The lived experiences of nurses with perfomance reviews in a public hospital in the Eastern Cape Province : a phenominological approach

Xego, Siziwe Winnifred 11 1900 (has links)
Performance Management and Development System (PMDS) is a process of harnessing human and material resources within an organisation to ensure maximum performance to achieve the desired results of improved quality of health service delivery. This study explored and described the ontological experiences of nurses of all categories with contracting and doing performance reviews in a public hospital in the Eastern Cape Province. Purposive sampling approach was used to recruit all categories of nurses Data was collected through unstructured, individual, in-depth interviews with professional nurses and focus group interviews with lower categories. Techs eight step data analysis method was employed to analyse data. Major findings were related to lack of supervisor cooperation, shortage of resources, difficulty in calculating the scores, lack of understanding the tool, time constraints and paperwork which results in the tool being viewed as time consuming. Positive findings were that experiences such as improved relations resulting from spending time with supervisors during performance review sessions. Guidelines were developed, based on the findings, to empower both nurse clinicians and the supervisors in the implementation of the PMDS. , / Health Studies / D. Litt. et Phil. (Health Studies)

Gerenciamento da qualidade em um serviço de enfermagem hospitalar: visão do enfermeiro / Management of quality in a hospital nursing service: nurse s view

Elyrose Sousa Brito Rocha 02 July 2007 (has links)
Este trabalho foi desenvolvido com os objetivos de analisar o Gerenciamento da Qualidade implantado em um serviço de enfermagem hospitalar e conhecer a opinião do enfermeiro a respeito desse Gerenciamento no serviço em que trabalha. Por tratarse de um estudo de caráter exploratório e descritivo optamos por utilizar, como instrumento de coleta de dados, um formulário para entrevista elaborado pela autora com base em Deming (1990) e Antunes (1997). A partir dos resultados obtidos, juntamente com a revisão da literatura, acreditamos que os objetivos inicialmente propostos foram alcançados. Como principais resultados do estudo podemos citar que 17 (100%) dos enfermeiros entrevistados: afirmam que conhecem a filosofia da Qualidade Total aplicada ao serviço de enfermagem em que trabalham e acreditam que a implantação da filosofia trouxe melhoria para a sua prática. Além disso, quatro (24%) dentre estes, únicos presentes no hospital desde a adoção da nova filosofia, percebem aumento na satisfação do cliente em relação aos cuidados prestados; acreditam que houve melhoria no relacionamento interpessoal da equipe de enfermagem; e acham que o desempenho profissional do pessoal de enfermagem aumentou após a implantação. Dentre os 14 princípios de Deming (1990), o mais bem pontuado pelos enfermeiros foi o sétimo, que diz respeito a adotar e instituir a liderança (82% de atribuições à pontuação máxima). Por outro lado, o princípio menos pontuado foi o terceiro: cesse a dependência da inspeção em massa (18% de atribuições à pontuação máxima). Pretendemos que os enfermeiros, principalmente os que exercem cargo de gerência, considerem a filosofia da Qualidade Total como viável e aceitem o desafio de romper as barreiras da tradição, passando do discurso para a prática. / This research aimed to analyze the management of quality implemented in a hospital nursing care to learn the opinion of nurses regarding the management of the service they perform. Because the study exploratory and descriptive characteristics, the data collection was performed through an interview using a form elaborated by the author based in Deming (1990) and Antunes (1997). We believe the initial objectives were reached based on the literature review and results obtained. Among the main the results we can point that 17 (100%) of the interviewed nurses affirm to know the philosophy of Total Quality applied to the nursing service in which they work and believe the implementation of the philosophy improved their practice. Beside that, four (24%) among all, the only ones present at hospital since the adoption of the new philosophy, perceive the client?s increased satisfaction regarding the care delivered; believe the interpersonal relationship of the nursing team improved; and believe the professional performance of the nursing team improved after the implementation of the philosophy. Among the 14 principles of the Deming (1990), the higher scored one was the seventh, which concerns to the adoption and institution of leadership (82% of the attributions). On the other hand, the least scored principle was the third: cease the dependency of mass inspection (18% of the attributions). We pretend that nurses, specially those who exert management positions, consider the philosophy of Total Quality as viable and accept the challenge of breaking the barriers of tradition, going from discourse to the practice.

