which developed actions associate such as focal group with the nurses about the nursing history, capacity with the nursing team about the Nursing Assistance Systematization, development, application and reworking of printed, and discussions in the small groups. The evaluations of the changes after the actions of the research occurred through individual interview with the nurses, to check the results. The charts review confirmed the deficit in the records performed by the nurse on the chart, which reinforced the need for implementation of Nursing Assistance Systematization, an argument used on the meeting with the managers, who promptly agree with the search. The questionnaire and the focal group with the nurses reveal a process of nursing work without systematization, showing gaps in practices, but also obtained relate of expectations of improvements in quality of care as of Nursing Assistance Systematization, furnishing data to the development of ways following-up. The prints were gradually used and modified as the team understood the Nursing Assistance Systematization and its purposes through capacity course. The final evaluation pointed to the partial implementation of the stages of Nursing Assistance Systematization had been institutionalized at the history and the development of nursing, beyond difficulties with diagnosis and prescription of nursing, in later representing a paradigm shift. This search collaborated to change the view about the Nursing Assistance Systematization by nursing team at the institution had been revealed through introduction of new practices in the process of nursing work, as examination of physical exam of the patient, the interview in the admission of customers on service and the daily monitoring by nursing through development of nursing. Before addition, it was noted which the purposes of this search were achieved, since were analyzed the changes in the nursing practices with the systematization. The research-action achieved proposes of the involvement of nursing team in changing their practices. This search contributed to the implementation of the Nursing Assistance Systematization in a pediatric teaching hospital and showed which is possible to seek resolution of problems when the objective is of the group and gave access for further searches within this theme

In recent decades, the search for quality care has been widely discussed by the institutions and health professionals. In this context, it is the nurse coordinator of the process of providing nursing staff, reflecting the commitment to quality of care. In this process, it is the appearance of Infections Related to health care and its potential association with the workload in nursing as a valuable indicator of quality of care. Thus, this research contributes to studies to characterize the demand of nursing work to promote a safe healthcare practice. This study aimed to identify the association of nursing workload with the number of cases of Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia, urinary tract infection and central venous catheter infection in the intensive care unit. This is a quantitative research approach, descriptive, cross-sectional and prospective, held at Unimed Hospital in Natal-RN. The study population consisted of all patients treated in the Intensive Care Unit, Hospital for a period of 90 consecutive days in 2011. The convenience sample was compostapelos patients admitted to the ICU during the period of data collection, a total sample of 286 patients. To perform the data analysis software were used: Statistica 6.0, SPPS (Statistical Package for Social Sciences) version 17.0 (2004) and Excel 2007. In the descriptive analysis, we used Measures of Central Tendency and Measures of Dispersion or Variability and the use of nonparametric tests. Of the 286 patients, 88 were from the ICU and 198 ICU II II. Males predominated in the ICU I (51.1%) and female ICU II (57.6%) patients in the ICU I were aged 61-80 years (39.8%) followed by greater than 80 years (39.8%). In the ICU II, most of the patients were aged 61-80 years (38.9%) and then from 41 to 60 years (24.2%). In relation to the class of TISS inlet predominant class II in the two ICUs (59.1%), followed by Class III also in the two units (34.6%). Most patients (70.6%) out of the ICUs belonging to class II TISS. In the ICU I, the average number of forms of the TISS 28 was 6, has in ICU II this value drops to 3.2 forms. The overall mean was 19.9 TISS points in ICU patients I and ICU II.the 17 points in the average hours required to provide adequate nursing care to patients in the ICU I found that is 10 , 7 hours, and the ICU II 9.2 hours. It was found that the time provided by the nursing staff were higher in ICU II, with an average of 19 hours available for nurses in this sector. In the ICU I, which showed higher need of available hours, it was found that the mean value of 12.7 available hours. It was found that only 2.4% of patients had these units Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia, 1.0% were infected central venous catheter and 1.4% of patients had urinary tract infection. Infection associated with health care occurs, on average, on the tenth day of hospitalization. In the ICU II, this average value extends to the twelfth day with an excess of 2.7 hours of nursing care while in ICU I value decays to the ninth day of hospitalization with a deficiency of 12-hour assistance. It is concluded that patients generally showed a need for classification of semi-intensive care and has been assisted in their need to load. As for his association with the Related Infections Health will assist this analysis could not be performed due to the small number of notifications in this period. It is suggested further study how other factors related to infections me a longer period of analysis

