Brief Summary:
As the resolution of the Brazilian Federal Council of Nursing COFEN sizing the framework of nursing professionals is essential to ensure the safety and quality of patient care To achieve such goals actions are needed to evaluate the variety of tasks and performance specific to each area in nursing profession The National Agency for Health Surveillance ANVISA through Board Resolution RDC-154 determines that the nurse to patient ratio is 1 to 30 in hemodialysis and 1 to 50 on peritoneal dialysis however these targets are not based on any evidence and same apply to other Latin-American countries Objective To determine the appropriate nurse patient ratio for peritoneal dialysis unit Method This research will be developed in two phases The first with an observational design with descriptive and qualitative approach There will be a focus group with experts in the field to defined the activities and responsibilities of the peritoneal dialysis nurse and produce a tool with a list of activities A time-orientated score will be created In the second stage a cross-sectional quantitative approach will be used To apply the instrument from by direct observation of activities performed by nurses during their workday With the instrument activities will be timed and the overall time of each nursing activity will be determined by multiplying the time spent by the total number of patients It is expected tat this strategy will increase time on treatment andor decrease dropout rates by developing an easy test formula application to determine the correct ratio according to the peritoneal dialysis program This tool will provide better outcomes for patients as well as allow for growth of peritoneal dialysis programs with qualified assistance and patient safety
Detailed Description:
Research question
Can a time-oriented score system and expert consensus be applied to PD to develop an easy and repeatable system to evaluate work load for peritoneal dialysis nurses to achieve the best outcomes and allow for planned growth of the unit