Perspectivas do gerenciamento de enfermagem hospitalar / Perspectives of hospital nursing management.

Ariane Fazzolo Scarparo 08 October 2012 (has links)
A prática do gerenciamento de enfermagem necessita romper barreiras da influência do método funcional e direcionar-se às práticas contemporâneas do gerenciamento do cuidado de enfermagem, pautado pela ideia da gerência participativa, tendo como centralidade o usuário, criando espaços coletivos, envolvendo todos os agentes do processo de trabalho, com a articulação da gerência ao cuidado de enfermagem, na perspectiva de que, a partir dele, emergem elementos para a organização do trabalho de enfermagem. Entretanto, essa concepção de gerenciamento ainda é pouco difundida e sua prática não está consolidada. Esta pesquisa teve como objetivo caracterizar, segundo a ótica de enfermeiros que atuam na enfermagem brasileira na área de gerência, o gerenciamento de enfermagem hospitalar centrado no usuário, bem como descrever sua concepção, identificar as prioridades e sistematizar tendências futuras. Metodologicamente, foi realizado estudo exploratório quantitativo, de mensuração de opinião, utilizando a técnica Delphi, com participação de enfermeiros experts em gerenciamento de enfermagem hospitalar, atuantes em hospitais e em docência, em três rodadas de opiniões para estabelecimento de consenso sobre o assunto. Os dados foram apresentados segundo estatística descritiva e analisados a partir do referencial teórico sobre o tema. O projeto foi aprovado pelo Comitê de Ética em Pesquisa. Os resultados evidenciaram que o cenário atual no qual, o gerenciamento de enfermagem está imerso, é influenciado pelo método funcional, sendo explícita a necessidade de mudança de paradigma, sem, contudo, desconsiderar seus aspectos positivos, sendo o gerenciamento do cuidado de enfermagem tendência potencial, por ter o usuário como foco das ações e por considerar a lógica das instituições, dos profissionais e usuário. Na atualidade, já é possível identificar o enfoque do gerenciamento do cuidado, porém, sem a concretização na prática que se encontra distanciada dos princípios que a norteiam. Identificou-se que há lacuna entre o panorama atual e a perspectiva futura, na qual aspectos que ainda não fazem parte da realidade atual têm perspectiva de concretização. A concepção versou sobre a articulação da gerência no cuidado de enfermagem, sendo que, na ocorrência da cisão entre essas dimensões, são geradas deficiências na assistência. Estabeleceu-se consenso quanto à necessidade de priorizar o cuidado como núcleo do processo de trabalho e as ações gerenciais, tendo como finalidade a assistência. Para a implementação do gerenciamento de enfermagem com foco no usuário, evidenciou-se a necessidade de desenvolver competências pautadas no trabalho coletivo. Este estudo possibilitou identificar conhecimentos referentes ao gerenciamento de enfermagem, na perspectiva da atualidade e do futuro. Entende-se que o gerenciamento de enfermagem, com foco no usuário, articula gerência e assistência, sofre influência e influencia as especificidades das diferentes clínicas. Identificar e discutir os pontos fracos e fortes, os fatores facilitadores e dificultadores, bem como as características essenciais para a prática do gerenciamento, favorece a reflexão sobre a estruturação dos processos e o direcionamento das ações para que, de fato, as mudanças necessárias comecem a ocorrer. Trata-se de alternativa contemporânea e inovadora para modificar moldes de gerenciamento ainda praticados que não têm obtido êxito ao contemplar a integralidade da assistência ao usuário. / The nursing management practice needs to break barriers of the influence of the functional method and direct itself to the contemporary practices of nursing care management, guided by the idea of participative management, focused on users, creating collective spaces, involving all stakeholders of the work process, jointly with nursing care managers, in the perspective that elements for the organization of nursing work emerge from it. However, this conception of management is still not widespread and its practice is not consolidated. This study aimed to characterize, according to the viewpoint of nurses working in management of Brazilian nursing, the management of user-centered hospital nursing, and to describe its design, identify the priorities and systematize future trends. It is an exploratory and quantitative study, with measurement of opinion, using the Delphi technique, and with the participation of nurses expert in hospital nursing management, who works in hospitals and in teaching, in three rounds of opinions to establish consensus on the subject. Data were presented according to descriptive statistics and analyzed from the theoretical framework on the subject. The project was approved by the Research Ethics Board. Results showed that the current scenario, in which nursing management is inserted, is influenced by the functional method, and there is explicit need for a paradigm shift, without, however, ignoring its positive aspects. Nursing care management is a potential trend, as it focuses its actions on users and considers the logic of the institutions, professionals and users. Currently, it is possible to identify the focus of care management, however, this is not found in practice, which is detached from its guiding principles. Gaps were identified between the current situation and future perspective, in which aspects that are not yet part of the current reality have a prospect of accomplishment. The design addressed the joint management in nursing care, and, in the case of splitting between these dimensions, deficiencies in care occur. Consensus was established regarding the need to prioritize care as the core of the work process and management actions, aiming at care. For the implementation of nursing management focused on users, there is need to develop skills based in collective work. This study identified knowledge related to nursing management, in the perspective of present and future. It is understood that nursing management, focused on users, articulates management and care, is influenced and influences the specificities of the different areas. Identifying and discussing the strengths, weaknesses, facilitating factors and difficulties, as well as the essential characteristics of the management practice, encourages reflection on the structuring of processes and guides actions so that, in fact, the needed changes start to happen. It is a contemporary and innovative alternative to modify management molds still practiced and that have not been successful in providing comprehensive care to users.