The present study aims to analyze the nurse s work process at Family Health Strategy, considering its basic elements and dynamic, and searching to identify aspects that may constitute strengths and weaknesses in its development. This is an analytical case study, with qualitative approach and theoretical-conceptual mark grounded in Dialectic Hermeneutics. Empirical research fields were the Family Health Units of Natal, RN, Brazil. The subjects are nurses working in this Strategy. Data collection was conducted through semi-structured individual interviews combined with field observation. The research was initiated after approval by the Ethics Committee of Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, according to the guidelines and rules for research involving humans (Resolution 466/12), ensuring proper ethical precepts. The project was approved by register number 398.929, CAAE 19588813.7.0000.5537. From the 9 interviewed nurses, 8 were female and 1 male, average age of 52 years, average graduation time of 27 years and average time they stayed at the same Family Health territory of 7 years. It was found that it is up to the professional nurse in the Family Health care the important role of taking care of human beings in their life, family and community contexts, producing conditions to meet their needs through therapeutic act in health, using for such purpose both materials and immaterial instruments. It was possible to relate aspects that characterize strengths and weaknesses in the work process of nurses in the ESF, according to the speech of the interviewed workers, including the meanings and contradictions. Among the potentialities observed, it was possible to highlight the wide role of the nurse at Family Health; the perception of nurses about teamwork; the relative autonomy of nurses; the commitment of professionals to work; Humanization as a technology; the presence of other agents at work, such as directors and officers at the primary health units; the professional s experience time and contract type in the case studied. As weaknesses in the work process of nurses at Family Health Strategy, were highlighted the limited skills of the workforce; the difficulty in 10 identifying specific limits of the work of nurses in this scenario; the disturbances that occur in the process, the existing gaps in multiprofessional teams; Structural deficits of the units in the studied case, the low coverage of the Family Health in the county, and the political vulnerability of the work conditions. It is considered necessary to understand the dilemmas experienced in everyday life of nurses at Family Health Strategy as part of multiprofessional teams, facing actual achievement of changes in work processes necessary for the reorientation of health care in Brazil.

Hoje há maior interesse pelo trabalhador da saúde. A preocupação com o processo de readaptação funcional foi a proposta desta investigação. O objetivo foi compreender a vivência dos sujeitos nos processos de readaptação funcional, em uma instituição hospitalar pública. No estudo, qualitativo, foram realizadas entrevistas para apreensão da vivência do profissional de enfermagem quanto ao processo de readaptação funcional, analisadas utilizando a Análise de Conteúdo, proposta por Bardin. Os resultados evidenciam a problemática do processo de trabalho em enfermagem nas categorias organização do trabalho , trabalho em equipe , afastamento e readaptação funcional e gerenciamento da equipe , gerando sugestões para a melhoria dos processos de trabalho. O processo de readaptação funcional gera individual, profissional e socialmente sentimento de incompetência e culpa no trabalhador. Importantes reflexões e mudanças de atitude são urgentes e necessárias, subsidiando o gerenciamento da equipe que implicará em melhoria na assistência prestada à população.

Este estudo teve como objetivo compreender as potencialidades e limitações do processo de trabalho da enfermagem de uma Unidade Básica de Saúde para o reconhecimento das necessidades de saúde da população. A vertente metodológica utilizada foi a pesquisa social, na perspectiva qualitativa, tendo como base de análise dos discursos a hermêutica-dialética, e como alicerce a Teoria da Interpretação Práxica da Enfermagem em Saúde Coletiva. Os dados foram coletados por meio da entrevista semiestruturada e os processos de trabalho das equipes foram analisados através do Fluxograma Analisador do Modelo de Atenção de um Serviço de Saúde. Concluiu-se que há limitações no cotidiano do processo de trabalho da equipe de enfermagem à medida em que o reconhecimento e enfrentamento das necessidades de saúde perpassavam pela identificação de agravos instalados, deixando em segundo plano os determinantes sociais das más condições de vida associadas ao processo saúde-doença.

