Systematization of Nursing Care: seeking defining and differentiating theoretical contours

Abstract

The objective of this study was to elaborate theoretical propositions to help understanding the Systematization of Nursing Care as a distinct phenomenon of the Nursing Process. It is a reflective, theoretical study that presented two categories: “Systematization of Nursing Care: seeking differentiating contours” and “Systematization of Nursing Care: seeking defining contours”. It was identified that the systematization is not concerned with guiding the professional nursing care itself, since this issue, together with the guidelines regarding the elaboration of clinical documentation resulting from the implemented nursing care, is related to the process. Despite what the Systematization of Nursing Care is, the idea is that it is a field of knowledge that, through its three pillars and constituent elements, supports the structuring of nursing services and, consequently, the organization or reorganization of professional work in nursing. It is concluded that systematization, in the light of the theoretical propositions presented here, is an area of knowledge that represents a particular way of carrying out the management of nursing services when the three pillars that compose it are considered.

Management technology for implementing the Systematization of Nursing Care

“…Therefore, when the organization of nursing work is compatible and adequate, the benefits to society may be even greater, especially given the fact that nursing professionals may be well positioned to lead critical context management programs, as in Africa, due to HIV control ( 27 ) , or for improving performance management/performance of Primary Health Care nurses ( 28 ) . Furthermore, as it constitutes a pillar of SNC, the elements related to human resources in nursing need to be carefully respected so that there is well-being and quality of life at work in nursing, especially in critical contexts, such as a pandemic, which can be better faced through the understanding and practical operation of defining and differentiating contours ( 29 ) .…”

“…Logo, quando compatível e adequada a organização do trabalho em enfermagem, os benefícios para a sociedade poderão ser ainda maiores, especialmente pelo fato de que profissionais de enfermagem poderão estar bem posicionados para liderarem programas de gerenciamento de contextos críticos, como ocorre no contexto africano, em razão do controle do HIV (27) , ou para a melhoria da gestão do desempenho/performance de enfermeiros na Atenção Primária à Saúde (28) . Outrossim, por se constituir um pilar da SAE, os elementos relacionados aos recursos humanos na enfermagem necessitam ser cuidadosamente respeitados, a fim de que haja bem-estar e qualidade de vida no trabalho em enfermagem, especialmente em contextos críticos, com o de uma pandemia, que poderá ser melhor enfrentada mediante a compreensão e a operacionalidade prática dos contornos definitérios e diferenciadores (29) .…”