O faturamento gerado pelos procedimentos de enfermagem em uma unidade de terapia intensiva. / Turnover generated by nursing procedures at a intensive care unit.

Raquel Silva Bicalho Zunta 21 September 2006 (has links)
Todos os países, independente do modelo de assistência à saúde adotado, têm compartilhado de um problema comum, os custos explosivos frente a recursos ou orçamentos limitados. Assim, custos crescentes e elevados dos serviços de saúde têm afetado todos os prestadores de serviços, sejam públicos ou privados. Na atual realidade financeira da saúde os hospitais terão que adotar um sistema para se ter um melhor controle dos processos de trabalho e informações precisas que possibilitem avaliar os resultados financeiros do hospital. As enfermeiras administradoras estão cada vez mais sendo envolvidas em decisões financeiras, no planejamento orçamentário de suas instituições, tendo que gerir recursos (humanos, materiais e financeiros) muitas vezes escassos. Diante destas considerações, constata-se a importância da enfermeira enquanto geradora de receita por ações prescritas ao paciente e como gestora das atividades realizadas na sua unidade, demandadas por outro profissional, principalmente em um hospital privado, onde as maiores fontes pagadoras são os convênios. Assim os objetivos desse estudo foram: calcular o faturamento gerado pelos procedimentos de enfermagem em uma unidade de terapia intensiva e calcular a porcentagem do faturamento gerado pela enfermagem em relação ao faturamento total da UTI. Tratou-se de uma pesquisa exploratória, descritiva, documental, com abordagem quantitativa. Foi realizado em uma UTI geral, de um hospital geral, privado, de grande porte, com 407 leitos, na cidade de São Paulo. A amostra foi de 159 pacientes. As fontes para obtenção dos dados foram as prescrições de enfermagem, as prescrições médicas, a fatura do paciente, o guia para apontamento em planilhas e procedimentos da qualidade. Foram elaborados dois instrumentos para coleta de dados. Concluiu-se que os procedimentos da prescrição de enfermagem, que mais contribuíram, foram: verificar débito cardíaco, instalar VAMP, colocar trackcare, trocar filtro umidificador, verificar pressão capilar pulmonar e fazer curativos e os procedimentos de enfermagem, da prescrição médica, que mais contribuíram foram: dieta enteral, dieta parenteral (NPP) e diálise. Em média, o faturamento recebido de cada paciente foi de R$8.918,30; o faturamento dos procedimentos de enfermagem, oriundos da prescrição de enfermagem foi de R$1.230,33 e os da prescrição médica foi de R$508,57. Em média o faturamento da prescrição de enfermagem foi de 11,3%, ou seja, o faturamento da prescrição de enfermagem foi maior que o da prescrição médica; sendo 5,4% com mão-de-obra e 5,9% foram com materiais e em média, 3,8% do faturamento obtido de cada paciente, foi da prescrição médica; desses, 1,4% foi com mão-de-obra e 2,4% foi com materiais. Obteve-se, então, que os procedimentos de enfermagem foram responsáveis por 15,1% do faturamento total da UTI. A abordagem do tema representou um grande desafio pela falta de literatura específica a respeito, além de ser uma realidade, praticamente, nova para a enfermeira que, hoje, é considerada gestora de sua unidade de negócio. / Every country, no matter the health assistance model adopted, has been sharing a common problem: high costs facing limited resources and budgets. Thus, growing and high costs of health services have been affecting all public or private service providers. In the current financial health reality, hospitals will have to adopt a system to get a better control of work processes and precise information to make possible to evaluate the Hospital’s financial results. Nurse managers are even more involved in financial decisions, and budget institution planning and have to manager human, material and financial resources which sometimes are rare. Facing those considerations, the importance of the nurses is proven as income generator by actions prescribed to patients and as managers of activities held at their units, demanded by another professional, mainly at a private hospital, where major payer sources are medical health care. Thus, this study objects were: calculating incoming generated by nursing procedures at a intensive care unit and calculating percentage of incoming generated by nursing facing the total IUC incoming. It was an exploratory, descriptive, documental and quantitative approach research. It was held at a general ICU at a general private big hospital with 407 beds in the city of São Paulo. 159 patients were enrolled for the sample. Data sources were nursing prescriptions, medical prescriptions, patient’s invoice, permit to note in spreadsheet and quality procedures. Two data collection instruments were elaborated. We concluded nursing prescription procedures that contributed most were: verifying heart debt, installing VAMP, placing trackcare, changing humidifier filters, verifying pulmonary capillary pressure and plastering and nursing medical prescription procedures that contributed most were: enteral diet, parenteral diet (NPP) and dialysis. As an average, incoming received from each patient was R$8.918,30; nursing procedure incoming, from nursing prescription was R$1.230,33 and those from medical prescription was R$508,57. Nursing prescription incoming was 11,3%, that means, nursing prescription incoming was higher than the medical prescription one; nursing prescription turnover was higher than medical prescription turnover; it was 5,4% with workforce and 5,9% with materials, and 3,8% of each patient turnover was from medical prescription; of these, 1,4% was with workforce and 2,4% with materials. We concluded that nursing procedures were responsible for 15,1% of total ICU incoming. This approach represented a great challenge due to the lack of specific literature, and it is an almost new reality for nurses considered managers of their business unit today.