Trata-se de um estudo descritivo e exploratório, com abordagem qualitativa dos dados. Objetivou-se analisar a percepção da equipe de enfermagem sobre as condições geradoras de absenteísmo e suas implicações na assistência nas unidades de Urgência e Emergência (UE) das cinco distritais de saúde no município de Ribeirão Preto/SP. Os sujeitos foram profissionais da equipe de enfermagem (enfermeiro, auxiliar e técnico de enfermagem) que atuam nestas unidades. Foram selecionados 2 profissionais de cada categoria, a partir dos critérios de inclusão do estudo, sem considerar sexo, faixa etária e tempo de trabalho no serviço, totalizando 30 participantes. Os dados foram coletados por meio de entrevistas individuais semiestruturadas, conduzidas a partir de um roteiro norteador composto pelas variáveis (Processo de Gestão de Recursos Humanos (RH); Condição de Trabalho em Equipe e Qualidade do Cuidado Prestado) abordadas no estudo. Para análise dos dados utilizou-se análise de conteúdo, modalidade temática. Após análise dos dados, as categorias encontradas foram: TEMA 1 - Gerenciamento, organização e enfrentamento para a operacionalização do trabalho de enfermagem (Subtema 1 - Operacionalização da escala de trabalho frente ao desafio do quantitativo da equipe de enfermagem na unidade de UE; Subtema 2 - Reorganização do trabalho e a perspectiva dos trabalhadores frente à mudança para as 30h/semanais e a terceirização do serviço; Subtema 3 - Tempo de permanência do profissional no serviço; Subtema 4 - Comunicação como ferramenta para desenvolver o trabalho em equipe e gerenciar conflitos); TEMA 2 - Condições impostas ao trabalhador e sua influência no desenvolvimento do trabalho (Subtema 1 - Plano de carreira e salário como estimulantes para desenvolvimento do trabalho; Subtema 2 - Vínculo empregatício: vantagens e desvantagens; Subtema 3 - Educação permanente e sua importância para desenvolvimento do trabalho; Subtema 4 - Influência da estrutura física, materiais e equipamentos no cuidado) e TEMA 3 - Avaliação do serviço e da assistência prestada. No que diz respeito ao quantitativo de enfermagem disposto nas unidades, todos os entrevistados relatam que é um quantitativo razoável e que, em alguns momentos, se sentem sobrecarregados quando ocorrem ausências não previstas. Ao se tratar da terceirização das unidades estatutárias, relata-se que não houve comunicação prévia do evento e é visível a insegurança e frustração por parte dos entrevistados. Ressalta-se que a unidade terceirizada não sofreu mudanças em sua rotina. A rotatividade é presente nestas unidades de UE, sendo maior em determinada unidade e ocorre por inúmeros motivos, dentre eles, aposentadoria, transferência para Unidade Básica de Saúde (UBS), conflitos na equipe e/ou com pacientes, dentre outros. Todos os entrevistados sugerem que a comunicação é fundamental para o desenvolvimento do trabalho em equipe e é através dela que os conflitos possam vir a ser resolvidos. Neste momento, percebe-se, a partir das falas, que a comunicação é diferente entre as unidades e, portanto, existem níveis diferentes de conflitos entre as unidades. O município não possui um plano de carreira efetivo, portanto os entrevistados demonstram desmotivação para buscar novos conhecimentos. Quanto ao salário, estes têm a visão de que é razoável, sendo considerado elevado em relação às demais instituições de saúde do município, porém, defasado em relação à categoria profissional. Os profissionais terceirizados relatam uma certa insatisfação por trabalhar da mesma forma que os estatutários, recebendo um menor salário e sem os mesmos benefícios, o que nos leva à categoria vínculo empregatício, onde a estabilidade é abordada com visões positivas e negativas. Ao se tratar da visão negativa, os entrevistados sugerem que muitos colegas não sabem lidar com esse benefício, se ausentando do trabalho ou trabalhando de uma forma não adequada, prejudicando a rotina do serviço. No que tange à educação permanente, temos a diferença mais gritante do estudo, visto que os entrevistados estatutários relatam que não possuem a disponibilização, através da prefeitura, de cursos de atualização, capacitação e constante aprendizado enquanto que os terceirizados relatam atualizações constantes e apoio por parte da instituição com a qual eles estão vinculados. É unânime que todos os entrevistados consideram que a estrutura física, materiais e equipamentos interferem diretamente no cuidado. Ao serem questionados em relação à avaliação do cuidado prestado, eles o consideram bom, podendo ser melhor caso fossem disponibilizadas condições de trabalho mais adequadas. Considera-se o estudo como um possível instrumento de avaliação dos serviços prestados em unidade de UE, bem como das condições de trabalho fornecidas ao trabalhador e sua satisfação profissional

