“…The study also indicates that patients undergoing clinical treatment require a greater workload during the hospital stay period. These findings support data found in other studies (16,17) , and may be explained by conduction of tests reasons for admission and investigation of medical condition, such as kidney biopsy and the need to compensate the patient, as excretion and maintenance of hydroelectrolytic haemostasis of the organism is impaired.…”

“…Patients with kidney disease need a high workload, which is higher than the workloads detected in studies with patients in medical and surgical units (16)(17) and is similar to that of patients of a high-dependency nursing unit (18) and an intensive care unit (15) . There is a direct relationship between workload during the hospital stay period and variables such as reasons for admission and type of treatment, that is, depending on the reason for admission, the patient may require more nursing care.…”

“…On the other hand, studies on the NW in different units showed various NAS mean, demonstrating that the NW is related to the profile of the patients, including the extent of dependency, the complexity of diseases, work process, professional profile, availability of equipment and physical plant (19)(20)(21)(22) . When comparing the size of the nursing staff according to the NAS and the COFEN resolution 293/04 (7) , it was observed that the number required by the NAS was higher, corroborating the literature (4,11,(23)(24) . On the other hand, another research pointed out that the NW measured through the application of the NAS was lower when compared to the COFEN resolution 293/04 (7) , associating this result to low complexity of patients due to the absence of semi-intensive care unit at the institution (25) .…”

“…Among the instruments available to measure the NW, Nursing Activities Score (NAS) is named as one of the most comprehensive, for representing with greater emphasis the reality, according to the latest version of the Therapeutic Intervention Scoring System (TISS-28). It allows one to measure direct and indirect nursing activities, besides being applicable in different contexts, which is why we chose for the present study (4)(5) , in addition to being translated and validated to the Brazilian reality (6) . Due to the lack of a theoretical framework to address the specific needs of different patients, including pediatric, the Brazilian Federal Council of Nursing (COFEN), through Resolution 293, published in 2004 (7) , defines minimum parameters for the team of nursing professionals.…”