Satisfação do paciente com os cuidados de enfermagem : adaptação cultural e validação do Patient Satisfaction Instrument

Oliveira, Acacia Maria Lima de 26 February 2004 (has links)
Orientador: Edineis de Brito Guirardello / Dissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Estadual de Campinas, Faculdade de Ciencias Medicas / Made available in DSpace on 2018-08-04T03:23:24Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 1 Oliveira_AcaciaMariaLimade_M.pdf: 5400295 bytes, checksum: 9cdb377799ce85db56adcce9afe05b04 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2004 / Resumo: Resumo o processo de hospitalização pode acarretar para o paciente um distanciamento do seu convívio familiar. O fato de permanecer, mesmo que temporariamente, em um ambiente estranho ao seu convívio, com normas e rotinas a que não está habituado e a expectativa com relação ao tratamento, podem gerar sentimentos de insatisfação com relação ao cuidado recebido. A satisfação do paciente com o cuidado de enfermagem, foi definida por RISSER (1975) como sendo o grau de congruência entre as expectativas do paciente e sua percepção sobre o cuidado recebido. Estudos sobre satisfação do paciente na cultura brasileira utilizam-se de uma abordagem genérica, de modo a não valorizar a satisfação do paciente com a assistência de enfermagem. Sendo assim, é importante utilizar instrumentos de medida específicos para avaliar a satisfação do paciente quanto aos cuidados de enfermagem. Considerando a inexistência de instrumentos para este fim, o presente estudo teve por objetivo traduzir e validar o Patient Satisfaction Instrument (PSI), desenvolvido por Hinshaw e Atwood (1982), para a cultura brasileira. É um instrumento composto de 25 itens que aborda situações do cuidado de enfermagem, agrupados em três domínios: Educacional, Profissional e Confiança. O procedimento metodológico de adaptação utilizado seguiu as etapas de: a) tradução do instrumento para a língua portuguesa; b) tradução de volta para a língua original; c) julgamento por um comitê de juízes e d) pré-teste da versão final do instrumento, o qual denominou-se Instrumento de Satisfação do Paciente (ISP). Participaram do estudo 211 pacientes, internados em clínicas médicocirúrgicas de dois hospitais do município de São Paulo. Na análise da confiabilidade do instrumento, obteve-se alta consistência interna para todos os itens do instrumento (a= 0,88) e para os domínios Educacional (a= 0,66) e Confiança a= 0,79). Apenas para o domínio Profissional, obteve-se um coeficiente alfa de Cronbach de 0,62. Quanto a validade de constructo, a análise de fator exploratória mostrou que, apesar da medida de adequação da amostra ter sido estatisticamente significante, (MSA= 0,84), o critério utilizado para selecionar fatores com auto valor maior que 1 demonstrou sete fatores que explicaram 62% variância total. Os resultados da análise de fator confirmatória mostraram que apenas o RMR, obteve valores aceitáveis (0,10). Os resultados desse estudo indicam que o PSI traduzido para a nossa cultura pode ser utilizado para medir satisfação do paciente. Entretanto, é necessário que este instrumento seja aplicado em outras populações com características semelhantes para testar os itens que não foram consistentes na amostra estudada / Abstract: The hospitalization process may keep the patient distant from their family. The fact of being in an unfamiliar setting, even for a short period, with established rules and routines that they are not used to and the expectations concerning the treatment, may bring about dissatisfactions. Patient Satisfaction with nursing care was defined by RISSER (1975) as the congruence degree between the patient expectations and their perception concerning the care provided. Studies on patient satisfaction in Brazil adopt a generic approach and do not give value to patient satisfaction with the nursing care. Based on that, it is important to use specific measurement instruments in order to assess the patient satisfaction with the nursing care. As there are no instruments with this purpose, the present study aimed at translating and validating the Patient Satisfaction Instrument (PSI) developed by Hinshaw and Atwood (1982) to the Brazilian culture. The PSI is constituted of 25 items that cover situations related to the nursing care grouped in three domains: Educational, Professional and Trust. The methodological procedure used were a) translation of the instrument into Portuguese; b) back-translation to English c) committee review; d) test of the pre-final version. 