Background: The ageing population, with concomitant increase in chronic conditions, is increasing the presence of older people with complex needs in hospital. People with dementia are one of these complex populations and are particularly vulnerable to complications in hospital. Registered nurses can offer simultaneous assessment and intervention to prevent or mitigate hospital-acquired complications through their skilled brokerage between patient needs and hospital functions. A range of patient outcome measures that are sensitive to nursing care has been tested in nursing work environments across the world. However, none of these measures have focused on hospitalised older patients. Method: This thesis explores nursing-sensitive complications for older patients with and without dementia using an internationally recognised, risk-adjusted patient outcome approach. Specifically explored are: the differences between rates of complications; the costs of complications; and cost comparisons of patient complexity. A retrospective cohort study of an Australian state’s 2006–07 public hospital discharge data was utilised to identify patient episodes for people over age 50 (N=222,440) where dementia was identified as a primary or secondary diagnosis (N=44,422). Extra costs for patient episodes were estimated based on length of stay (LOS) above the average for each patient’s Diagnosis Related Group (DRG) (N=157,178) and were modelled using linear regression analysis to establish the strongest patient complexity predictors of cost. Results: Hospitalised patients with a primary or secondary diagnosis of dementia had higher rates of complications than did their same-age peers. The highest rates and relative risk for people with dementia were found in four key complications: urinary tract infections; pressure injuries; pneumonia, and delirium. While 21.9% of dementia patients (9,751/44,488, p<0.0001) suffered a complication, only 8.8% of non-dementia patients did so (33,501/381,788, p<0.0001), giving dementia patients a 2.5 relative risk of acquiring a complication (p<0.0001). These four key complications in patients over 50 both with and without dementia were associated with an eightfold increase in length of stay (813%, or 3.6 days/0.4 days) and double the increased estimated mean episode cost (199%, or A$16,403/ A$8,240). These four complications were associated with 24.7% of the estimated cost of additional days spent in hospital in 2006–07 in NSW (A$226million/A$914million). Dementia patients accounted for 22.0% of these costs (A$49million/A$226million) even though they were only 10.4% of the population (44,488/426,276 episodes). Hospital-acquired complications, particularly for people with a comorbidity of dementia, cost more than other kinds of inpatient complexity but admission severity was a better predictor of excess cost. Discussion: Four key complications occur more often in older patients with dementia and the high rate of these complications makes them expensive. These complications are potentially preventable. However, the care that can prevent them (such as mobility, hydration, nutrition and communication) is known to be rationed or left unfinished by nurses. Older hospitalised people who have complex needs, such as those with dementia, are more likely to experience care rationing as their care tends to take longer, be less predictable and less curative in nature. This thesis offers the theoretical proposition that evidence-based nursing practices are rationed for complex older patients and that this rationed care contributes to functional and cognitive decline during hospitalisation. This, in turn, contributes to the high rates of complications observed. Thus four key complications can be seen as a ‘Failure to Maintain’ complex older people in hospital. ‘Failure to Maintain’ is the inadequate delivery of essential functional and cognitive care for a complex older person in hospital resulting in a complication, and is recommended as a useful indicator for hospital quality. Conclusions: When examining extra length of stay in hospital, complications and comorbid dementia are costly. Complications are potentially preventable, and dementia care in hospitals can be improved. Hospitals and governments looking to decrease costs can engage in risk-reduction strategies for common nurse sensitive complications such as healthy nursing work environments that minimise nurses’ rationing of functional and cognitive care. The conceptualisation of complex older patients as ‘business as usual’ rather than a ‘burden’ is likely necessary for sustainable health care services of the future. The use of the ‘Failure to Maintain’ indicators at institution and state levels may aid in embedding this approach for complex older patients into health organisations. Ongoing investigation is warranted into the relationships between the largest health services expense (hospitals), the largest hospital population (complex older patients), and the largest hospital expense (nurses). The ‘Failure to Maintain’ quality indicator makes a useful and substantive contribution to further clinical, administrative and research developments.

No âmbito do 4º Mestrado em Enfermagem com Especialização em Gestão de Unidades de Saúde, da Escola Superior de Saúde do Instituto Politécnico de Portalegre, o presente relatório pretende apresentar um documento reflexivo sobre a aquisição e o desenvolvimento de competências na área da gestão de unidades de saúde, em âmbito de estágio. O estágio decorreu na Unidade de Cuidados Intensivos Dr. Emílio Moreira da Unidade Local do Norte Alentejano, no período de Outubro de 2015 a Fevereiro de 2016. Foi aplicada a metodologia de projeto, tendo desenvolvido no decorrer do estágio o Trabalho de Projeto Avaliação da Carga de Trabalho de Enfermagem na Unidade de Cuidados Intensivos Dr. Emílio Moreira em Portalegre Os enfermeiros desempenham funções muito importantes na área da gestão dos recursos e dos cuidados, em unidades de cuidados intensivos. Uma dessas funções consiste em avaliar o índice de gravidade dos doentes internados e a carga de trabalho de enfermagem através do Therapeutic Intervention Scoring System-28. Neste sentido tornou-se pertinente o estudo retrospetivo da carga de trabalho na UCIDEM, por forma a otimizar a utilização do instrumento de gestão implementado e propor melhorias no âmbito da dotação dos enfermeiros. Concluiu-se, principalmente, que: em relação ao Índice de Enfermeiros e Score TISS, verificaram-se variações acentuadas, quer na necessidade de trabalho de enfermagem quer na gravidade dos doentes, durante 365 dias; comparando a média anual de TISS obtida com o diagnóstico atual da situação na UCIDEM, existe uma dotação desfasada de acordo com o que foi medido pelo TISS; e que a carga de trabalho dos enfermeiros não é distribuída equitativamente pelos turnos
