Sistematização da assistência de enfermagem: vantagens e dificuldades na sua aplicação sob a ótica de enfermeiros

Objectives: Analyze the nurses' perception about the Systematization of Nursing Care (SNC) in the hospital in which they work, to verify if the SNC interferes in the quality of the care, to make the nurse's point of view and to identify as the main difficulties of the nurse to perform an SNC. Methodology: Qualitative study, descriptive type. The data in the months of May and June of 2017, with 30 nurses of a public hospital in Teresina. Results: The study showed that the professionals interviewed are 27 (90%) female, aged between 25 and 60 years and service time between 1 and 27 years. In addition, 22 (73.33%) of the nurses had contact with SNC during graduation. Nurses' discourses allow the construction of three thematic categories: "The systematization of nursing care as a systematic process that allows professionals to organize and individualize the care provided"; "Nurses' perception about the contributions of the systematization of nursing care for care" and "Difficulties experienced by nurses in the process of systematization of care". Conclusion: It was verified that for nurses systematization is an instrument that allows the planning of individualized care, organization and autonomous service to the professional. All the interviewees believe that the SNC contributes to improve the service, while it directs care to the patient, gives support and autonomy to the nurse and brings health professionals together as a team, as well as increasing the professional / patient relationship. Barriers were cited for a systematization, overwork, unprepared staff and computerization of SNC.