211 patients admitted in medical-surgical clinics in two hospitais in São Paulo city made part of the study. The analysis of its reliability scored high internal consistence in ali items (a=0.88), and for Educational domains (oc=0.66); and Trust (oc=0.79). Only for the Professional domain it scored Cronbach's alfa (oc=0.62). In relation to construct validity, the exploratory factor analysis showed that besides the adequacy measure of the sampling been statistically significant (MSA=0,84), the criteria used to select the factors with an eigenvalue of 1.00 or above demonstrate seven factors that explained 62% of the total variance. The results of confirmatory factor analisys showed that only the root mean-squared residual (RMR), met the criteria standards (0.10). The results of this study indicate that the PSI translated to Brazilian culture can be used to measure patient'satisfaction. However, it is necessary to point out that it is important to apply this instrument to other populations with characteristics similar to the ones in the present study in order to review the items which were not consistent in the studied samples / Mestrado / Enfermagem e Trabalho / Mestre em Enfermagem

A programme to facilitate quality patient care in a case management environment

Swart, Anna Margaretha Gertruida 02 June 2014 (has links)
D.Cur. (Nursing Management) / A health maintenance organisation (HMO) that implements managed care is the health care service provider for a mine group. Case management is an integral part of managed care. Case management in a managed care setting within this mine group should be to the holistic benefit of both the client/patient and the service provider. Within the case management environment, nurse case managers (CMs) and their counterparts (professional nurses) should provide and facilitate quality patient care. However, they face many challenges, such as working in isolation from one another. The purpose of the study was to develop a training programme for CMs and professional nurses (PNs) to facilitate quality patient care in a managed care environment for the health care service provider for a mine group. In this study a qualitative, exploratory, descriptive, and contextual design was followed. Purposive sampling was conducted from the populations of six CMs (N=6) and thirty PNs (N=30). Focus group discussions with twenty-eight (28) PNs and individual unstructured interviews with four (4) CMs were conducted to describe their experiences in the case management environment. Open coding followed, based on Tesch’s (1990) method of qualitative analysis (De Vos, 1998:343), and a conceptual framework emerged from the data analysis. A programme to facilitate quality patient care in a case management environment of the HMO was described for stakeholders (nurse case-managers and PNs). Recommendations for implementing the programme were described. Adapted phases of the programme development process of Meyer and van Niekerk (2008) were used in developing the programme. The survey list of the Practice Oriented Theory of Dickhoff, James and Wiedenbach (1968:434) formed the basis for developing a conceptual framework for the programme. Principles of case- and problem-based approaches (Scheider, 2010) served as a point of departure to develop the context-specific training programme. Trustworthiness was maintained by using Guba’s (De Vos, 2006:346; Babbie & Mouton, 2001: 276) model criteria, which are credibility, transferability, conformability and dependability. Ethical standards were adhered to throughout the study.

