To do this, the work sampling method was used. The nursing activities performed by the studied nurses were identified by evaluating the patient care forms and by direct observation of nurses during their everyday work routine at the service. The identified activities were then categorized according to a standardized language system. It was found that 35% of the … Show more

“…Some of these are mainly focused on mapping activities and checking their frequency (7) ; others are focused on the elaboration of an activity classification instrument (6) . Yet others address nursing work time management, using different measurement methods in scenarios like the medical clinic (8) , medicalsurgical unit (9) , rooming in (10) , emergency unit (11) , telemetry unit (5) , among others. The use of the NIC as a model to develop nursing workload measures has been important in the literature (12) .…”

A unidade foi escolhida por meio de uma amostra de conveniência, tendo como critério ser considerada de boas práticas em atenção primária.…”
