ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Integration into the health system is essential for safe care and efficient use of resources. OBJECTIVES: The aims of this study were to analyze the transition of care from the perspective of adult patients with neoplasia of the digestive tract and the multiprofessional care team, identify factors that influence the transition of care, and, collectively with professionals, create actions to improve the transition of care at the study site. METHODS: The Care Transitions Measure-15 was administered in a mixed methods study, with a QUAN→QUAL sequential explanatory approach. The principles of deliberative dialogue were used as a knowledge translation strategy, and data integration was carried out. RESULTS: The average score of the Care Transitions Measure-15 considered satisfactory was 74.3. The care plan factor had an unsatisfactory score of 66. Strategies to improve the care transition were listed by the focus group participants, such as supplementary care protocol for patients with neoplasms of the digestive tract, and providing a single discharge plan containing all information relevant to the treatment and continuity of patient care. CONCLUSION: The low score for the care plan factor indicates weakness in the care transition. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE: The integrated analysis results indicated that the care transition can be improved by an educational process during discharge planning, implementation of protocols for patients with neoplasia of the digestive tract, and identification of a reference caregiver to help patients navigate the healthcare system.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the transition of care from the perspective of cancer patients, in a Southern Brazil hospital, correlating perspectives with sociodemographic and clinical characteristics. METHOD: Cross-sectional study using the Care Transitions Measure (CTM) with cancer patients undergoing clinical or surgical treatment following hospital discharge. Data collection was completed by telephone, between June and September 2019. Data analysis was performed using descriptive and inferential statistics. RESULTS: The average CTM score was 74.1, which was considered satisfactory. The CTM factors: understanding about medications (83.3) and preparation for self-management (77.7) were deemed satisfactory; while: secured preferences (69.4) and care plan (66.1) were unsatisfactory for an effective and safe care transition. No statistically significant difference was found between sociodemographic variables and the CTM. Among the clinical variables, primary cancer and the secured preferences factor showed a significant difference (p = 0.044). CONCLUSION: The transition from hospital care to the community was considered satisfactory in the overall assessment.

RESUMO Objetivo: Analisar a transição do cuidado na perspectiva de pacientes oncológicos, em um hospital do sul do Brasil, correlacionando perspectivas com características sociodemográficas e clínicas. Método: Estudo transversal utilizando o Care Transitions Measure (CTM) com pacientes oncológicos em tratamento clínico ou cirúrgico após a alta hospitalar. A coleta de dados foi realizada por telefone entre junho e setembro de 2019. A análise dos dados foi realizada por meio de estatística descritiva e inferencial. Resultados: A pontuação média do CTM de 74,1, foi considerada satisfatória. Os fatores CTM: compreensão sobre medicamentos (83,3) e preparo para autocuidado (77,7) foram satisfatórios, enquanto: preferências garantidas (69,4) e plano de cuidados (66,1) foram insatisfatórios para uma transição de cuidado efetiva e segura. Não foi encontrada diferença estatisticamente significativa entre as variáveis sociodemográficas e o CTM. Entre as variáveis clínicas, o câncer primário e o fator de preferências garantidas apresentaram diferenças significativas (p = 0,044). Conclusão A transição da assistência hospitalar para a comunidade foi considerada satisfatória na avaliação geral.
