RESUMO
OBJETIVOS: Avaliar a carga de trabalho de enfermagem em unidade de recuperação pós-anestésica e relacionar com o índice de gravidade cirúrgico, tempo de permanência, porte cirúrgico e idade. MÉTODOS: Estudo transversal conduzido em hospital universitário. A carga de trabalho foi avaliada pelo Nursing Activities Score e o índice de gravidade pelo Simplified Acute Physiology Score II aplicados na alta da unidade de recuperação. RESULTADOS: Foram incluídos 160 pacientes, idade média 57±15 anos. A carga de trabalho para 50% dos pacientes foi de 45,6 minutos a cada hora de permanência na unidade. Não houve relação entre carga de trabalho e índice de gravidade. Contudo, houve correlações positivas entre carga de trabalho, tempo de permanência e porte cirúrgico. O índice de gravidade apresentou correlação com a idade. CONCLUSÃO: A carga de trabalho de enfermagem em unidade de recuperação pós-anestésica sofre influência do tempo de permanência e do porte cirúrgico.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES: To assess nursing workload in the post-anesthesia care unit and its potential correlations with a surgical severity index, length of stay, magnitude of surgery, and patient age. METHODS: Cross-sectional study conducted at a university hospital. Workload was assessed by the Nursing Activities Score, and severity of illness, by the Simplified Acute Physiology Score II. Both were assessed at the time of discharge from the unit. RESULTS: The study sample comprised 160 patients (mean age, 57 ± 15 years). The median nursing workload was 45.6 minutes per hour, i.e. 50% of patients required 45.6 minutes of nursing care per hour spent in the post-anesthesia care unit. There was no association between workload and severity index. However, there were positive correlations among workload, length of stay, and magnitude of surgery. The severity of illness was correlated with age. CONCLUSION: Nursing workload in the post-anesthesia care unit is influenced by length of stay and magnitude of surgery.