Best practice guideline for the nursing management of women with gestational diabetes mellitus in military health institutions in Ghana

Mensah, Gwendolyn Patience January 2017 (has links)
Pregnancy is a normal physiological process for the majority of women. These women, their families and significant others normally expect a successful period of pregnancy, labour, delivery and arrival of a normal and healthy baby. However, some of these pregnant women may develop Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) during this period and if not managed properly, the mother and the foetus in utero are affected in a negative way: there is a likelihood of the mother and baby developing Type 2 Diabetes in the future and also, other risks such as preterm labour, and foetal macrosomia. In order to prevent such occurrences, I set out to develop a best practice guideline for the nursing management of GDM in military health institutions in Ghana in order to help enhance nursing care. The design for this research was qualitative, explorative, descriptive and contextual in nature. The research is organised in three phases: Phase one deals with the data analysis and discussion of the interviews with professional nurses and midwives and women with a history of GDM. The data collected from the interviews were transcribed, analysed and extracted with Tesch’s eight steps of coding used for the coding. The services of an independent coder were employed to assist with the coding process which led to the formulation of key themes. Semi-structured individual interviews provided a means of exploring the perceptions of professional nurses and midwives on the nursing management of GDM: in addition, women with a history of GDM were interviewed so as to elicit their views on the management they had experienced from professional nurses and midwives before and after being diagnosed with GDM. The trustworthiness of the study was ensured by conforming to Lincoln and Guba’s framework of credibility, transferability, dependability, confirmability and authenticity. An independent coder assisted with the coding process. Phase two deals with the Integrative literature review of available evidence-based clinical practice guidelines for the nursing management of GDM. Evidence-based clinical practice guidelines were searched and appraised with assistance from an independent appraiser and themes were then formulated. In Phase three, the themes from Phase one and Phase two were integrated for the development of a draft best practice guideline for the nursing management of GDM in military health institutions in Ghana. The draft guideline was given to an expert panel of reviewers for their comments and recommendations. These were considered in the development of the final best practice guideline for the nursing management of GDM.

M.Cur. (Professional Nursing) / The strike by student nurses at the Baragwanath Hospital has brought the reality of the trade union movement to the attention of the nursing profession in the Republic of South Africa. This has raised questions as to how informed nurses are in respect of the trade union movement and also how the trade union movement influences the professional ism of nurses as well as the personnel management function of the nursing service manager. An exploratory, descriptive study, within contextual framework was carried out. The purpose of the research was to determine the knowledge of registered nurses about the trade' union movement, as well as the influence thereof on the professionalism of the nurse on the one hand and on the other hand the influence thereof on the. personnel management function of the nursing service manager in selected private and pubt Lc hospitals in the Transvaal and the Orange Free State. The most important findings and conclusions resulting from this study are the lack of adequate knowledge amongst nurses concerning the trade union movement; the fact that the latter has a minor influence on the personnel management function of the nursing service manager and that the trade union movement has a deprofessionalising influence on the professionalism of the nurse. The most important recommendations include a program of resocialisation for the Subprofessional groups in nursing; in service training for all nurses concerning labour relationships and the trade union movement; elimination of matters causing dissatisfaction in the work situation of nurses; a much greater involvement of the South African Nursing Association in the affairs and the problems of the individual nurse as well as implementing purposeful professional discipline by the South African Nursing Council during strikes by nurses.
