Resumo
DA SILVA, Juliana Bastoni et al. Nursing workload in a hematology/oncology inpatient unit. Enferm. glob. [online]. 2017, vol.16, n.48, pp.24-55. Epub 14-Dez-2020. ISSN 1695-6141. https://dx.doi.org/10.6018/eglobal.16.4.259151.
Objective
To identify workload-related factors of nursing generated by hematology/oncology inpatients.
Methods
Prospective cohort study conducted with 151 inpatients at a hematology/oncology unit of a university hospital in São Paulo, Brazil. Data were collected using a form with demographic-clinical information and the Nursing Activities Score (NAS). The collected data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics and linear regression models.
Results
Mean NAS in the unit was 47.8% (11.5 hours). Patients with malignant oncological and hematological diseases generated a higher nursing workload than patients with non-malignant diseases (p = 0.0034). Patients who died had higher NAS scores than survivors (p <0.0001). In the linear regression, the variables diagnosis and condition at discharge determined an R2 of 0.26.
Conclusion
Hematology and oncology patients require high dependency care. This finding can support nurses when planning human resources in this specialty.
