Assessment of the product of nursing care in specialized hospitals

ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate the product of care in units of specialized hospitals, identifying the items that most contributed to the score; to compare the product of care among hospitals, units, and shifts; to verify the association between demographic and professionals variables and the product of care. Method: Descriptive study, conducted in eight units of two specialized hospitals in the State of São Paulo. The evaluation of the product of care was performed by applying an instrument to 44 nurses. Results: "Multidisciplinary interaction and performance" obtained the lowest median in both hospitals, and the "Meeting assistance needs" and "Nursing care planning" were the better assessed ones. "Dimensioning of nursing staff" was the item that most contributed to the total score. There was a weak correlation between socio-demographic variables and score. Conclusion: The product of care, as found in both hospitals, was predominantly considered "good." The tool enabled the identification of critical aspects of the nursing work.
