Nursing intervention identification in rooming-in* IDENTIFICAÇÃO DAS INTERVENÇÕES DE ENFERMAGEM NO SISTEMA DE ALOJAMENTO CONJUNTO IDENTIFICACIÓN DE LAS INTERVENCIONES DE ENFERMERÍA EN SISTEMA DE ALOJAMIENTO CONJUNTO

Considering the need of parameters to know the workload existent in Rooming-in (RI), it is imperative to identify nursing activities in the mother-child binomial. The objectives of the study are: to identify nursing activities in the Rooming-In Unit of the HU-USP; to classify activities in nursing interventions according to the Nursing Intervention Classification (NIC), and to validate the interventions. A survey of all activities was carried out by means of clinical records and direct observation of nursing assistance in all the shifts. The content of interventions was validated with the nurses of unit, by means of the workshop technique. It was identified 43 direct and indirect nursing interventions; activities associated and personal activities of the staff. The instrument built with the number of these interventions/activities will permit to, in further studies, correlate the time expended to perform these interventions/activities and thus to propose parameters to measure the need of nursing professionals in RI.
